I can see how you'd feel like this, but those people who were putting your down about your weight, are most likely the major reason why you're here. This is all personal opinion, but I believe if you really want to loose weight, you're going to have to do it for you not them. Not only will you have the appearance you desire, but you'll have more energy, you'll be healthier, and it'll have big benifits when you're older. Forget all those people, anyone who's said you couldn't or won't do this, you can. Just make realistic goals, keep your spirits up, and spend your time with people who are rooting for you, not stomping on your confidence. Best wishes

Hi Genny, to SparkTeens! There is plenty of support and resources here on the site! You may want to consider speaking with a counselor about how you are feeling. The site can help you gain healthy habits, but a professional counselor can help you work out your feelings.
The Resource Center has a lot of great articles that can help you in your journey that you may want to check out. Also, you may want to join some SparkTeams to help you through this. Joining a team that you have similar interests with others can be very helpful!
Here are a few articles that I would suggest taking a look at:
