hey jessica!

i'm kristen, and im 17.
i've basically been overweight my whole life. since birth believe it or not.
sadly enough, it IS embarrassing to talk about. sitting in health class when they talk about healthy eating is even embarrassing for me. i've gone to the gym, and i was scared at first. but then while i was working out, i felt good. it was hard doing it, but realizing that after that i'd feel so much better, made up for the embarrassment, and believe it or not, a lot of overweight people are there too.
and about your parents. i've told them about me trying to lose weight, but i keep things in too. i'd mention you wanna try to lose weight, so they can support you and help you out. but keep a journal too. it always helped me.


much love, and GL.

You shouldn't feel embarrassed about changing your habits into healthy habits and living a healthy lifestyle. There is plenty of support here! You may want to check out and join some teams to help you through your journey. Here are a few articles from the Resource Center that I recommend in getting you started in the right direction:
