Guess my parents were alex they do not need to worry about me going out late at night. I know what it is like to be overweight. I make small changes to my diets like cutting down on dairy products such as cheese, full cream milk and instead consume more yogurt and low fat milk. No one wants to be your partner when you go to prom night.

I get teased all the time with all sorts of names. Do you feel you have been overweight forever. For dinner, I will have a pasta (not white sauce), normally tossed with fresh tomatoes, herbs, some tomato paste and red wine and sprinkle a little cheese on top..

I change my lunch to mostly sandwiches with half cheese or a bowl of fruit salad mixed with yogurt. Growing up was difficult especially in school. I have tried all kinds of dieting and nothing really works until one day I tell myself it is a matter of mind over body. I never get asked to go out on a date and used to wonder if any guy would ever ask me out.

I have to first think myself thin.
