I haven't been through hell and back- just lots of bullying and self recognition. I haven't had life threatening problems due to my weight, just glares and self loathing. I'm trying hard to love my body, but I'm pushing myself to be better and healthier along with it. I'm 5'10, and almost 16 years old. My highest weight was 250 lbs a few years ago, but I dropped 70 and got to 180. I let myself gain 10 pounds, and now here I am, trying to prevent obesity again. I hope that I can stay healthy and love my body by honing it to what I want it to look like.
