(i recently became a vegetarian and last week they gave me fried chicken. -.-;) thanx for listening to my ramblings :) -kaylie

If you want something sweet have a peice of fruit. Start exercising or find a fun activity or sport to play. No need to exercise everyday. At your age just start being more active outside rather than inside playing video games or whatever it is you do. Enjoy life and don't fret about your weight, by making those small changes you will begin to get where you want to be physically, your too young to be analyzing your diet so closely. Just my advice having been there before. Take it easy Kaylie.
