I used to be really depressed because my older sister was slimmer than me and I was teased for it. But now I'm taking up activities I enjoy like dancing and kick boxing to keep fit and I have started drinking more water. I have found out that this is all it really takes for me to keep fit and now I feel much better and am having fun! I also go to the gym every week and am keeping at it because I have never felt better!
