hmmm... what if you DO exercise a lot, HATE soda, and HATE eating fat cuz it's sticky and stuff, but STILL overweight? hmmm???

diet is a disgusting word. girls or boys, men and women think that diets are amazing. really?no. im 12 years old and my teacher is teaching me that diets are awful. diets are pretty much like abusing your diet. dont go on a diet. just eat the same but smaller amounts. have plenty of water and exercise 60 minutes a day. 20-30 minutes wont do it because your body wont burn any fat until youre over 30 minutes. im over weight and i know how all of you feel. try it out. challenge; stop drinking soda.
