text: am i too fat?? i am 20 years old and a short 5,2, i weigh between 8s 12lbs to 9s. my weight goes up and down a couple of pounds every now and then. i am a size 10-12 - (mainly 12) and have alot of fat on my stomach which is depressing me soo much. i always wear a jacket on everywhere i go including inside - even in the summer, because i dont want others to see it. what should i do??? i hate being fat! its pretty simple, you watch what you eat and workout.  you need to burn more calories in a day than you take in.  tips:  -drink only water (you can get easily and extra thousand calorie a day from juice and sodas) -excersize every day, even if its just a little. walking around meal time is great. get on a bike, play tennis, just stay active and don't sit around. -eat a lot of veggies.  veggies are low in calories and fill you up faster. you can eat a lot more carrots for your calories than you can chocolate. -eat negative calorie foods. ok, so they are not really negative calories, but your body burns more calories to digest them that are in them, so it balances out to free calories! foods such as apples, radishes, asparagus...
