Maybe I ' m the only one but I play every dungeon with BotLB . Wasn ' t convinced by BoV at the time I tried it because of mana issues , but with SW , HA and 30 % more loD from BotLB , you have enough cds to use on trash to make up for the BoV group heal and you don ' t have to worry about the tank as much . <| sep |> you ' re only 13 . your body is changing at a rapid rate and will continue to do so for a good few years yet . you want to be losing small amounts of weight slowly over a period of time through a healthy diet 80 % of your task and doctoragreed exercise 20 % of your task . your guardians need to take into account that certain types of exercise are not good for joints and bones in a developing teenager , and that there will always be minor fluctuations up and down daytoday , weektoweek because of variable factors including water weight and hormonal factors like intermittent bloating . you ' re looking for a good trend in the right direction over time , not a militaristic regime that will distort your relationship with your body . it ' s good to be at a healthy weight because it puts less stress on your systems , and that ' s important because as I said you ' re still growing , you ' re laying the foundations for your adult body but it ' s important that you do it in a way that you find fun and engaging , because you ' re more likely to stick with it . there are lots of ways to lose unwanted weight without doing something as highimpact as skiing , so if it ' s not for you , check out other stuff , from Zombies Run ! hiking , to Wii Dance , to swim aerobics at your local leisure centre . you need to find something that gives you a joy response at feeling your own body move . others have mentioned but it ' s worth repeating if you can , try scales that measure body fat percentage rather than just weight . if you ' ve been skiing for a few months now , your thighs and calves are probably building strength . it ' s always good to be armed with the correct data so that if a guilt trip starts , you can point to actual health data points rather than relying on a number that just represents weight . above all , remember that you ' re thirteen and you can go to your school nurse or your family doctor for help if things get bad at home . sometimes parents are able to hear things from an adult professional when they refuse to listen to their own kid . good luck .
