Hi im 15 and I liked to think of my self as a sensible kid but my entire life i've had this gut that im sickened by. And I have always felt like my life won't begin until I get this dream body...it all starts with self confidence right?

Im only maybe 15 pounds overweight...but even if I follow all directions what's going to happen when I stop taking them? will the weight come back even if I STILL continue to diet (as I have been for several weeks now) Will it stunt my growth? Or mess up my period?

Please help me... I don't want to be that girl at her prom some day who has to suck in her stomach...I don't want any regrets...I don't want to keep my life on hold any longer.

All you need to to is change your diet, drink water and excersize. Stay away from the diet pills - there is no "wonderpill" out there that is going to just "make it go away".
