text: control.....key word.  i've been struggling for many, many years with the same issue.  at 16 i thought i was overweight. i wasn't. i am now though.  i lost control. \nif a doctor hasn't found a medical condition, than you must have faith in yourself.   talk to the person in the mirror and tell her that you are there to take over.  be strong for her and you'll be surprised how good it will make you feel to help her conquer the struggle together.\neat right and get up and move something, or somewhere.  walk or run two steps, five steps, ten.  it will improve each day.  don't set yourself with a time limit.  it didn't get there that quick and it won't go away that quick either.  if you watch t.v., stop and do something else.  the people on t.v. aren't just sitting there, are they?   \ndo it for YOU.
