Health - 24 June 2006

I am 14 years old, and currently in the modeling business. I have a LOT of people in my family, and only 1 person in my family out of around 70 is nice and skinny. The problem is, is i love junk food and i'm only 14 so its not like i can go to a gym or work out. I cant think of much ways to keep myself skinny. im 5'6 and nice and skinny now, but im afraid i'll get fatter and will totally lose my modeling career! can someone please tell me how i can make sure keep the excess weight off?!
((And i've read yahoo answers before, and there are a lot of people out there who think theyre funny and answer with smart remarks, so if youre one of them, please just dont answer at all!))

Here's the deal.. my brother recently got ringworm. I set about disinfecting all of the hard surfaces and washing the laundry, but then I realized I didn't know how to disinfect any of the soft surfaces, like my couch, chairs, or beds. I went to the store, but didn't see anything for it. I have been using Clorox spray on them, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing because it is for hard surfaces. Can anyone recommend something else, or is the Clorox spray safe to use on them?
