u shouldnt hate ur body and if it's about the guy you like he should like you for who you are not by what you look like and if he doesnt he doesnt know what hes missin because im sure you have a lot to offer than your body plus theres prob sum1 out there thats perfect for you
trust me i use to h8 my body too but after meeting the right guy i found out its not about looks at all

You shouldn't hate your body. Every girl's body is different and beautiful. It's natural to feel self critical of your body. I'm still a teenager, so I know exactly what you've gone through [I'm still going through it too] ! I lost 10 pounds in the past few months though, by running on the treadmill, and using a cross trainer. [I became a member of my family's gym]. If those machines aren't accessible to you, then go out for a jog daily with friends, and buy an at home Yoga DVD, and faithfully watch it and do the exercises every day. Yoga is a great exercise to tone your body! Also, if you have a lot of empty calories daily, dump them from your diet [i.e. Chips, Soda, Chocolate]. Nobody's telling you never to splurge, but do it occasionally. I know it's hard when there's so much food around, but test your resolution!
As for the guy, go up and talk to him, and be yourself. If he's a nice guy, he'll like you for who you are, and your body won't really matter. I'm not going to say physical appearance doesn't matter. His first impression of you is going to be physical, like it or not. Initially a girl's appearance is what turns a guy on or off (I know, guys are jerkoffs), but their opinion can quickly change if the girl has a nice personality. You could wait until your body's toned and talk to him, but I think that'd definitely be the wrong thing to do. I'd go up and talk to him as you are now [ which I'm sure isn't half bad ! ] If he only likes you for what you look like, he's a shallow and superficial jerk who's not worth your time or affections.
Don't feel bad and think your friends are skinnier // prettier than you. I"m sure it may seem that way, but I'm sure you're just as goodlooking as all of your friends!
Hope I helped.

If you are overweight, just go running or swimming or something active. Fitness is probably the 2nd most important thing in your life right now...the 1st being learning your schoolwork. You're 12, and even though you hate your body now...you're 12!!! What does that mean? That means that you have only started to really hit puberty. You will get taller, your boobs will get bigger and nicer, you'll thin out and you butt will get cute. Boys will come and go as quickly and irritatingly as zits. Have confidence in yourself. The MEN that will make all the difference in your life will appreciate YOU as a person more than what you "think" you look like. The mental image you have of yourself is probably different than how other people see you. Email me or IM me if you want a real guys opinion.
Cheers!
Just read your updated details...you're on the right track. keep up the good work and hotties will flock.

When your 12 years old, or anywhere in your teen years, it's very normal to feel like that. I'm in the same situation, but I've learned to love myself. If you really have a crush on a boy, ask him out, or get a friend to drop him hints. What's the worst that could happen besides him saying no? There's plenty of guys out there, he's not the only one. You'll have your moments some days, but other days may be harder to get through. You can talk to your mom or your dad, or a student conselor, (I don't know how to spell that.) Remember, everything you have is a Gift from God, don't waste it or hate it. Love it for what it really is.
-Good luck!

Just be yourself, and act natural. If he likes you for you, he really could care less about what you look like. However, if your weight is really getting to you, just shed a few pounds by exercising and eating right. As of right now, just use what you got. Don't dress sassy or in small clothes, dress comfortably and wear whatever kind of clothes look best on you.
By the way, I love this quote, just incase you are ever feeling down in the dumps, lol: "No guy is worth your tears, and the one that is won't make you cry."

You are 12. You still have a long way to go. You will come across lots of boys in your school years. If u dont like your body start exercising. What kind of activities do you like? Swimming? Tennis? Baseball? etc. Take up an activity and stop eating fatty foods. About this boy, go and talk to him and check out his behaviour. Does he seem interested? Does he come and talk to you? If not then try to forget him and be yourself. Stop comparing yourself with your friends. Your special in your own way!:)

You body will change as you get older and hit puberty. We are all awkard at that age. Don't diet at your age, but do try to eat a lot of fruit and veggies and cut back on sweets and sodas. Try to find something you like to do for exercise with friends.
Not sure about the boy situation. Just be yourself. You don't need to date until you are older.

I'm sure you probably don't want to hear this but, you should not worry about your body right now and if you're getting the boys. Worry about it when you're older. They all have the boys now but if you're smart you will worry about you're future first and then the "boy" you're supposed to be with will come later. Oh and if a boy is only concerned about what you look like then he isn't worth your time anyway.

Take this from someone close to your age...YOUR BODY WILL CHANGE! you may hate it right now, but someday guys are gonna come around and start hitting on you and then you might just wanna go back to when they were hitting on your friends.
Just relax and learn to accept the way you look. Besides, i have brothers, and they say that skinny girls aren't so attractive. They like girls with some meat on their bones :)

be a healthy person. that is soo important. it doesnt matter if your body isnt perfect NOW. what you need to do, is not sit on your butt all day in front of the computer and get out and do something. Not to mention ditch the chips and chocolate. i PROMISE by the time your 16 you'll be the hottest girl. All you need to do is get into healthy habits when your younger....
