Chelsea Briggs

Hi!

I'm Chelsea, and I'm in the 7th grade at Abigail Adams Junior High. I take pictures for The Sentinel, and I have even started a picture-taking business in my neighborhood. My project right now is getting healthy, and I'm off to a great start!

Likes:
Photography, TV, hiking, honesty

Pet Peeves:
Name-callers, when people feel sorry for me (I never know how to react, and it can be so awkward!), and when my mom talks about the whole "weight thing."

Dreams:
I want to be a famous photographer to the stars or maybe a wildlife
photographer.

Little Known Fact:
I keep a journal and write all about my feelings and my quest to get healthy!

My Secret:
If I did like a boy, you'd never know who!

Chelsea's Words to Live By:
"I have learned that I am capable of so much more than I thought, and that I can’t let how much I weigh stop me from having a great life!"

Read about Chelsea in book 6, Lake Rescue.

your turn ...

Do you think Chelsea will feel super-healthy with her new diet and exercise plan?

	I think that Chelsea will feel sooo much more confident and happy with herself. I think that kids will stop teasing her because she is now setting an example on how everyone can be healthy. Chelsea is one great character that the BSG rely on to show that life isn't about who has this and how skinny or fat anyone is. It's the inside that counts and matters the most.

	Wild Animal Girl, I don't want to be rude or anything, but I think it's mean u said if people called me fat. It seems like your saying Chelsea's fat, and she definitely isn't. And nobody does call her fat either. It may sound easy to go to a gym or go on a diet for u, but it isn't quite that simple! Please don't imply/say that anymore. Thanks. Happyluckythingylover

ncgirl writes:

	No, well not at first because it is hard to change foods and do something that you really don't want to do. She probably will not be very happy at first but then everything will change. Yes, I think eventually she will feel super-healthy.

	Lake Rescue was a great book! I think Jody was right. I was probably right about my other comment but all i was saying was lose some weight but don't get to over weight or to skinny just stick to your heart and you will know what to do.

	I think chelsea will feel alot better when she gets a little healthier. A girl in my class is kind of overweight. People used to avoid her and look at her funny. Then me and my friend started to get to know her. She turned out to be an awesome person. She is a really good listener and I hope we can be good friends!!!!

Jump_Rope_Ballerina writes:

I think Clelsea will fell way more confident in herself then before. She will learn that it dosn't matter how much you weigh if you are healthy and happy about yourself. As long as she sticks to her commitment and dosn't revolve her life around being skinny, she will feel better than ever. A diet is not about being super skinny. It's more about having fun, doing what you love, and loving yourself the way you are.

bookworm614 writes:

	If it is a healthy diet, I think she will be happy! I know one person who calls me fat all the time, but I just shrug it off because I know that she doesn't eat breakfast, and has a very light lunch. SO there is no reason to get upset. Good luck with your diet! -Bookworm614

Martyroxs005 writes:

Chelsea,
I think it's way cool that you've changed your mind about being healthy and exercise. I have a few (very) overweight people in my school and they don't try at all! EAT, SLEEP, BURP, EAT, EAT, SLEEP!!! I'ts GROSS!!! Don't crash diet though, that so doesn't work. Plus we're to young to diet, people our age just should exercise and eat healthy. Well, all people should do that, but no dieting. Keep going!
PS- I luv photography 2!!!

bookworm47 writes:

Even though Chealsea is slightly rather on the large side, she is still a wonderful student at AAJH. It doesn't matter what size you are. What matters is what kind of person who are on the inside. If Chealsea feels like she wants to lose a little weight (not to make people like her more) but to really just get a little healthier, I think Chealsea will feel even better about herself. But, big or small, it doesn't matter what size she is, her true friends will love her no matter what size she is and Chealsea should just accept the body that God gave her!

	If I were Chelsea I woulden't let what other people think bother me. Because I know what she is going thru. Lots of people make fun of me for being a bit over weight. The point: Diets don't work! Be happy about who you are, remember it's the inside that count's. Not the outside.

I'm thinking it will. I hope I read more about her as I read on in the BSG series! I also hope she keeps in touch with Jody! Chelsea reminded me of that new movie on Lifetime called "Queen Sized". It was good! It premiered for the very first time last night. I can kind of relate to Chelsea in the weight department but I am not over weight, though. I do have some blubber in places that I would like to get rid of eventually but otherwise, I am compltetly fine with the way I am!!!

Chelsea, when it comes to the whole weight loss issue, I know how you feel! There are numerous people at my school who have weight issues, and when I talk to them, they confide in me that it's really hard for them. Some girls are just judged unfairly, because looks aren't important when it comes to picking your friends. What is? The quality and trust that your friend will be able to ensure in you, and the kind of person they are inside. I hate the people who send the message that girls should only look one way, and only have one personality! Girls should be the kind of person they want to be, and it's up to the individual to decide if they want to change their weight. Other people should not try to control your life!
