Weight Loss Blog
The Weight Loss Blog offers news and information about nutrition and fitness as well as actual weight loss success stories as told by students at Wellspring Academies, formerly Academy of the Sierras, the first boarding school for overweight teens. WSA is part of Wellspring, which also runs Wellspring weight loss camps.
The Blog started with entries by 15-year-old Jahcobie who graduated from WSA after losing 176 pounds in seven months. Then Brooke, a 17-year-old from Prescott, Arizona, took over. Our latest student blogger was Melissa, a 17-year-old from Orange County, California. Melissa recently graduated and we wish her success and she continues down her path as a "long-term weight controller."
Andy D. a 17-year-old student at Wellspring Academy spent a few months sharing his adventures in weight loss, healthy eating, and fitness fun with us before he graduated the program in June.
Now we'll continue to update you with news and information about weight lose, healthy living, and childhood obesity. We'll have a new WSA student share their stories with us beginning in the Fall.
Wellspring programs are the most effective weight loss solutions for teens available today. But don't let us tell you. Let Andy, Melissa, Brooke, and Jahcobie tell you. Read about their journeys toward successful weight management in their own words.

Restoring Your Faith in People
Why is trust such a big issue for me? I think it has something to do with the bull that has been thrown my way throughout my lifetime. I think that I don't trust easy because it seems like every time I try and trust someone they go behind my back and break it. It makes me feel like crap when I feel like I don't have anyone to trust. Trust is a major issue and something that lots of people take for granted. I know with me if I can't trust someone then I can't be friends with them. That is a must have in any relationship or friendship I choose to take part in.
Well, today we are going to talk about making the decision to trust. Through many years I have gained experience in taking chances. I tend to take chances when no one else will. I guess it means that I'm setting myself up for failure. I know that when you trust someone you are allowing yourself to be vulnerable and you're emotions are not guarded. If you can't handle failure and are let down, one after the other, then you tend to develop a trust issue like I have. That's why when you want to trust someone you let them know from the start that this is what they're dealing with and they can either take it or leave it. I am happy that I have overcome my trust issue and am now dealing with restoring my faith in people. It doesn't feel so good to be alone in a world like the one I was in. I am happy that I have broken in to this discomfort and helped speed up the process.
