Dakota Teen Not Skinny Enough to go to Prom
-- News Item!
A South Dakota teen has found herself too
overweight to attend the prom, sources learned earlier today. Stacey, a former
snow queen contestant is worried about her figure lately, and has been trying to
lower her body weight through a combination of low carbohydrate dieting and a
strenuous running routine.
"I do
cheerleading at school too, so my legs are more muscular than I like" reported
Stacey, who did not give permission to have her story published, "and I have
been over heating really easily lately... is it warm in
here?"
Stacey lives in a very small
town, and the availability of eligible prom dates is low. Only by shedding some
extra pounds can Stacey overcome this problem. "I am 5'6" right now, and my mom
has a sheet that says I should weigh about 135, and I want to be on the lower
end of that" mused Stacey.
Stacey's
parents are a little worried about their daughter's behavior. "Our baby knows
that we lover her no matter what, we want her to have a great time at the prom,"
said Stacey's father, "and it wouldn't hurt her to be a little thinner," added
Stacey's mother.
