Why am I so self-concious about my weight?!
Question: I'm thirteen, 5'5", and 95 lbs. People at school say I'm really thin, but I feel like I'm not thin enough. I freak myself out saying that, too. I'm always bloated so I look like I have a huge gut, but if I lost just one pound I would be underweight.
I don't want to feel like that, but sometimes when I look in the mirror I really really hate everything I see. Do I have a mental disorder or something? Also, could I be bloated from eating too much?

Honey, what you are going through, most girls your age also go though, actually I think it is safe to say that almost all girls your age go through it, as hard as it is to believe as it may be. Also, you should know that based on your height your "ideal" weight would be 125 lbs., and that is 30 more lbs. then you currently are. That's really worrisome, because you have gone into anorexic territory. Please, you need to gain weight, not to say you should go and stuff your face with food, do it gradually, the healthy way, with healthy fats, and larger portion sizes. I hope everything works out for you, and although all that really matters is that you yourself are happy with your body, remember that boys like curves, and they like secure people, and I'm sure you have enough reasons to be secure with yourself, so try and love our body as much as you should. Good luck : ).
dude yes u are fine

and trust me guys, or girls who u thin kmit ebe judging u arent

sound like your being paranoid. your fine. just continue to stay healthy and know that your a good person.
your underweight. you shouldn't be that small!
you may have a disorder, you need to talk to a parent or doctor about this.
go here its almost like a doctor. the key is to the left of it.

because you're a human
i've suffered with that stuff for the past few years. yep, you're very very thin. and probably unhealthy girly.
think of how much happier you'll be if you just think of yourself as beautiful even if you don't believe it now. think of how much you want to have womanly curves.
in the grand scheme of life, it all comes down between you and God. is an eating disorder worth it? nah. screw satan for trying to screw up your priorities. because i know you probably think about that "gut" more than ya think about that cool guy that gave us a planet and a beautiful body to live in.
no matter how much weight you loose, you'll never be able to see yourself as "perfect" so try and love yourself as you are now. because it'll never get easier unless you do.
