First off, if you're 115 lbs!. you have a REALLY long way to go before you need to worry about your weight!. I weigh about 135 (I'm 5'6") and yeah, sometimes I don't feel so great about my body, but then I see a super-skinny girl with no chest and a pancake-flatt butt, and I'm so grateful for my curves!. I do try to eat right, but I'll admit i don't exercise as much as I should!. There's a trade-off for that "ideal body"- your whole life has to revolve around staying thin!. Would you rather be at the gym on a Friday night, or at the movies eating popcorn and candy, having a great time with your friends!? Besides, looking "perfect" doesn't guarantee a perfect life!. If anything, it only makes you more self-concious, because no matter how hard you try, there will always be someone skinnier, prettier, smarter, etc!.
The best advice I can give you (and this is from personal experience) is to stop thinking about the way you look!. When I was about 18 or 19, I was so obsessed with looking perfect all the time, that I started believing that I had nothing else to offer!. I forgot that I was funny, and smart, and creative, and a really good friend!. The people i cared about stopped wanting to be around me because they thought I was conceited, but really I was just insecure and depressed!. Then, one night I said "Oh, my god! If I ever get up to a size 7, just shoot me!" to my best friend- not thinking about the fact that she was a size 9!. She started crying and refused to talk to me for weeks!. I decided that I had to make a change, so I gave myself only 5 minutes of "mirror time" a day!. I wasn't allowed to be closer than arm's length to a mirror when I was doing my make-up or hair, and every time I saw my reflection in a window I turned my head!. I did this for about a month, and it made such a huge difference!. I stopped thinking "How do i look" and started thinking about how much fun I was having instead!. I found I was more relaxed and happy, and that the people who didn't want to hang out with the old conceited me, were starting to come back around!. I wasn't so concerned with being the "prettiest girl at the party", because I realized that it's better to make other people feel good about themselves!.
Wow, kinda wrote a book there, didn't I!? lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm naturally tall and thin just because that's the gene pool I fell in, and yeah I definitely think about what I eat!! You and me probably both think of our appearances similarly, and I definitely overeat, too, sometimes!. And then I get pissed off at myself for eating too much and get sad!. Then I confide in comfort food because I'm sad and overeat again, lol!.
It's a vicious cycle! I'm "lol-ing" about it, but it can get serious!. But yeah, I would assume most young females think about their weight and appearance a lot, and probably worry about what they eat!. I generally eat pretty healthy, but everybody has their slip-ups and binges!.

I think we all think about aspects of ourselves that we are not happy with!. The problem is, when you spend to much time focusing on them, you miss out on a lot of things in life!. Your young and your body is still changing!. Instead focus on the things you do like about yourself!. Eat healthy and stay active!. Don't obsess in the mirror everyday!. For me, the more I think about issues I'd like to change, the worse those issues become!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
