Well, firstly, I would check if you are medically overweight/underweight/normal. There are countless charts, calculators and such online and they all produce different results. I'm sure your dance teacher would be able to tell you for sure. Until then don't make yourself commit to any diet/plan until then. If you feel like this could be a problem, as in becoming an eating disorder, I would recommend you seek psychological help ASAP.
We are all here for you okay? :hug:

I forgot to add this . Ever soce second grade , I've been counting calories and sucking in my stomach to make myself look thin . I always dreaded weighing myself and I even try going long periods of time without eating . I always feel like I'm gaining so much weight and I can't stop myself . Any advice ?
Ok but I don't know how much I weigh and i only guess my weight . Since there are so many weight charts, I try to lower my calorie intake and even calculate my calories but I'm not sure if im healthy or not .

The underlined part stuck out to me. I think this could be developing into a problem. Mind you I'm not too knowledgeable on eating disorders, and I mightn't be the best help, but I'll try all the same. I think that this might be best served by seeking professional help. This could continue to progress to a point where it could get serious and endangering, and best not let that happen.

You said "I can't stop myself". That makes it seem like it's out of control. If that's the case then you really should seek professional help.

my suggestion is to find a scale, weigh yourself. and then tell us your height. because like in my case, i'm fluffy for my height, but that's cuz i'm really short, and i'm big boned. but if you are short and over like... lets say 150, thats perfectly normal. and if you're short and you weigh under 120 you should eat a little bit more. and for the record, parents always say you eat to much. Its really stupid to say that, but they do anyways. so don't worry about your parents. and like Hank Scorpio said, your dance teacher would have said something. -hugs- i hope you get better :)

Yeah , my parents always say , "why do you eat so much ?" and I day I'm fat , and then they tell me do stop eating so much like it's so easy . My parents are a lot older than me , and sometimes I think they don't understand . Anyone else feel like this ?

matbe you are stressed, or eating intill you are full or in big amounts. Your troubles will go away if you have someone to help you through it. Someone like a doctor, parent, or psychiatrist, or psychichologist to help you through your situation.
