Let me spell it out for you I'm F.A.T

[Yehudis13]

Im 13 years old and I'm 94 pounds. I'm a bit on the shorter side, but When I bend over, I have fat coming on the sides of my stomach, and my face sorta has a double chin. I lost 7 pounds since the summer, and my mother thinks I'm getting getting aneorexic. Even after she saw my stomach, she still said she was worried about me, because she had eating disorders as well, and she doesn't want me to go through the same teen years as me. I know I'm fat though, and I was just wondering what you guys think. :s

[Skyhawk]

Well, do you think anorexia is the answer? I'm sure your mother can tell you all about that. :P

If you think you are fat, then what about a healthy diet? (no I don't mean eat a cracker a day). What kinds of food do you eat daily?

[User_Does Not Exist]

Yes, you make me sick. People like you who complain about being fat....let me sum something up here...

I am 5'10 and 225, that's fat. Now I don't go around all day saying to myself that I'm fat, I work on it, but I don't continuily put myself down. I'm working on it, but I don't hate on myself.

You're not fat. You obviously haven't seen a real "fat" person.

I kind of agree with you there.
I'm 15, 5'5 and 130 lbs. If you're fat I'm fucking obese, and I already have body image issues.

However, it's definitely not okay to be so inconsiderate towards someone who obviously has really low self-esteem and probably doesn't apprecialte being bashed.
Sweetie, looks are a part of who we are, but they're not all of it. You have a brain, a sense of humor, music taste. Focus on all the other things about you instead of obsessing over your weight.

[Desuetude]

Hey, im 14, 5"4' and 96lb, i hate my weight, way to skinny. I know people probably think im trolling as who wouldn't want to be my weight right? Well i dont. Ive been bullied for being stick thin all my life, i cant put on wight and whatnot, just doesnt work.
What im saying is that you are not fat. Love you for who you are, don't try and change yourself because you think you need a certain body image. Like Alex above me said, focus on other things that you do like about yourself. But i just wanted to let you know that someone that is only a few pounds heavier than you finds herself to skinny, you don't have to obsess about your weight like that, that is perfect for you. Stop putting yourself down about it, it's not worth you being upset about, honestly.
Your mum is worried about you because you want to become skinnier than you are when really you can already see every protruding bone, ribs, collar bone (i know). You dont need to change, become thinner or you will get seriously ill. I know most of the people that comment on this will have ahd expericance with anorexia or an ED but i wanted to give you another point of view and opinion to think over. Please just think about what you are doing to yourself.

I'm not really hungry throughout the day, but I drink up to eight bottles of water a day, because my throat is constantly dry. If I'm hungry, I eat a pear or an apple

I know that I am way too skinny, but I still have this feeling inside of my head saying I'm too fat, or that I'm not good enough for the world. Those feelings overpower the others, and I am left feeling disgusted at myself.

You obviously don't really understand eating disorders/body image issues... If you don't have anything constructive to say, please don't say anything at all.

I can't tell you whether or not you have an eating disorder, but your thought processes sound like you could be heading towards it. Your mum obviously knows about this kind of thing, and I'm sure she'd be very understanding. I think it'd be a good idea to talk to her properly about it, and be completely honest with her. If she's had eating disorders herself, she won't get angry or judge you or anything, she'll be supportive.

Thanks for sticking up for me :). I am not really sure what is happening to me. I know I have a problem but I don't want to admit it. I will try to talk to my mom, and hopefully she will help me. I'm just scared she will get mad, and I'll lose my friendship with her, which is very strong, becausenimdont have much girlfriends

If she's had an eating disorder, she won't get mad, and you won't lose your friendship with her. My mum had the same problems that I've had over the last few years, and I didn't tell her for the same reasons, but when she found out, she wasn't angry at all. She was upset, yeah, because she knew what it was like and didn't want me to have to go through it too, but she wasn't angry, she was glad that she knew now. One of the main reasons she was upset eas because I didn't tell her about it. That always seems to be why parents get upset, because they want their kids to be able to tell them anything.

It'll probably mean a lot to her that you feel comfortable enough to tell her about it. Plus, you'll get support. Everyone needs a bit of support, and it'd better when it's from your own parents, especially if they know how you feel.

I'm always here if you need someone to talk to, just drop me a PM :hug3:

[Eclipsical]

you're overthinking it...anything under 100 is definitely NOT fat..

But when you say shorter side, are you saying 5' or midget status.

Either way. Anorexia is sooo bad in several ways.

Thanks for the help you have given me so far. I'm trying to take it into account, but it's hard to face my mother. She lashed out the other day, and I did some bad stuff, so I'm not really in a good place with her now.

5"2

I can't help it. When I look in the mirror, I see a fat girl.

I'm sorry you think this.

I know this is gonna sound lame, but I'm gonna tell you my weight. I'm 14, I am 5 feet tall and 3 inches, and I weigh 115 pounds. I never thought this was that bad. Maybe I should go on a diet....

Anyway, do you think that your mom would ever want you to do this?

I think you just need to sit down, and have a nice talk with your mom.

I can't. Really bad things happened last night, and I'm not ready to talk to my mom. I still have scars. Physically and emotionally.

[Jupiter]

It does take time. Maybe not tonight. Maybe not next week. Maybe not this month, or the next. You just do need to sit down, and tell her how you really feel.

How I feel about what? She knows that I think I'm fat, but she doesn't know my weight because I wear baggy clothing.

[Jupiter]

But I don't see how you are fat, no offense. But, 94 pounds really isn't a lot.

I know no matter how much I tell you this, you won't realize this, but you really aren't fat. You just need to talk to someone. That's all I have to say about that.

I know you think I'm not fat, and maybe a small voice is telling me that too, but I see what I see, and even though looks can be deceiving, I am ignoring that.

[Jupiter]

Ahhhhh, I see.

A small voice is telling you, "No, you aren't fat."

That's a good conscience there. I envy that. You know something is holding you back, even a little.

I just am looking for ways to ridicule myself and I have found that way. I am starving myself right now, and I realize that, but I will continue because I hate myself and I want to die. I know if you repeat something over and over to yourself, it becomes true to you. When I was eating abused, I told myself multiple times, that they were just dreams, and they weren't real, and I believed myself to a point when the social worker in the school asked me if everything at no,e was Ok. I was able to say yes confidently.

[Amaryllis]

It feels like you're fat now but believe me when I say thinking that way about yourself will only make matters worse and perhaps make you put on more weight.

Eating disorders are horrible, life-eating things. And I know I worry about my friends and mother having eating disorders as well. It's a horrible gift/curse some people who've been through hardships (especially EDs) tend to develop - a fierce desire to make sure no one else has to go through what we did.

I didn't know I'd develop an eating disorder. I didn't know I had one. I just wanted to lose a -little bit of weight-, just some fat on my tummy, a little on my face. Next thing I know I'm a shell of a person and dying on a bed while nurses stick needles in me over and over and over because I'm so sick and my blood so thin, my veins don't show at all.

Once you develop an eating disorder, it's like you're stuck on this never-ending escalator that's running down while you're trying to go up. Food becomes a sick addiction, the only part you can control or the only thing you can fill the emptiness with.

I've never liked myself and to be honest, I still don't. But I never, ever hated the world as much as I did when I was battling anorexia.

Talk to your mother. Get help before you're too far in to turn back. Learn to cope, because I never did.

You sound like you had it pretty bad. I don't want to go that far, but I just hate myself. My figure, my looks, and my everything.
