I Hate it!

[silverblue]

Okay, I know for a thing that I dont have a eating disorder, but lately, i've been struggling. I've always been thin. Not just skinny, but stones lower than everyone else, everyone that are slim!

I get bullied, sometimes playfully, someties cruelly. I hate it, and i want it to stop! I still feel uncomfortable in myself, when i look down in the mirror, i see a pot belly, no boobs and spammy legs.

I eat alright I guess, but i never FULLY finish my plate. i always chuck a little bit in the bin or compost it. Sometimes, at school, Im just not hungry, and when a friend asks "Why aren't you eating?" I'll have to say, "Im not hungry"

I do eat food, and hardly ever skip, but I dont know how to change the way I look. Im scared of the scales, anyone peering over at the gym to say "God, isnt she a STICK"

I dont want to look like this.

Remember, your body needs food in order to live so just try to eat. You could try speaking to teachers or parents about the bullying and the parents definetely for the eating disorder; they can help. Don't eat lots of fatty food though. Try to eat a lot of good food that doesn't fill you up too much and tell yourself that you are doing yourself a good turn. Remember, the average woman (aged 18+, you may need to take this with a pinch of salt) needs about 2000 calories a day so rememebr to eat. If you are egtting too full, try waiting for a while or keeping the food with you and eating it later. I know that you can do this and I wish you luck.

Yes i agree with the above view point
you should start eating food
not just any food but healthy and proper food containing a right balance of proteins and fiber.........

I went through this too, and I know exactly how you feel. People don't think it's hurtful to pick on someone for being skinny, but it's the same as making fun of someone for being fat. I always especially hated being accused of having eating disorders and starving myself. I tend to feel like people are actually more malicious when they say these things about someone being too thin.

The fact is, as long as you're taking care of your body and eating as best you can and your weight has been staying around the same, then you really don't have anything to worry about. I was very concerned when I was finding that every chart said I was "severely underweight," but when I asked my doctor about it, he said those numbers are just averages. I have a considerably smaller body frame than the average, which I'm thinking is the case with you too, so that would be a lot of extra weight on me.

I know it's easier said than done, but don't worry about other people telling you to eat something and that you're too thin. As long as you know you're eating properly and taking care of yourself, that's what's important. And I get the body insecurities too, I still wish I had more curves, but try to learn to love yourself the way you are. Look at yourself in the mirror and try to pick out the things you like about yourself rather than what you don't like. You may want to consider weight training as well as the healthy diet; once I started lifting and toning all my lean muscles, that's when I really started to love my body. And remember, there's nothing bad about long, thin legs. ;)

if your concerned about your body, you should talk to your GP about it and he/she can put you on a diet to make you gain weight, but you have to eat 3 meals a day, and eating just crap doesnt make you put on weight, alot of people mistake this fact, they eat loads of crap and no healthy foods to put on weight, but all it does it ruin there teeth.. you need a healthy balanced diet..

I'm naturally thin too. And I see the exact same thing when I look down, and I was bullied because of it. The bullying stopped sometime near the end of my second year at high school. But i'd had it all the way through primary. I just forced myself to hold it out, although that never helped with how I felt in general.
If you're naturally thin, then nothing much will change how you look, just keep eating healthy and when somebody starts at you because of you're weight, just let it go. I know its hard to ignore, but aslong as your healthy it dosent matter what everyone else says. You look how you look and nothing that they say that you let get to you will change that. Learn to love how you look, so what you're thin. Remember you are who you are, and how you look dosent change who you are.

im the same way. eat healthy food. only healthy food.

If you get bullied, say "i just have a super high metabolism. at least im not fat!" that usually works.
