You are not fat at all. You are perfect they only thing you might want to gain is self esteem. All girls think they are fat and go through this phase. You definatly arent.

According to the reading I have done regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), the brain, when it senses that blood sugar is low, will do sometimes strange things to get the blood sugar (glucose) out of storage and into the blood stream. If that does not happen, the brain may send signals out to slow you down. Feeling fat despite reality may be one of those ways.
Suggestion? Start eating small meals 6 times a day, starting with breakfast. Make sure each meal has some protein, meat, a can of tuna (salmon is better), eggs or whatever. Also have some carbohydrate, like an apple, or some carrots/celery, and also some nuts or peanut butter. Eat 2 - 3 ounces of the protein at breakfast, lunch and dinner anda at least 1-2 ounces of protein at each in between meal stanck. Then drink a glass of water and do something else for 30 minutes. You may find you don't worry about being fat or thin anymore.
Chronic low blood sugar can also cause self-esteem problems, anger management problems and a whole bunch of other physical and mental nasties. You may want to check out the symptoms link on www.hufa.org, and see how you check out.

First of all, you have an absolutely gorgeous body! You dont appear to be disgustingly skinny but you are definitely not even close to being even a smidge overweight. I would say you are very healthy and attractive.
If you feel fat then you feel fat. I have days where I feel more attractive than other days. But you might want to seek counseling because if you are feeling this way all the time it may lead to unhealthy actions which could produce a life threatening condition.

you are not fat!
okay i dont have enough details to say anything else...eg. whether you are anorexic or not, because underweight is not same as anorexic. but you are definitely NOT fat.
I do know for a fact that anorexic people usually think they are fat even though they are not...but that doesnt necessarily make you anorexic: ("Individuals with anorexia often control body weight by voluntary starvation, purging, vomiting, excessive exercise, or other weight control measures, such as diet pills or diuretic drugs"- wikipedia) Anorexia can be scary. You're not fat so dont worry too much ok!
Take care!

OK how to say this... you are still young let me see. Anorexia is not a term to just say because someone is skinny. Your friends and you need to stay in school. You look fine focus more on eating healthy more than minimizing your size. You are like most teenagers that have body issues you look fine, get a better hair color eat well and love yourself

Your friends are right! You are slender and look like a good dancer. You probably look great, naked, too. Being thin and thinking oneself to be fat, is the most obvious indication of anorexia. You need help, to overcome the anoriexic problem. Maybe even a great loving relationship.

Body image is something we all are too conscious of, if your close friends or best friends think that you are not fat and you trust their judgement, then you are probably not fat. To be considered anorexic, you have to have an unhealth and distorted body image, and constantly starve yourself to the point of starvation.

You are not fat. At all. You weigh less than many of the 6th graders at my school. Get help or counseling. You could die by starvation or suprisingly a heart attack. Tell a parent or someone now and get help. Immediatly. I wish you luck!
