My family has always said that i am fat and recently a guy classmate said i was fat. I am proud of myself from becoming a 130 to 118 from 6th grade but its just depressing when people put me down. It makes me want to stop trying and give up. Also i had relationship problems with my bf and he used to flirt with this pretty skinny girl. now whenever i see her i feel obese and ugly. She is always so happy but she has made me lose my self esteem. because i am quiet sometimes my friends parents or strangers have thought i was conceited??o.0 its really weird but im completely the opposite of self confident. i also want to find a way to halp me gain esteem back. help please :]

Why, why, why......do you girls obsess about your appearance.
I know why, but I have to ask. Our culture is so focused on appearance, it is sickening.
I have a niece who is absolutely beautiful, but she fights anorexia, and I don't know why.
What has caused us as a society to substitute contentment with vain conceit?
5'2, 118 sounds very healthy and attractive to me.
Please, please do not get caught up in a vanity war with your "peers", I say that loosly, since I doubt any of them would go down in flames for you.
Love the person you see in the mirror, thank God for that person, and know that God does not make mistakes.
At 15, focus on having fun, making friends, ( good healthy ones, not the ones you are describing ) and enjoying your youth.

Heres some advice that many girls dont know..
If you starve your self the first thing your body does when it gets food is turn it into fat because it thinks you arent going to feed it for a long time so it stores it. By eating 3 small meals a day and doing just 100 crunches or jogging for only 10 minutes a day you can lose a ton of weight. Im sure you are still very pretty no matter what. But almost everyone has weight issues. Good Luck hun!

No, your weight is really good. You don't need to worry about your weight, because it's absolutely fine and those skinny girls are just jealous, ignore them. If you think you might be developing an eating disorder, please speak to your doctor, maybe some counselling will help. Some people are predisposed to eating disoders and something as trivial as an idiot calling you fat (when you are not) is all it takes to trigger it. Please don't let it affect your life, it's not a fun road to go down, I've been there and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. I hope you feel better soon and well done for losing the weight, but even at 130lb, you weren't overweight. Some people are just plain mean for no reason, you have to act like it doesn't bother you or they will just keep doing. Take care : )

I'm in the same boat. I'm 5'1" and 130 pounds. I always felt a tremendous pressure in highschool but now that I'm in college, it doesn't seem to matter. Take my advice, do NOT change yourself to please someone else no matter what. If they leave you, you'll find yourself feeling worse off than you were in the first place. If your boyfriend cannot accept the way you look, he's not worth it. I was bulimic for a while at the age of 14 and I found that it did not help. It only made me feel sick at the thought of food. I reverted to it a few weeks ago and I had a horrible guilty conscience until I admitted it to my boyfriend. Eating disorders are not worth it. If you really want to lose weight for yourself, do it the healthy way! Grab a diet buddy, join the gym and shed a few pounds. Your body will love you for it, trust me. ;)

If you don;t feel good do something about it. If you feel like you are not at your best physical ability then start changing your diet. Exercise and drink alot of water. No-one should dictate what you should look like but you need to be happy and confident and comfortable in your own skin. Whatever makes you happy is the key. if you are happy at your current weight, don;t change, you are not obese. If you are not happy, then take action. Eating disorders causes alot of harmful effects on your short and long term health so dont take that option. Be smart and be realistic.

I don't think you have to worry, if you really want to do something ask your boyfriend if you guys can do something active together. Like playing tennis, walk every day a long distance, something that both of you can enjoy.
I suppose that he likes you so stuff the skinnies!!

Oh my god. You are not fat. Get over it. Girls will always judge. They don't like girls who are thinner or younger or blonde or pretty or dating some guy they want or rich or happy. Be happy and appreciate your boyfriend because he's the one who matters not those girls. Is he complaining? If he's complaining he's not worth it.
