Hon,
You are a unique person and no else in the world is you. Don't compare yourself to your classmates. They don't have your genes, it's just not a fair comparison.
First, be proud that you overcame bulemia. That is a huge accomplishment. You should be proud of yourself.
Have you talked to any professionals regarding your concerns about your weight? Maybe your parents can take you to a doctor who will let you know if your weight is fine for your height (not age).
Please be sure that you are not skipping meals. This will actually do more harm than good as it will slow your metabolism.
Make sure you are eating lots of vegetables, lean protein (chicken and fish), and whole grains. Try to avoid fried foods and sugar.
Don't be hard on yourself. we are often our own worst critics. Start lifting yourself up and recognizing your qualities :-}

This is normal, at this stage, just keep eating healthy and exercising. During this time in your life you are still going through puberty, which means there will be many hormonal changes and having some extra weight is completely normal during this time. Actually, the best exercise to do right now would be to walk 20 minutes a day, eating plenty of green leafy vegetables will help regulate the hormones, drinking 8 glasses of water a day and at least 4 servings of milk (this includes cheese) a day will help to regulate the body's ability to burn the extra hormones being produced at this time. This may surprise people but some hormones make a person gain weight, usually during puberty.

13 and 130 pounds? You're just FINE, it's healthier to be a few pounds (and at your age at 130, I do mean just a few pounds) overweight than to look like a beanpole like Paris Hilton. That just ain't healthy. In my opinion, all you gotta work on is maintaining that 130...unless you're under 5'1, then I'd look into losing a little. BUT....at 13, your body is still requiring heavy major nutrients, don't deprive yourself of that in this stage of your life or you'll regret it when you get older.
