At 13, 5'3, and 123 pounds, I'm a pretty typical teenager. I worry about my hair, clothing, and weight constantly. Here's where I'm different. Since this month, for breakfast and lunch I've been eating a think thin health bar and then I'll have regular dinner. At school, I'm afraid people will call me anorexic, because of what I eat, yet I'm also afraid they'll call me fat if I eat normal lunches. My friends tell me I'm fine, but I'm afraid to gain weight. I'm also afraid that boys won't like me because I worry so much about calories and weight. I'm afraid of myself and I just want to accept myself. Please help...

u r OK the way you are
you are fine
do you know that many many many girls worry about this exaclty like you? I request that you start asking girls questions about food and thier bodies - it might be tough but will you ask them?
what you are experiencing is the human mind doing what it does
- the brain is always thinking up funy ways to make us nervous and worry and ....nutso all 8 billion of us!
share with people how it is for you and ask them how it is for them
put it from a monologue in your head to many dialogs out there with others normal like you i you will be amazed what will open up for you if you put those thoughts on loudspeaker with many people.....
you are doing really great!

This could be a case of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). This is a mental condition in which you worry so much about your physical flaws that you can barely get through the day. I recommend that you seek counseling immediately.
