It is really starting to piss me off; people say they would kill for my body, and they give me dirty looks when I say I want to lose weight. I am 5'4" and 118 pounds (I usually weigh about 112 but I gained some weight this month due to overeating because of stress) I even felt fat at 112. I don't know what to do, it's as if I will never be happy with my body no matter what!! I want to weigh like 105, I think I would be happy with that. I feel like no one really understands me; I truly feel fat and no one will listen to me and they all think I am just fishing for compliments when I really just honestly think I am fat. What am I supposed to do about that? My eating habits are totally unhealthy; I either starve myself or binge every day, there is no healthy medium. What should I do? I don't want to talk to a counselor. Help!

At 5'4" and 118, you are at the mid-low weight for healthy. If others say that they would kill for your body, believe them. You are often not the best judge of your appearance as you know every tiny "fault" and can blow them up (even if they are noticeable only when you point them out and provide a magnifier for the other person to be able to see them). Unfortunately, if you do make the mistake of reaching 105 lbs (and lose your boobs in the process), you run the risk of wanting 100 lbs.

Being anorexic and bulimic are psychological issues, and can administration your existence. At a youthful age of 17 and weighing 113 pounds and 5'9'', you're truly seen under weight, and a surgeon could truly propose you benefit some pounds, the two from muscle or fat. And me asserting this does not propose that the fat you should benefit is all undesirable and crammed with cellulite, it basically skill that, that little volume of weight will help your average being. And the reason anybody isn't asserting that your skinny particularly as plenty, is by using the fact they understand your skinny, and sense that considering the fact which you're 17, one 365 days faraway from being an person, which you do no longer want others compliment and ideas of what others think of approximately you. keep in mind the only individual you should delight is the guy you spot contained in the reflect.

totally feel for you. The same with me. There might be extra bits of fat that only you can see. And your height, your weight, and your BMI cant pin point that out. I have a similar condition to you and everybody says im thin when i actually have pounds of fat to lose! When i used to think about dieting, i used to either eat very very little or binge a lot!!! and trust me it never worked. Then i just forgot about dieting for 2 weeks... and suprisingly didnt put on much weight at all! So i figured out the best way to lose weight and stay happy at the same time is to eat a healthy, normal, balanced diet. And just have an active mind, active lifestyle and workout moderately. Dont deprive yourself coz that doesnt work!!! I am actually begining to see good results... and hope you will get over this phase too.
Good luck

Sounds like you have a body image problem and you are one extreme or the other. Learn how to just eat normal healthy meals every day and it will help you feel better inside. Exercise and healthy foods really do work; once you start noticing a change in your body at a healthy weight you won't be as obsessed with your body image :) I think your weight if fine as it is

I have the same issue and I don't know what to do either! I run cross country for my school though so that kind of takes my mind off it. I still constantly think about it tho and it drives me nuts! My advice is to join something or try a hobby to distract yourself a little from it. Good luck!

You are discussing 4 lbs! I took a 4 pound crap this morning. Get a hobby to give your mind something better to think about.
