Okay I am 5' 3" and about 95 pounds, 14 yrs old. I am skinny I know but for some reason I think I'm fat. It is starting to have an affect on what I eat, because lately I've been needing to eat more due to my growth spurt (I'm just now growing). I am really freaked out because I know I'm not fat but I think I am and now I'm eating less than I should and working out more than I should. I am really scared. What should I do??

Sounds like you have the early signs of an eating disorder. Don't get too worried, because you have already dont the first step to recovery and that is realising there is a problem. Now you have two options, if the firswt doesn't work do NOT hesitate to do the 2nd.
1. You can try and overcome it by forcing yourself to eat just as much as usual even if you arre full!(you will probably find it hard. but you have to try)
2. Talk to your mom or dad, chances are they suffered an eating disorder too. They can take you to a doctor if it gets worse!
Good Luck!!

I think you should try to talk to someone about this problem. I think it can be a symptom of an eating disorder. Perhaps talk to your family about the issue or your school counselor. If you are really worried about it perhaps talk to your doctor. The most important thing if it is continuous is to seek help and advice instead of just ignoring it. Hope this helps!

Most ppl r telling u u r not fat...and i agree. But ihav advice...
Find one person you trust completely and tell them how u r feeling. Dont leave anything out. Ask them before if they will hold you accountable. Tell them u want to keep a normal eating routine, and will they help u stick to ur resolution. This is a case of....
Mind Over Matter!
Make sure tht sum1 is sum1 u can tal to daily, who wil not give up on u or abandon u.
Hope this helps, but use ur will power. Try to eat tht litl bit extra, do tht little bit less cardiovascular workout.

You must speak to a parent or school counselor or teacher. You are dealing with a problem called anorexia nervosa and may starve youself into illness or death. Do not delay, dear, you need help now. This can be very difficult to treat. It is not something you will likely outgrow spontaneously.

Oh my gosh...relax sweetie I'm 14 and I know how you feel I get the same feelings, please trust me I threw up purposely but I know it's bad. Just look in the mirror and say out loud the good things you like about you, my friend gave me this advice and it helped so much and if you're still concerned about what you eat then just commit to healthy things.

You're nowhere near fat. Please don't let yourself look like Nicole Ritchie(before pregnancy). Because that's UGLY. you might want to talk to your mother or get some type of professional help. Because if you think that your fat now, wait the next couple more years. You haven't finished growing yet. Remember women are supposed to have curves. Embrace that fact. Men don't want skeletons!!!(LOL)

No your not fat and it's not healthy to diet at your size and age.Try getting over your self absorbed view of yourself on the outside and consider whats on the inside you vain child.
