    Okay my friends or so called "best friends" are calling me anorexic just because i care about how much i weigh "too much." im 13 years old 5 2 or somthing and i weigh 100 pounds and i think its a lil bit too much. i would much rather want to be 95 or lower and thats my goal to go to the gym and cut out on junk food. Well my friends keep on annoying me and calling me anorexic and wont leave me alone they keep on lecturing me and stuff. I care about my weight SO WHAT i want o be skinny. And stay skinny not be a fat whale. And they say im offending them and making them feel fat which i dont think i am. Anyways what should i do? i want to deal with my weight issues alone AFTER i get skinnier.

    Well, first thing's first.
    your friends obviously care about you, honey. they just want to see you happy and healthy and alive and well.

    you're not a fat whale if you're 5 2 and 100 pounds. that's actually pretty healthy...that's about where i'm at, and i'm pretty much a twig. lol.

    my advice to you is cut junk food, excersize with a friend ((that way you don't overdo it)) and aim for being healthy, NOT skinny.

    aiming for being skinny will only trigger issues that could lead to anorexia.

    talk to your friends. tell them you're trying to be healthier and feel better about yourself. show them you're not going anorexic....be careful. excersize and eat with them, and they'll see...reassure them.

    best of luck.

    I agree...... I myself have been and still goin through weight issues and eating problems,and ^^^^ is correct! If you sit there and say I want to be skinny and what your doing does not seem to be workin, that feeling will get stronger! It will make you so determined to get where you want to be that you will do anything to get there!

    As for the situation with your friends, Be lucky that they care about you, because I lost all my friends because of the ED! I have 4 ppl who are still my friends and that care about me!

    like perfect imperfection said do it the healthy way, exercise but dont over due it and and yes cut out the junk food but please just watch your eating! stay focus! You want to be HEALTHY not skinny! You dont want to be on the path that so many people are on these days!

    Your friends are just worried and concerned about you, sweetie. Of course I would be too if I were one of your friends or if I had a friend that cared THAT much about her weight.
    Just make sure not to go too far with the whole "I wanna be skinny" thing. You're 13! 100 lbs is not bad at all. I remember having friends at that age that were 135 lbs. Trust me, you are nothing close to fat.

    I myself am underweight. I am 5'3, almost 16 years old, and weight 102 lbs. But I'm not doing it on purpose. I eat more than anyone I know and I'm smaller than all of them.
    But honestly, I get told all of the time that I need some meat on my bones by guys. Guys are not attracted to twigs, sweetie. They like healthy girls that they won't break if they hug them.

    So just chill out on yourself. You're beautiful, healthy, and you shouldn't be concerned about your weight right now. It's fine and normal.

    Yea theyre just worried! an sides being that makes you perfectly fine its not too much and well your friends might be offended.

    your probably the skinniest out of all of them and your saying you feel fat. when they think youre perfectly fine and even very thin. that might, er i think has offended them slightly.

    Just cut off the junk food and don't keep trying to loose weight but to stay fit! [[awww now i feel fat and my friends call me a twiggg]]

    Yea, you're actually normal. Believe it or not, that's healthy. haha. So I think if you're like careful and just don't over eat, and stuff, and you're weight conscious in that sense, that's fine. But like if you start gaining weight than starving yourself to loose those pounds, that's not good at all.

    My friends tease me all the time about being anorexic or bulimic. I weigh just under 100, but that's because I can't ever stay 100 lbs. I watch my weight and stuff too, that's why they joke so much. I know its just because they want me to know they care without being like "Morgan, You don't weigh enough, you need to eat!" because that just sounds stiff and lame.

    So I bet if you just ya know, let them know that you're healthy and stuff, they'll lay off or something. luv ya, hope it all works out for you!

    Ha I had this peoblem before. I was 6'2 and only weighed about 110 pounds if that. All my friends where hating on my and pissy. I ignored them and lost more weight because of all the pressure on me. :D Then I met a wonderful person who loves to cook adn now i'm a healthy 160 >< He yells at me all the time to eat more but I ignore him and eat what I want.

    That's all that matters is how you feel about yourself. Not really what others think. Because all that leads to is people getting pressured and under stress people loss more wight. =\ So just ignore them adn do what you want. >> To a point
