    I can't help but to think i'm fat....But everyone says I'm skinny(they lie) I'm not...I way 106(becuse of this thing called a period in water loads me down) but this still bothers me. When ppls ask my weight I change topic. I can't help thinking this or think poorly about my self. Is it becuse i have a medium body frame? Or just please help me---------------------Meagan

    wow...someone i can relate to! i have the same problem except i wish i weighed 106. i weigh 115. and i've lost like 6 pounds in less than a week. ppl always ask me how come i dont eat and i just say the truth, "I'm not hungry" lately i dont get hungry as i usually did. someone told me it was because i've trained myself not to eat. weird if you ask me. but i dont know if this happens to you, but if i do eat something, i can't stop. i dont know how b/c i dont know when i'm full. and if i eat just one little thing a couple of minutes later my stomache hurts so i just dont eat that much at all. and everytime i get up, i sorta...well i dont know how to explain it but my head gets so heavy that i feel like i am about to fall and when stumble all i see is black when i know my eyes are wide open. and then when i am about to collapse to the floor i always end up catching myself and then the weight is lifted. and i'm normal again.
    i dont know what that is all about but it sure is weird if you ask me.

    i'm not sure i could help you, but i dont think your fat. (i'm not lying) i have friends that weigh that much and their skinny. not boney skinny but just right. and trust me some guys dont like girls that look like sticks. so keep some meat on those bones! lol...

    i am not sure if its because you have a medium body frame or not. i dont think so but that's my opinion which is probably worthless. just think positive of yourself! or at least try! gosh...maybe i should take my own advice.

    Right now I am starving myself. I'm 5'1 and 110lbs. I'm still trying to lose 10 more pounds. I'm told I should eat more and stop starving myself but I do it anyways. It doesn't bother me. If I keep up on my Mountain Dew intake, then I'm fine and I don't get sick, but otherwise if I don't, I'll pass out from being hypoglacemic. I do eat a lil bit here and there, but its not much and not very often. I'm just trying to lose the weight for myself. My mother was 115 at the age of 38 and was never over 125. Being 15 and 110, scares me and it makes me feel really fat. I also look it. My stomach and legs have so much fat, its sickening to me. So I starve. Oh well... Its not a big deal to me.

    wow, i didnt know all this...but as for me i also just need to lose 10 more pounds and i'll be satisfied with myself. so...what i'm having are blackouts? well as long as its not serious then i'm sure i'll be ok. but i wont resort to making myself throw up, at least i dont think...i hate tho, because when i do actually eat, i cant stop. i just want more and i dont know when to stop because i cant tell when i'm full or not. and even if i eat just one tiny thing my stomach starts to hurt. so i guess your right that it can mess ur stomach up.

    to ally: i'm sorry, i bet that puts alot of pressure on you to lose weight since our mom was never over 125 pounds.

    Actually, I'm told I need to gain weight. I'm the one who wants to lose it. My mom was tiny but I'm a lil bigger than her. I'm told by everyone I need to gain the weight I'm trying to lose but I won't do it. I refuse it and no one can really make me eat anything.

    when people tell me that i need to eat and keep bugging me about it, they dont do anything and really they dont care. but they dont make me eat. its not like they can physically force us to eat something.

    I agree. I've been told I'm going to have food forced down my throat but no one ever acts on me not eating.. All the do is tell me I should but never bother to even try to get me to. Oh well.. Its better for me that way.
