First off, this feeling is normal for 14 year-old girls. its all part of puberty. i am an 18 year-old male and i have a slight anorexia problem. im 5' 10" and weigh 135 lbs. im not telling you this to demean ur problem, im simply saying it to let you know that even guys have this problem, even if they are 18. In the U.S. its hard not to feel fatter than everyone else when our role models are so incredibly unhealthy thin. My advice, talk to a school councilor or intervention specialist and let them know that you've been haveing these thoughts. Also, ingore America's insane facination with being paper thin to be pretty. its just flat out not true. if your problem consists, seek professional help imediately. anorexia/bulimia is very hard to stop once its starts and should never be taken lightly. you made a good choice in asking for help before you fell into that trap.
