a lot of people keep coming up to me and asking me if i'm anorexic. i'm starting to thing i am now. people always tell me how skinny i am, but i think i'm fat. and i'm obsessive over what i eat, and i always weigh myself.

it's my stomach i don't like. when i stand up and squeeze my stomach there's like 2 inches of fat! is that normal?! =(.. i feel so fat. i want to try to have NO fat there. does anyone know any good exercises to get rid of that fat?

so i have 3 questions:
-do you think i might be anorexic?
-is all that fat normal? you can compare me to a normalish stomach or whatever, i don't care.
-what are some good exercises to get rid of that fat?

Two inches of fat isn't normal, no - most people have so much more than that!!! Seriously.
Yeah, I think you're at least developing anorexia. :( For now, try and stop weighing yourself, and don't always look at the calories on each thing you eat. It's fine if you think it might have LOADS of calories and you don't want to overeat - that's totally normal, just don't be checking the calories in every single biscuit or cereal bar you eat, you know? You might want to look up some help organisations online - they often have support message boards with people who are going through the same thing and can help you get through it. Anorexia is a severe mental illness...you do need to go to the doctor or find a group who can help you. Even if you think you're too fat to be anorexic - that's actually one of the main symptoms of it.
You're half way to getting better already hun - admitting you have a problem is half the battle!
Good luck!!
Blessed Be,
