i hate my body, i absolutatly HATE it. im soo self conscious (sp) it's not even funny. i'm 13, 5'2 (or 5'3, i really dont know), and about 110 pounds.. yeah i know this might seem 'normal' to you but to me, its not. a lot of girls in my class and school are skinnier than me, even 8th and 9th graders! and get this, my friend's mom is so skinny, her and her mom share clothes and we're only in 7th grade. so yeah enough with the comparing, anyways i hate my stomach, i swear whenever i eat like a salad or something it grows throughout the day which makes me look fat and pregnant, which i hate. i seriously don't know what to do, since it grows throughout the day when i eat should i stop eating? or what do you suggest? i might go aneroxic or something, that's how much i hate my body. any help is greatly appreciated.. thanks soo much. and sorry this was long & confusing! ♥

I'd suggest you stop reading now if you don't want to hear a brutally honest, but truthful answer.

I've had a lot of fucked up friends with fucked up bodies(or so they thought). Two people I knew couldn't finish their 8th grade year because of problems with bulimia and anorexia. They all started their problems with the same thoughts about their bodies that you currently have. One of them was determined to have perfectly flat abs so she starved herself and induced vomiting constantly. She did this to the point that one day she lacked the energy to even stand up. Anyways, they all wanted to appear thin because they thought thin was beautiful, they thought they would be happy if they were thin. The problem is that they were never thin enough to satisfy their needs.

I doubt you'll be much different from them. Just how thin do you want to be? Until your ribs can be seen? or until they completely portrude out?

Don't be stupid, not eating isn't the key to looking good. Exercise is. Not eating doesn't solve any problems, your desire to become more and more skinny just increases. Exercise will

1. Make you lose body fat(hence lose whatever fat you have on your abs)
2. Keep you in shape
3. Increase your self esteem, and your lack of self esteem is probably the reason why you feel so bad about yourself in the first place.
