Eating Disorder?
I'm 13, 5'6, and 121 pounds. My friends all say I'm skinny, but I don't see a skinny person when I look in the mirror. Are my friends just being nice and saying I'm skinny or am I and not realizing it. Does this lead to eatind disorders? What are some symptoms?

I don't think that your friends are trying to be nice. I think that they are saying the absolute truth to you. I think that you're in denial and that you're not realizing how skinny you are . Thus comes the denial because you're not acknowledging it. Hun, you're probably under a lot of stress about what you're so supposed to look like. But I definitely can tell you that for the age of 13 and the weight of 121, that you're definitely in fine shape. And I personally know this because I have an age and weight scale at my doctor's office. It can lead to eating disorders because the denial itself is a great motivater to anerexia. Women who look in the mirror and don't see their true reflection: thus they begin to think that they're fat and starvation occurs. DENIAL is a great issue. All you have to do is learn how to keep it in check . You need to learn how to do this for it's very important. Some symptoms are denial, slacking in eating, headaches, migranes(sorry if I spelled that wrong). The most common things can sometimes be symptoms. Just be careful okay. Goodluck and I hope I was some help. Good day to you.

goodness sweety your only 121 and your 5'6. im 13 and weigh the same only im 5'3. so no your definately not fat. most of the time friends will be honest about whether your fat or skinny. im the same way about looking in the mirror and seeing some one fat even though i know im not. its called a complex. it is very dangerous it can often lead to alsurs and alsur is a thing that happens to your stomach and it is very painful and dangerous. an hon your not fat and if u still feel that way see your family doctor and ask him/her about you being overweight or not(which your not.) let me know how it goes

Hey hon! Here's a very useful tool to see whether you are at the correct weight for your height or not: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
By the sound of it, you ARE skinny. Alot of people don't feel skinny. That doesn't necessarily mean you're on the way for an eating disorder but of course, there's always a chance. There aren't always "symptoms", just the desperate need to be extremely skinny so you make a choice to be unhealthy. As you know, eating disorders are being more & more common amoung teens because of the large influence we get from TV, magazines, music etc. Just be happy with yourself & if you start to get the overwhelming need to loose weight, do it the healthy way. Good luck! ♥

ok, well seriously, i dont understand why people care about what they look like, but if they think you're skinny, then you are! people see from there eyes, not yours *sadly*. So listen to your friends, but still look through your eyes. Just eat alot of healthy food, so that way, it's half and half! lol. hope i helped! please rate!
