Eating disorder
My name is Alex and im a 16year old female. i weigh 130 pounds and stll have my baby fat on my stomach.
Every since grade school i have been called fat by my peers and even my parents have called me fat and told me i needed to lose weight. Even though i know eating disorders are bad they haunt my mind. I think about not eating everyday .. i try and throw up my found after i eat but never do instead i break down and cry. Even if i think about not eating and throwing up does that mean i have eating disorder and if so how can i stop.

You dont have an eating disorder..yet but this is how it starts..this is how it started with me..DONT LET IT GET AHEAD OF YOU!! You need to lose weight the healthy way. Diet and Exercise is the ONLY way to do it..youde seriously be amazed at how much working out helps. If you want to lose weight around your stomach, try cardio such as running and doing ab workouts (there are many great videos out there aimed directly at the ab muscles) As for dieting, you dont have to starve yourself to lose weight. Eat 6 small meals a day and workout and I promise youll see results. Dont put negative thoughts about starving yourself/throwing up bc i promise you (i speak from experience) it's a horrible life to live and in the end, you will not keep off the weight you lose.

You don't have an eating disorder. You just have a bad image of yourself. I think you should talk to your school counselor. Everybody at one time or another thinks that they are unattractive. You're having a really hard time with it though because other people are "confirming" these thoughts. It sounds like you could develop an eating disorder. Getting help now, before you do, would be really beneficial to you. It will be much easier to get over everything if you don't wait for it to get out of control. Lastly, don't be so hard on yourself. Deep down you know that you're attractive no matter what other people may say. :)
