Distorted view of self
I can't look at myself properly.
Like I hear how skinny I am from my mother, and such, but when I look in the mirror I swear I just see thunder theighs.
So for about a month, I've been exercising and eating healthy.
I lost 6 pounds.
So I'm roughly 16/5'2 and 125 pounds.
I'm also starting to feel quilty about eating, anything. Like even carrots (14=30 cals)
I jsut want to lose weight.
So can you tell me a way to diet that is healthy.
I need to lose soem weight.

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
From the measurements that you've provided I can tell you that you are within range of your ideal body weight. You do NOT need to lose weight.
I commend you for eating healthy and exercising. However, I'm a little concerned about the fact that you are counting the calories in carrots. I think that your main problem is that you can not reconcile your own body image.
And I can understand why... I've always been thin. I've never weighed over 130 lbs during my life thus far. Yet... During my teenage years, I was convinced that I was fat. Part of this has to do with my body shape. I've always been very curvaceous. But you know what... My body shape is genetic. I could lose fifty pounds and still have flaring hips. You have to realize that YOUR body has a shape of it's own and that no matter how much you weigh you can't change that.
The other part of my problem was that I kept comparing myself to everyone else. To the models in magazines, to my friends that hadn't started maturing yet... That's not only unhealthy, but it's unrealistic.
So... Bottom line: continue to eat healthy and exercise. But don't be afraid to eat. You need to eat. Practice looking in the mirror and saying, "You're beautiful"... Because you are. ;)

one thing you can do is start every morning with a glass of cold water before you eat drink or do anything like brush your teeth also drink a glass of water before every meal and even during now you may not be that thirsty but this does help and start substituting your drinks like soda with water and then just keep exercising and eat healthy that should work

i am in egland and we use different measurements, like stones and lbs instead of just lbs, but i am pretty sure that you are not thunder thighs.
you are so skinny, that a small amount of fat (which is there so you can LIVE) looks like loads to you. they are not thunder thighs; they are firm and make you feminine, embrace this, stop slagging yourself off, and start listening to what the people who love and care about you say.
i recomend cutting out unhealthy food, and walking more.
i recently switched from cola to apple juice; which helped me lose a few pounds!
