So here's another 'I'm unconfident and fat and blah,' kinda question. Sorry, everyone. :P
Alright, so I've recently stopped exercising as much as usual, because cheerleading isn't as active as usual, at the moment. I've also been letting myself pig out more often, and then I feel so guilty, afterwards.
Beings I don't have a treadmill or anything, I don't work out much, either, because 100 curlups a night didn't work, and I'm not allowed to do more. (mom wont let me exercise too much.)
I can't really diet, because my mom already thinks I've got an eating problem, and all the food from the grocery store my parents get is always fatty and all. I feel like I'm so fat, but she dosen't see it, or dosen't want to. I mean, she's almost as thin as I am, and it makes me feel weird, because she's skinny, but being next to her makes me feel fat, aswell as being next to some of my friends.
So, I don't know what to do.. I'm going away, soon, and I don't know if I should try to just eat alot less, because it's academic, so I wont be able to work out much. I also don't want to creep out my room mate I wont know, by working out all the time.
I'm 14 years old, I weigh about 98 pounds (I'd like to get to 90) and I'm about 4'11'. Should I be worried? If so, what should I do about it?
I guess the reason I feel this way is especially that I'm a flyer in cheerleading, and one of the girls complains ALOT that she's got ALOT of weight in her hands. And then my other base, who dosen't seem to like me too much, pointed out that I weigh almost as much as she does.
Next to that, I've just got myself in the mindset that I'm just fat. I hate feeling like this, too. I always at 10lbs to my scale, almost to scare myself into losing weight, but nothing's helping.
What bothers me most, though, is my stomach. I worked for so long to get tight, fit abs, and now, it's all flabby (in my opinion). It sticks out, and as much as I suck in, there's a little pouch, and it just bothers me so much. Especially when I sit, it seems to 'roll', lol.
Sorry I sound disgusting, but please, someone help me, somehow. Should I be this worried, or is this normal?

You may just SEE yourself as "fat" but in reality no one sees you like this. I have heard many people with this "case"(if u call it that). So i mean it could just be how you see yourself in your mind...your brain tells you that you are fact when actuality your NOT...especially from reading your info. I used to think like a little bit of pudginess on my stomach was gross & then my boyfriend was like i love it....it shows your human(i mean that doesnt make me fat). Same thing with you. If you feel unhealthy(DONT stop eating & DONT over exercise) but instead--just find healthier meals & exercise every once in a while.
Well i hope you realize your NOT FAT & keep your head up ok girl?
if u need more advice hit me up
hope i helped
