I feel like a fatty
I'm a 15 year old girl and I feel fat basically. Yeah, I know I sound like most girls my age but the thing is I know I'm not fat, if that makes sense.
My family often crack jokes about me being fat because I'm a size 12 verging on a size 14, but they always deny it afterwards.
I'll accept this and often laugh it off though I'll later find myself analyzing what they've said and agreeing with it.
I eat way more than I should anyway but sometimes I only do it cause I'm bored. Like I'll just be sitting around doing nothing in particular and then I'll think of food and all of a sudden I have to have it and I will go eat.
I don't exercise often due to the fact that I'm quite lazy and I'm asthmatic.
Sometimes I'll tell myself in my head that I'm fat and that that's why guys don't want to date me. But the thing is it's not a little voice in my head, it's me and I can control it but I don't, I just do it anyway.
Then recently my siblings have being going on about how I need thinspiration and how I should be thinspiration on what not to look like cause I'm so fat.
Occasionally I'll consider making myself sick just to lose weight but then I back out because I think 'what if someone heard/found me?' and also because I know how much damage doing that does to your body and teeth.

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
The other advice I agree with 100% however, you must consider the future. As you get older it becomes easier to gain weight for several reasons: slower metabolism, decrease in physical activities, pregnany and life's stressors. So, I would recommend trying your best to stay active. Don't worry so much about how much you are eating but more on enjoying life getting out there to swim, bike ride with friends, play basketball etc. You'll be fit and in great health and still loving your favorite foods.

First: I think it is wrong of your family, parents and siblings to tease you about your weight. Second: Unless your doctor has said something to you about your weight I would not be too concerned.
Sure all 15 year old girls would like to look like runway models; it just isn't going to happen and half if not all those girls have serious eating disorders or are way under weight. The photo's themselves are also overly retouched by photo artists to give the customer the picture they want to sell whatever it is they are selling.
Before I retired I had several motto's I used to live by. As a salesman for most of my working life I needed some type of daily inspiration to motivate myself. One of my motto's that you might wish to adopted is this one: "The only person I need to be better than is the person I am today."
What that means is never listen to what others think or what others say who they may be better than you. People whose' sales where not near as good as mine where always telling me I should do things there way or the company way. I was comfortable with who I was and how I did things and it showed in my sales reports. My goal was to be better and do better tomorrow than I was today.
If you are comfortable with how and what you are, then don't listen or worry about what other people say. Sure you could loose a few pounds a IF YOU WANT TO. Your doctor is the best person to ask if YOU NEED TOO.
If you were a size 16, 18 or larger I might be answering this differently. Especially because of the weight impact on your asthma. As long as you and your doctor a comfortable with your weight, just pretend to be a duck and let the remarks roll of you back as water rolls off a ducks back.

Hey darlinn,. I've been there before,. but remember,. being bigger boned is not a bad thing,. Maybe you are bigger than Jlo or your not a size 4. But that is not a bad thing,. it's about accepting you for who you are,. now i knnow your at a wierd stage were it's the important thing to be skinny,. and have the perfect body,. but if you feel bigger and want to try thinning out or changing sommething,. change one little thing at a time,.
What i'm trying to do is to do 60 curls a day,. im pretty lazy too i have a stomach on me,. but maybe doing this,. will help me accept myself better.
Hope this helps:)
