body concious
well im 15 and about 120 pounds.
recently i have become VERY self concious about my body. everytime im with my friends I'm always comparing myself to them without thinking about it.
Everytime i look in the mirror or even think about my body i get this really weird feeling like dizzyness and just like a shallow feeling in my chest and I know it's not good t think about that stuff but I can't help it?
does anyone know why this is happening or why i feel like this
i hate to even look in the mirror so i decided to just stop because I just feel so disgusted :/

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
What you are experiencing is absolutely normal and very common for a person of your age. Your starting to become more aware of your image and how other people see you.At the current weight you are there is no reason to suggest that you are in any way over weight.
Generally people are their own biggest critics; you'll find that what you dislike about your body many people will fail to see what you dislike about yourself.
Getting the nutrients your body needs it vitally important so having a varied and well balanced diet is key. It would be worth while to read up on nutrition information and what it all means so that you can ensure what youre putting into your body is good for you (though there's nothing wrong with the occasional treat!)
Most females are never entirely happy with their body but there is so much you can do to improve your own self esteem. You can take up a sport to keep fit and healthy. Not only will it benefit your health but it will give you the confidence that you lack and much more energy. Try different sports and see what you enjoy best. Swimming, running, tennis, cycling, gymnastics, rock climbing, football, hiking: theres a wide range out there for you to try and enjoy.
If you want to tone up a little bit there's nothing wrong with that either. "8 minute abs/legs/glutes etc." is still a favourite and widely accessible on youtube that you can do at home. Or perhaps start doing yoga classes.
There are many people who can't be thin enough in this world and no matter how thin they get they will never be happy. It's how YOU feel about yourself that makes a difference. And there's nothing wrong with keeping fit that will also help you feel better for a variety of reasons.
You know what else you can do? Get dressed up and have a girls night out with your friends! What girl doesn't love putting on pretty things and having a great time with friends. Give yourself a break!

If you are in the 5' to 5' 4" in height you are in the ideal weight range for your height and age. Thanks to glamor magazines we all tend to put to much emphasis on our body image. Fact is even the models do not look like what they look like in the magazines as those photos are very much retouched.
Another fact to be aware of is to look like these models you have to deprive your body of the nutrients it needs to survive and very often you end up being under weight. Being under weight is worse than being a little overweight as the body needs certain things to survive. When it does not get what it needs it will do what it needs to do to survive. In most cases that means shutting down different vital organs until only the heart and brain are left. It is the shutting down of these vital organs that kill people with eating disorders such as anorexia.
The smart thing to do is to visit your doctor and find out what your ideal weight should be. Then design a diet plan to get to that weight. Exercise to tone up your muscles and remember muscle tissue weighs more than fat.
Once you have reached your ideal weight, toned and firmed your body. Don't worry about what other people look like. We are all individuals. We are not suppose to look like one another.
The best rule I have found to live by is this one. The only person I have to be better than is me. If I can be a better person tomorrow than I was today then I have succeeded in my goal.
I have used this motto throughout my life and it has stood me well. I hope you will adapt it to your life.
