See myself as big
I am 15/f a dancer, 5'7.5 and about 125-130 lbs. I wear a 0-3 in pants and a size small in shirts and a small to medium in leotards for dance.
my problem is when i look in the mirror i see someone who is obese. Sometimes i see myself normal but different mirrors give me different looks.
I would never be able to be anorexic or bulimic because i am deathly afraid of throwing up and i love food and am always hungry :)
how can i improve my body image?
also i am NOT fishing for compliments... i just want some things to tell myself that will help me see myself in a better way.
thanks!

Hi I'm tori and I'm 14
I had the same problem...the only cure is when you know you are doing right. Exsercize and stretch outside of dance and when going fora snack eat fruit or veggies. Soda should be cut down to only 3 per week. This helped me because I felt in control of my body and a lot healthier /awake. I hope this helps you!
And u are so right never become bulimic or anorexic cuz that looks gross

Hi there. Well spotted, you've identified that anorexia & bulimia involve looking in the mirror and seeing an obese person looking back. They still see a fat person when they're down to skin and bone and needing medical treatment you know. It's psychological, not physical. And yes, mirrors can most certainly distort images. The obvious fact of course is that you are VERY FAR from obese indeed. Feeling hungry and eating plenty...answer's in the first five words...you're a dancer. That burns LOADS of calories and you've got to put them back!! I'm a guy...do you know I've always had a 'fear' of throwing-up strangely. Always struck me as 'losing control' of myself somehow. That's encouraging...it'll help keep you away from that bulimic path, you don't want to go there. Accept that at your age you have a lot of self-doubts and insecurities bubbling away. Dancing, like modelling involves a lot of self-confidence & a great self-image as you are basically judged on 'how you look'. Put the last two facts together...there's your answer! Just keep hold of the fact that it's in your mind. Just imagine how damaging these feelings could be if you weren't clever enough to have an idea where they're coming from. Happily, you are clever enough. Really...are those stats in your question those of a 'fat girl'...I think NOT!!!

I wouldn't be worrying about your body(: im 5'4 and i weigh about the same as you, i wear 3-5 in pants and a size medium in shirts. DOn't feel bad. But to make your self look slimer, wear black, lay of those super tight shirts most girls wear its okay to go with a nice lose shirt. but if you want to lose weight you can eat alot of fruit and nuts. that really helps. alot of fiber. since youre an athlete drink plenty of water. dont worry about how you look (:
