Self Image Homepage

Question: Is this self image issues or what?

Well for starters I am not super skinny, I could stand to lose some weight, but I am not fat or anything. I feel like if I eat anything I will gain like 5 pounds and no matter what I wear, my stomach has to be covered by wearing a jacket or something. Deep down I know I'm not fat, but I still think I am. Many times I've tried starving myself, but I gave in and one time I lost my appetite for a week and I lost so much weight, I wish I could go back to that. I am rather short (5 feet) and so I feel like I am gonna gain weight a lot faster which doesn't help. And a lot of the time during the day I think about how fat I am, almost like I obsess over it. So my question is, is this normal? I know girls are very critical of their body in general, but I feel like I'm going a bit overboard. What are your opinions? I'm 15, almost 16.

I have the same exact problem. I really hate it. But you didnt say how old you are.. And i dont think i have ever worn just a shirt to school, i ALWAYS have to have a sweatshirt on just because i am soo uncomfortable with myself. I am 5f 2in though.. im sorry, i dont have any answers for you. :/

Try to get interested in something else besides how much you weigh but be careful with weight at the same time, im only 4ft5 and i find i cant hardly eat or i'll gain weight really fast. i have to almost live on vitamins to prevent myself from gaining
