On the verge of an eating disorder?


Lately I've been feeling really insecure about myself and have been really worrying about my weight. I'm not overweight, I just would really like to lose 10 pounds and i'm aiming towards having a victoria's secret-like body (which i doubt will ever happen, but hey it's something to shoot for). I am 5'9 and weigh 140 and my measurements are 34-24-36. I've decided to give up carbs and and sweets and start eating only fruits, veggies, and lean meat and drink lots and lots of water. but i'm really worried that i'm getting obsessed with my weight. Oh, and I ALWAYS feel like people are judging my body when i'm at the pool but i really try to ignore it. Could this possibly turn into an eating disorder or does anyone have words of encouragement? i need all i can get, lol. Thanks a lot!

Instead of freaking out about the calories or anything like that, make sure youre getting the nutrition. And to be honest, one in probably 500 girls have a victorias secret body! Also there are zillions of girls who dont look anything like that and are still amazingly beautiful! I know this might sound weird, but when youre at the pool or feeling fat, just think that theres someone whos always going to be fatter than you. Eat the carbs and anything like that in the morning, and make sure to stay active!

You really aren't overweight. Boys prefer girls who are healthy looking anyway, so don't starve yourself! Ever wonder why people invented padded bras and butt pads?!

You are just an average teenager...trust me. I feel the same way, and I am 5'2 and 105lbs. The media can get the best of all of us. But honestly, you are not fat, don't ever think that. Your BMI (Body Mass Index) is 20.7! 18.5 -24.9 is the weight you BMI that you should be, or the average. You are actually on the skinny side.
