Hi. I am almost 18, 5′3″ and 108 pounds. I wear a size 1-2 in jeans, but I am still sort of fat. I have a pot belly, and my boyfriend has even brought it up to me saying I would look better with a smaller stomach. I have suffered from an eating disorder for almost three years, and I’ve gained 10 agonizing pounds toward the sake of my health only and this is what becomes of it. I get a pot belly and my boyfriend negatively comments my body. I already have terrible self-image, and it just adds on to it. I want to firm my stomach and legs and lose a little bit of weight, around 5-7 pounds. Would that be dangerously unhealthy? I am just desperate to feel better, to feel more confident, and to look better. I am Asian and other Asian friends look at me like I am a “fat American.” Forgive me if this sounds like pitiful anorexic-media brainwash, but I feel so huge and ugly. I’ve been trying to heal emotionally from anorexia and every time I eat, self confidence is knocked down but I have to force myself to eat so I can maintain health. I exercise an hour a day, but nothing is happening and every time I look in the mirror, I want to cry. I do not want to gain weight, I do not want to go to therapy, I don’t want to get better, I guess is what I’m trying to say. I just wish I could be healthy AND look thin. Is there any way to do that at all? 
ok, im 16 years old and im 5 ft 9 and 7 stone although i try not to weigh myself to much as i get obsessed. i eat very little during the week, i can go days without eating, making up excuses like ‘oh i had a big lunch so im not hungry’ or ‘ill get something later’ although i never do. then at the weekends i eat more than a normal person would consume on a weekly basis. i don’t even feel physically hungry but i just eat and eat and then i eat nothing for the rest of the week and feel very tired and weak and i cant concentrate at school. ive tried eating during the week but i just feel sick and dizzy when i try to eat healthily. i dont do any exercise either, do i have a health problem?
i weigh myself 3-4 times per day, and would feel lost if i didn’t constantly know my weight.
my BMI is 18.5, which means i’m classified as normal.
as far as food goes, i have a low-calorie dinner, and sometimes i might have a cup of soup for lunch, but i prefer to go without.
i can’t stand eating, i think it’s really pointless, and i get embarrassed about it easily.
i wear a pedometer, count caloried obsessively, and try to walk as much as i can.
i can’t stand looking at myself in mirrors, because it upsets me to see what i look like. i often end up avoiding them or covering them up with stuff in my house.
what do you think i should do ?
I find it quite easy to answer questions about peoples diet/exercise plans or tell little 12 year olds that they arent fat and shouldnt worry about it, as I’ve got eating problems myself.
Anyone else out there?
