Ht. 5'3", Wt. 133 - I feel horrible. I have an eating disorder. In the 6th grade, I was 115 and about average. In the seventh grade, I went down to 110 because of sports. In the eight grade, I dropped to 94 towards the beggining of my freshman year. I now weight 133, and I keep gaining weight. I'm starting too feel the fat when I walk and I don't feel comfortable anywhere in public. I used to look too skinny, and if I just would have stopped at 115, I would look great now...Some days I just feel like giving up the struggle to be who I was, because I can't follow through with anything anymore. Please help.

Reply from Marina, Age 18 - 05/15/06 - IP#: 71.19.42.xxx I just wanted to point out that you're not fat. I can, however, relate to that feeling of having the extra weight on yourself. When I started taking all of these heavy medications they caused me to gain weight. On top of that, I spent 3 months in the hospital where I wasn't getting much exercise. I gained about 20 pounds! It was horrible. I still have a few more to get of. The best thing you can do for yourself is to accept the way your body is now & embrace it. It's yours and you have to love it the way it is. & If you really love your body - you'd treat it well, by eating healthy foods and exercising regularly. As you've obviously learned, crash dieting is doomed to fail. You lose the weight fast but then it returns quicker and more!! You need to adjust to a healthy lifestyle that you can do for the rest of your life!
