Ht. 5ft8, Wt. ?? - hey, im new here and here's my story- iv always been tall for my age and up until i turned 12, i was always skinny too but when i started highschool all these new ways of getting junk food became available to me and in 2.5 years ive went from 5ft5-112lbs to 5ft8-150lbs!!! yeah i know my height has changed aswell but that is a lot of extra weight for only 3 inches and i also know im actually in the healthy weight range for my height but i am honestly not happy with my body!! i want to lose weight for me not for anybody else but i find it so hard to stick to a diet because i am a SERIAL binger. none of my family support my wanting to lose weight because my mum is a nurse and she she says im a healthy weight but im soooo not!! i look in the mirror and i feel physically sick just looking at my body, i turn guys down when they ask me out because i dont want anyone near my body, im OBSESSED!! i really need help but i dont want to go to the doctors because nobody knows about this but the problem is even though im dieing to lose weight, the more i try the more i binge, the more weight i put on, the more i want to lose and the cycle keeps going! i dont know what to do because i cant stick to a diet and im not going to starve myself cos i know how bad that is for you but it is actually making me depressedm sometimes i cry when i walk past a mirror!! somebody PLZ help me i dont know what to do! wb plz xx

Reply from Sharon, Age 13 - 12/10/05 - IP#: 68.239.159.xxx Just remember, if you do not accept yourself, NO ONE will accept you. Stop freakin out and stay clam. dont compare yourself to models because they HAVE to starve themselves. I'm just saying many can be born like that and some must work hard. Please dont get mad at me. I have weight problems too and I just want others to be happy with themselves. If you really really think about your over reacting, it's a waste of time. Trust me I've been through the complaining.

Reply from Julie, Age 17 - 12/10/05 - IP#: 4.242.174.xxx She isn't necessarily comparing herself to models. Just because you want to lose weight, doesn't mean she wants to look like some one else. I mean, I'm technichally in the "healhy" weight range, but I still HATE my body, and I've never compared myself to anyone else. Anyway, I can completely relate to you, jenilea. I'm pretty much in your exact position, so I honesetly dont have much advice for you, srry. if you want to be support buddies, you can email me at dragonzrule_759@hotmail.com. I'm 5'3, 127ish pounds.
Reply from Usha (pronounced oo-sha), Age 15 - 12/10/05 - IP#: 207.200.154.xxx Wow girl! Your a perfect weight. I don't see why you should be so down on yourself. Oviously your comparing yourself with very unrealistic people (eg. models). I'm 5'7, 150 and I'm pretty ok with my body. I mean, I do want to lose about 10 more pounds, but I'm not FREAKING out about it. Your an inch taller than me too, so I wouldn't be worried about it. Love yourself for the way you are, and, if you DO want to lose, set realistic goals. Excercise for 30 minutes a day, eat healthy, don't over eat and drink lots of water. Thats bacicly all you need to do! Good luck! And remember, your a totly fine weight! Dont' compare yourself to sick, artificial models!
