Hmmm, anyone feel like this?

[Black_Apalachi]

Honestly I'm just touching 5 and a half foot and I've just weighed myself as just under 7 (didn't realise I was that skinny :s), I should be at least 9. Seriously, you're no way near overweight. You're underweight if anything.

You're still young (Please do read my PM) and still have a lot of time ahead. I know what you mean about the weight thing. It can be very obsessive. I'm not too sure about the friends thing. I do feel like that myself at times, I still cant put my finger on why it happens, I guess it may just be the kind of person I am.

You are FAR from fat. Never let someone put you down, There's a saying iv learned over the past 6 months with a girl.

Unwanted opinions are useless.

If someone doesn't mean anything to you, if they don't know you, If they don't know you like your friends do, Real friends, Then ignore the opinion, Why should you care what some random lowlife wants to say.

I get called names, told I'm sad. But I'm enjoying myself, If i want to sit in the house and play Habbo instead of a night out, Damn I will! I will do what I want because its my life, Not theirs.

Yes sortof.
In year 5 I was really skinny, my uncle used to call me Mr. Muscle and then because I went onto school dinners, they were really fatty and didnt fill me up so I got chubby but as ive been growing its been going
Its just puppy fat

I check my weight quite a lot because it's an important part of my image, I'm 5'7" and weigh about 8st10 give or take a couple of pounds depending on how long ago I've eaten.

Your attempt at weight loss might actually be part of the reason that you feel down a lot - proper nutrition is absolutely essential to having a good mental outlook because your brain and body have to function together and can't do that if you're not providing them with the right vitamins and minerals. Supplements can help but they ARE supposed to just be supplements and not replacements - you still need to eat as well. Keeping active helps too because exercise releases endorphins into your brain which make you feel good.

At your age you're likely to be anxious about yourself and other people and how you all fit together etc., but that's quite normal and self harm will only make things worse (not to mention harder in social situations because you'll be worrying about if they see). It should pass naturally in time but you can definitely help yourself along by eating right and generally keeping a more healthy lifestyle

One thing i forgot to add. Do realise that starving yourself isnt a good idea. I starved my body for 3 weeks, i ate about once every two days, a nutrigrain bar or something. I lost about 4 stone in 3 weeks. Now, my apetite is a mess, I rarely can eat now before feeling sick, the look of food makes me sick.

yeh i know what you mean but it's like, if i can go for 7 hours without eating that's a MASSIVE thing for me.
it makes me feel so headstrong and i've sort of got passed where i get hungry at all now. i know it's bad for me and i know it's messing with my head, but it's just really hard to just start eating normally again.
i haven't felt hungry for about a week now, like atall !

i honestly do feel that somethings happening to my head though.
i was walking with me friends today (there were five of us) and i felt SO out of place. like no-one had said anything bad to me or anything and i was happy but i just suddenly began to feel like they didnt want me there and i didnt deserve to be there.
i just sort of wanted to be alone and just to sit in a random field.

it's so weird though. like one second ill be happy then a second later ill feel like i want to just sit in the dark alone or something.

i dont get it !!!

p.s thanks for all you're comments, i know it's probably hormones and all that, i just wanted to see how others coped.

[Teabags]

Ok, so before anyone's like oooh you're only looking for attention and all that crap, just leave.


since around year 5 I've been pretty much obsessed with my weight and how I look, it was bad when I was in year 5 to year 7 then past year 7 it got abit better but now, going from year 9 into year 10 it's got a lot worse. I check my weight about 5 times a day, when I get up, before I'm about to go out, when I get back, afetr I eat then before I go to bed.
The only thing I really eat now is dinner because I'm scared of putting on weight.
The obsessive bit came about 2 weeks ago when my dad decided to buy some scales (my mum didn't want scales in the house becasue she knew I'd get obsessed with them). about two weeks ago i weighed about 8.6 (i'm 5'2 so it's not overly fat but not overly skinny). it doesn't seem too good / bad but i'm now 8.1. (My weight that i wanna be is around 7 stone).

Aswell as this, I just feel down all of the time.
I feel as though my friends hate me and the people I talk to just want to get away from me.
it's not by their actions it's just that I've talekd myself so much into the thought that the world wants me dead all the time it pops up.

I used to scratch the inside of my arm until it bled but people began to notice and ask questions so I started doing it on the top of my arm insted.
i don't even know why I do it, it's not with the intention that someone will see it, just a way to get the way I'm feeling out without involving anyone else.
everyone else has wayyy bigger problems then me and I just feel I don't deserve to complain.

So I just wanted to know, has anyone felt like this?
Is it just teenage hormones and will it get better over time?

My feelings have been like this for about a year now.

Thanks.

You seem fine to me. You shouldn't be weight obsessed really. You could be comparing yourself to others. I'm only 8st but that's by pure devine miracle, I eat more than 16st mates.

You aren't fat, if you feel the need to harm yourself that's not too far, but just a habit? It's caused by stress gained from your weight obsessiveness. You simply just need something to figet with.

Also, if you eat alot before bed, that is the worst time to start eating; reason being you burn off far less calories sleeping and if quickly becomes stored as fat. So if you are going to eat do it in the morning and if you don't snack the night before you naturally will be hungry?

The scales thing. You'll be fine, it can take a while to store fat before a growth spurt. I recently had one. I've grown 1/2 ft in 5 weeks. So just because your metabolic reaction and matabalism may be different, it won't change the fact that you could be due for a growth spurt.

I know this is grouping, but alot of girls are fully obsessed with weight, even when they're not fat. They eat salad only and go to the gym etc, why is beyond me.

You can feel down all the time, I did for two years. You need like a hobby or self-motivation. Acheiving things is the best way to boost confidence. You can do most things you don't realise and sometimes when you are down, you have to think about a reason why you are. So you can move on from it rather than them all building up. You're friends shouldn't be bothered and if they are, are they really friends?

Also, saying you have no right to complain is ridiculous. You have every right to? Why wouldn't you.

If that sounds real cheesy, tell me.
