hi, im new here and i need some help! ok, i dont know if what i am going through is an eating disorder but i need to know if it is and how i can stop this. ok, ever since i was little i have always dealt with my weight. i am 5'3" and i wiegh 128 pounds. i wish i was smaller and i look at my friends and other girls i know who are skinny and little. i just wish that i could be like them, i get very depressed and sometimes i only eat once a day, something like a bowl of cereal or something non fattening like that. when i do eat a few cookies or i have a peice of pizza, i look at myself in the mirror and all i see is fat, then i work out for over an hour, exhausting myself. i feel that if i dont work out for over 30 min., that peice of pizza will stick to me. basically, everything i eat i feel i have to work off. i no i have a bad issue with my self-esteem, but i feel that noone will like me if i am not skinny....is this crazy? i mean i have my dad's running legs, (my legs are big) and i wish i could have models legs...i just wish i wasnt me. i have a boyfriend, and he tells me all the time i am perfect and not fat but im stuck on what i think...please someone help me....any advice to get my mind off of this or get my self-esteem up?

thanks for reading this,

Hi Snoop,


You are at an excellent, healthy weight for your height. You are not overweight.
