Just don't listen to the people who judge you for your looks. Before you digest their insult or whatever remember that they get their ideal bodies from air brushed photos and super models who most likely have eating disorders.

Thats just what I wanted to put out there. OK here is some advice:

When you look in the mirror, don't look at what's wrong with you, think of all of the things you like about yourself.

Also, try not to compare yourself to other people. Even though you may feel better after you look at a girl who may be less pretty or whatever, its really devastating to then look at  a girl who you think is better looking then you. Well, that's all I got.

Hope that helped :)

5foot 8 and so far 108lbs still hoping to lose a bit more

This poll isn't for people with eating disorders! I know you have one because thats how I think! And I suffer from one! Please get help because you have no idea the excruciating pain i go thru every single second of my life because of my anorexia! Please get help! EATING DISORDERS RULE YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, PERSONALITY, AND YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.  Just as a newsflash, if your goal is below 100 pounds or something , that is very.... um.... foolish because of your height and youth. Do you want to stop getting your period, start to see your hair fall out, feel cold all the time, and always feel isolated? Did you know that little hairs can actually start growing all over your body because the lack of food is making your body trying to stay warm? It will make you look furry. Eww, right? Get help before it's too late! I know this sounds hypocritical considering the fact that i have anorexia, but no one told me the affects of it. If you don't believe me, google "Child BMI Calculator"  good luck.

hey... I know how you feel. Im in EXACTLY the same boat I am 5'6 and I weighed below 100 pounds about 2 weeks ago. I have a therapist, a nutritionist (or dietician, whatever term you use), and my pediatrician who has been charting my weigh for about a year. I lost about 15 pounds my eight grade year, and I have to get weighed every week. Anorexia stinks. I can't stop feelinf guilty for eating a whole sandwhich, or eating peanut butter, or eating anything. I  feel strong when i don't eat for 6 hours, and I have to know exactly how many calories are in everything. I actually just got diagnosed with in, but truth be told, I think I've had it for about  a year. I used to eat exactly one serving of oatmeal with water for breakfast, an apple for lunch, and maybe a bite of chicken  and plain lettuce for dinner. I considered binging eating a whole sandwhich. I feel like somethings broken inside of me. Therapy dosent help because they dont know what its like to look in the mirror and break down in tears. I once bought a bathing suit from a store, but immediatly returned it after I looked in the mirror and noticed how fat I looked. Anorexia is this giant monster that kills everything inside of you, including my self confidence and my personality. I see every single rib, but I also see every inch of fat. I think the best way to overcome the monster is to admit to your self that you have a problem. It also helps when you find people like you who share the same worries. I don't know if you're Christian, but turn to Jesus Christ and he will heal you, day by day. I know that you have people who love you, and God loves you. I wish I could say that having anorexia is easy and easy to overcome, but its not.

I hope that helped.

Hey I have an eating disorder too. First of all DONT COUNT CALORIES what my weight gain diet is based on getting enough servings of each food group a day. I started counting calories and  that what helped develop this stupid disease. You start to get your period back when you eat enough fat in your diet. It takes a certain amount of fat to allow the menstration process to happen. But I know you dont want to gain weight because you probobly still think you are fat. My spine sticks out and every single one of my ribs portrude, yet I still cant help noticing how I need to get rid of that fat on  my stomach or thighs. *sigh* I know how you feel. It sucks its like being stuck in this large hole, because no one seems to understand why that thin girl wont put on  a few pounds.

hmmm

i feared that all my friends would be or were getting skinnier than me. i didn't want to be the "fat one" i just stood in the mirror one day, extremely paranoid, and pointed out all the things i wanted to get rid of. i would pose in my bathing suit everyday and just criticize myself. i've also been best friends with this girl my whole life who is just naturally thin. she's such a stick. and plus she's tall, so i wanted it to be like "well she might be tall, but i can still be short and skinnier than her". and just pictures in magazines too. bathing suit ads and advertisements for cute summer clothes and i thought "i'll never look that good". i was so afraid to gain weight, and of course i wanted boys to think i was attractive. and it was like my thing. just one little thing nobody ever knew about, i was organized, kept a little notebook planning my meals and exercise. i can honestly say i don't blame anyone but myself, and it wasn't even an issue of that being the only thing in life i could control. it was total vanity and wanting to be able to be compared to other girls and not completely dismissed. it was also somewhat of a rush, having my small secret nobody knew about it. like nobody knew this layer of my life. they only saw the surface, i was losing weight.

whew. haha i sound kinda crazy don't i?

 That doesn't sound crazy at all, cus thats almost exactly what I do and compare myself to. I haven't told anyone about it or anything and I do keep a little notebook planning my meals and counting my calories... I didn't know it was eating disorder related though... I think this helped me realize wut I'm doing to myself, cus I have been losing a lot of weight. Thanks for helping me.

OMG my mom and I are addicted to the skinny lattes. I usually have a grande skinny vanilla, and my mom has a venti cinnamon dulce latte. I'm glad they changed it to skinny instead of having to say skim milk, sugar free... its a little embarrasing to me for some reason... anyways i'm kind of sick of the vanilla now so I might try the cinnamon dulce hehe

You don't just burn calories excersizing... you burn calories when your heart beats, when you breath, when your blood circulates, when you take tests, when your trying to stay up late....

how about a really nice dress that will show off your new slim figure :)
