any of you feel this way

ok i know im only 15 and i weigh 120 lbs and im 5'4, i feel realy fat and im trying to lose at least 10 lbs. im in sports, and i eat fairly healthily, i just don't understand why i can't lose weight, and what do you do when your really hungry but u already ate and you don't wanna eat again? does anyone else feel this way??

At your height and weight you are far from fat! Forget losing 10 lbs and work on strength training to build some muscle, which will lead to you looking and feeling slimmer

I felt fat the entire time I was in middle school and high school.  Honestly, most people do. If you are active and you eat well, you are more than fine.  I don't think i've weighed 120 since I was in 8th grade!

I agree that working on strength training is a good idea for you.  You don't really need to lose weight but toning up is never bad...and it will change the distritbution of your weight.

Doodle gurl - I think one of the reasons you may be feeling "fat" even though you aren't is that your body is right smack in the middle of changing from a child to an adult.  There will be weird moments where your different body parts may seem all out of proportion but that will change as you continue to mature.  Stay active, eat healthy, work on strength training if you want to, but don't start worrying about losing weight in the foreseeable future unless you ballon up to 140 or so.

So many teen girls (well females above the age of 5 in general these days..) say they"feel fat."  Look, doodlegurl, you're 15 (<---fast metabolism), you're at very healthy weight, you're active, you look great in your picture, and you've already started eating healthier.  You sound like you're living a very healthy lifestyle.  PLEASE don't start focusing on the scale and let it screw this up for you.  Already, you're  talking about not wanting to eat again "when your really hungry." IT IS NORMAL FOR A GROWING TEENAGE GIRL WHO IS ACTIVE TO GET HUNGRY.  If you're feeling more hungry than usual and you haven't lost any weight this may indicate that your metabolism is slowing down because your new "healthy" diet isn't supplying your body with enough calories.  Im curious: What are you currently eating on a daily basis?  What do the calories add up to? Do you skip meals? I'm only asking this out of concern because when I was younger, just a little older than you actually, I became obssessed with my weight, excercise, and food because I'd never liked how I looked and I thought it would make me feel better about myself.  In truth, all this obsession did was make me MORE critical of myself, less loving towards myself, and more and more distant from everyone and everything I loved and enjoyed before.  Its a waste of time.

If I could turn back time for myself when I was about 120 (I'm 5'5" so we have pretty similar bodies), I would've focused on strength training like girlfighting27 and rwnorth suggested. Think about it: instead of just losing weight, you could lose some fat and gain some muscle.  Your body could end up weighing more (muscle is heavier than fat), but you'll probably look and feel a lot more confident with yourself because of the new strength of your healthy and toned body; and you'll know that it was all from your hard work too.  With your new strength, you'll probably get way better at your sports too. 

I know you probably think I'm just going on and on, but, please, take care of yourself; you look so healthy and strong in your picture...don't take these things for granted.

First of all, you look great!!

Secondly, I definitely felt the same way when I was your age (still do). I'm also around 120 and I'm 5'5 and I would love to lose 10lbs. However, I'm trying not to obsess. The best thing to do is to remain active (give your body the movement it deserves!) which you are already doing which is great. Keep eating healthy and definitely strength tone and any fat that needs to come off will! Just don't think about it too much or obsess, it will come on its own. It's easy to become obsessed with the scale, but focus more on how you feel. I'm being a total hypocrit here but I'm trying to take my own advice.

As for being hungry, drink lots of water! A big glass everytime you begin to feel hungry (it could just be thirst). Spread out your meals throughout the day and eat small portions more often. Snack on fruit, raw veggies, whole wheat crackers etc. I never get hungry if I eat something healthy every 3 hours and lots of water/tea in between!

Good luck! :)
