I see everyone in school really skinny. And i am fat.

I feel so gross over my body. I am wondering what does it feel like to be skinny and can wear short sleeves and shorts without worrying you'd look fat. My friends all have small arms and thighs. I tried to skip every single meal I could. But i am still fat. I told my parents that i feel fat of my body. They agreed and told me to keep on dieting. But I can't. I hardly lost weight and easily gain. It was awful.

After P.E.we all change our clothes in the classroom. I was however sad of myself for being such a fat whale in between the skinny girls. I want to have a body like them. So i tried. Some people I trusted knew that i am anorexic, but they didn't seem to believe me because i don't look like one. But we all have to know that anorexia is NOT a body type.

Some people said that i am fat too. Including my mom. Really, including her. Is there something wrong ofbeing fat? Why does being bigger than other people make you thrown out?

I want to tell you that every each of you is perfect. Please, if you're having the same problem do realize i am on the same boat. Don't be afraid to chat.

I'm anorexic as well. I agree, anorexia is NOT a body type. I am overweight for my age, by a lot. I often go to school and skip meals because the pain of having thick thighs, thick arms, and a bulging stomach. And I am not skinny at all. I am with you, being overweight in a school atmosphere is not fun at all, there is a lot of people who think you should be to the 'standards', skinny and 'beautiful'.

I tell you, you are beautiful no matter what. It doesn't matter what other people think, do what makes you happy, and if being a certain weight is what you have, then put it to good use and prove to everyone that you CAN be overweight and absolutely gorgeous. Don't let something like weight be a barrier to your happiness. Break free from your society's bonds, and love YOU for WHO YOU ARE.

Remember, sometimes all you need is some understanding. If they are not willing to step out of their own shoes and understand YOUR situation, then let them be themselves. See how happy they will be in life. :)

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, BE STRONG! ;)

I went through a time that I was skipping meals and working out like CRAZY, but I wouldn't go as far as to say I was anorexic. Anyway I always felt so much bigger than my teensy friends. But what works better than not eating at all is eating healthy foods. Skip chips and go for some strawberries or carrot sticks. It fills you up, keeps you nourished, and you will fill seek SO MUCH better by eating healthy than not eating at not all. If you want to lose weight then eat healthier and take runs around the block or workout at a gym. No matter what remember that you are beautiful and you look the way you do for a reason. It could also be lingering baby fat. My best friend dropped like 20 pounds without even trying and now she's trying to gain weight lol. But hey good luck!
