MOD MOD MOD!! Please help. I'm 12, almost 13 and i feel like im the fattest girl in the world. Everytime i look in the mirror, i pick myself apart and look at all the bad things. My mom says im fine, but i dont believe that. I have low self esteem and absolutely NO confidence in myself. Life is tough for me, i compare myself to others. Last time i went to the doctors i weighed about 127 pounds. I have no idea what i weigh now, but i think im really fat. Please help or answer, just anything! Last year, i had to have talks with my teacher about confidence and believing in myself. i still feel the same way. all my friends were sharing weight one day, and they are all under 100 pounds, I didnt share my weight. I have tried going on diet, and eating nothing but its difficult. I just wanna fit in, and not be fat. Please help. Thanks.

 

Hey girl, I am so sorry to hear about the confidence problems - I know it is really hard when you just don't feel good about yourself.  First off, dieting or not eating won't make you be healthier or feel better.  The right thing to do is take care of your body and yourself, inside and out.  That includes working on your confidence so you can realize what a great gal you are!  Try recognizing the things you do like about yourself, and don't put pressure on yourself to be perfect.  I think it's also really important for you to talk with an adult you trust - like a parent or counselor - who can support you while you work through this.  You are an awesome girl, so hang in there and things can get better! 

MOD**** I am about 5'5 and I weigh like 137lbs... we do this thing called kids quest last year and when i got my results when i was 5'2 and weighed about 130 it said my weight was in the like 86th percentile... am i overwiehgt???

 

Hey girl, Every body is different, so even what a test tells you doesn't necessarily mean anything about what's right for your bod.  As long as you are taking care of your bod, that's what matters.  Your weight will change a lot as you're growing up, so taking care of yourself  - not a number on the scale or test result - is really what matters. 

MOD MOD MOD!!!!! if I'm 12 and about 4 foot 11 inches and i way around 105lbs. is that good or bad??? honestly...
