I feel fat


Check these out, too...

  • Why do people set me up with guys I don't like?
  • I can't stop tearing my hair out--help!
  • 3 times it's OK to tell your bestie's secret
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
I don’t feel good about my weight. People tease me, and I feel like a beast. We are going on a cruise this summer, so I need to get into a bikini. I don’t think I can do it. I’ve tried pills, and now I’m thinking of not eating at all. Help!

Dear I feel FAT,
 
The goal is not to be super skinny but to be fit and feel good about your body. Pills and starvation are terrible ideas—discuss this with a parent, teacher, counselor or doctor. You can eat healthfully. Cut back on fries, sweets and seconds. Eat smaller portions. Drink water, not soda. Keep fruits and veggies around, and as the family shopper to leave junk snacks in the store. If you do this and exercise, you’ll get results. And don’t obsess about a bikini. Try on lots of swimsuits and buy the one that’s the most flattering. 

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

Hey, I'm new to this entire thing and I've already found it helpful to see that I'm not the only one going through series of problems.
I do feel very fat. My little sister is always telling me so. The last time I went to go and see my father he asked me when I was going to start loosing weight. I haven't told anyone about what he said to me because of the fact that I'm the type to keep my feelings bottled up. And since finding this website I feel more confident to write my feelings to people I don't even know

I feel fat to, even though I'm at a healthy weight. But today was my first day at school and people picked on my weight and my skin because I'm the only one with zits. I am now crying and I think I'm starting to develop anorexia because I sometimes just DON'T want to eat. I am the only girl in school who doesn't have somebody who has a crush on them. Help please!

 

First off I am willing to bet you one million dollars you're not the only one who has no one crushing on them. It always feels like youre alone, but youre not. I promise you that girly. I didnt have my first kiss or boyfriend until Eleventh grade! Also you are not fat! You just hit puberty early and are developing before the other girls. Give it time. Everything will get better hon. Just promise to stay healthy and eat well. Things will balance out and get better. Promise. xoxo kerra

i feel fat and i look fat sometimes i try to find my mmoms spanx and wear them to school,but i cant find them so i just suck my stomach in.People call me fat sometimes and i act like it doesnt effect me but it does and I wonder why i get called fat but those who are bigger than me dont. But the thing that is weird to me is im popular and nice and i have high self esteem and everything but they pick on me not not those who are bigger than i and have lower self esteem

Ok first you always need your energy so Dont not eat thats very unhealthy. You can always exersise. Eat healthy foods. Also if you think it would help put a message out there and say you are hurting me by teasing me please stop. Hope this helps!

I'm twelve and weigh 130 pounds. I've talked to my doctor about it and she says it's just the way I'm built. I have big bones. She said I can't really do much about it as long as I eat healthy and play sports. I'm a prett good softball player, I can run a mile faster than some of the boys in my class, but I'm still fat. Then there's my mom, she's always saying that I need excercise and she's even called me fat a couple of times. But I do excercise, I'm the only girl in the seventh grade that works out at a gym more than three times a week. People aren't really mean to me, so I can't say I know everything about that. So, if you just excercise and eat okay, than it's no biggie.
