Do I have some sort of a body image problem ?

OK , I keep on thinking I am fat , even though I am not b/c I am about 5'10" and weigh 115lbs . Even at school I get so embrassed to walk in the hallways because I think people are always staring at how fat I am . Recently I just grew alot b/c I used to be 5'4" and weigh 115 lbs , and before when I was at that height I used to be kind of fat . I was wondering if this problem is associated with my recent height gain ? ( I am 14years old and still growing ?) .

I think every teenage girl is somewhat insecure... I know I am! I think you are fine, BETTER than fine, and you have nothing to be embarassed about. Put it this way, I, like you, am 14. I weigh only ten pounds less, but am 9 inches shorter, and -I'm-not fat! So you definitely aren't. If people are staring at you, they're probably wishing they could look like you!
Reply:First of all you were NOT fat when you were 5'4" and 115#. You have some distorted body image problems but so long as you watch this you will be fine. If it ever progresses then seek help for it. Since you are now 5'10" you are actually very thin for your height. Keep a close eye on your mental image of your body and if it gets out of line at all get help immediately.
Reply:WOW....I wish I was 5'10" and 115 lbs (it's genetically impossible for me though...zoops!)





You are NOT fat. But, I do think it is normal for you to be feeling this way. When you are that age, tons of emotions and feelings are going through your head. I remember when I was 14..I was paranoid that I was fat as well..I was about 5'8" 150..which is not fat for my body type (i'm not going to comment about mine now! LOL)





If you are feeling really overwhelmed by this, you should tell your parents, and maybe they can set you up with someone to talk to about this.
