[PassingSmile]

when i look in the mirror all i can see is fat. i'm 5'3" and 14 years old and i weigh 112 lbs. my friends think i should lose weight too. i really want to lose 10 lbs fast cause next weekend i'm going to the beach. can anyone tell me a diet to get rid of fat fast?

good grief, you are definitely not fat. for your age and height you are just perfect. your friends are wrong in telling you that you are fat. you should worry less about your weight and more about the company you are keeping.

be happy with yourself

Being fat

Well passing smile, from my experience when you think you're fat you usually are. So stop wondering what your friends and other people think, and do something about it!

Frank, it is guys like you who perpetuate the emaciated, unhealthy image of what women, and in this case, children should look like. Have you ever heard of bad body image? Are you aware of eating disorders that stem from people having a warped sense of how fat they are - thinking they are fat, when really they are extremely thin?

Maybe you should try to be a little more understanding and supportive.

Hmm, it sounds like you are treading on a fine line of an eating disorder and it sounds like your friends are feeding your insecurites. Looking in the mirror and seeing yourself as fat when you aren't is called body dsymorphia, its common in people who have anorexia ..... I am not a doctor, but being that I struggle with anorexia myself I know how it is to look in the mirror and see someone starring back at me who is just so FAT .....

Wanting to lose 10 lbs when you are already thin is another red flag to me ...... If you ever want to talk with me, Please do so. I have been struggling with anorexia for almost two years now. I've been in two inpatient hospitals and an intensive outpatient program. Trust me, eating disorders are not GLAMROUS. They take EVERYTHING away from you and when you are deathly thin all you see is a disgusting failure staring back at you.
