I'm twelve years old and I feel fat
When I was about 10 I got really chubby, then all the way through year 7 I wuldent eat much, my parents wuld give me stuff to take to school but I would just throw it out, I wuld only eat when I was at home when my family was watching.
So I lost a whole heap of weight
But now when I eat at school I come home and I feel really fat, I look a bit chubbyer as well even though I don't weigh more.
I use to be able to see some of my ribs but I can't anymore.
I have also made myself vomit a couple of times.
I feel like I maby shuld put on some weight because everyone is telling me 2 but when I do I just feel fat and not good about myself
The only way I can ever feel good about myself is when I'm really skinny and when I look really skinny

I'm 12 and 167cm and I weigh 45.1kg's do I need to lose any weight:confused:

Right firstly vomiting is not going to solve your weight, its just going to cause more problems for you physically and mentally. Its very unhealthy.

What you have to conisder, is you are still SO young, you are still growing.

Really skinny people to most people look sickly. Very skinny people are unhealthy and to me personally look like clothes on a hanger walking, if u get my point.

Darling I'm 5ft 4, which is 167cm and I weigh 51kilos... that is the right weight for people our height, you are under weight...

STOP dieting and eat healthily.

In my honest opinion I think you should bring this up to your parents and convince them to give you help. Mainly because a) you already have an eating disorder or b) you are starting to develop one, either way the help you need will not be attained on this board. And honestly get help as soon as possible, the longer you wait the harder it becomes to right yourself. AND IT CAN BE FATAL. Doing what you are saying, will eventually lead to serious medical problems and likely death. I see it all the time people starve themselves, because they have a bad body image. You have to work that out in you head and then your body will follow through accordingly and that will only come when you get professional help. So please for your own life, seek help.

Nope, you aren't fat.
Trust me, hon. I know fat. :(

I know exactly how you feel except I'm slightly older than you are. I developed an eating disorder when I was around 16 because I felt fat, and to be honest I was pretty fat, I became 6 stone and my height 5"1,everyone noticed my ribs, but I felt better about myself, and healthier than I had done in a long time. But my mum got worried about me and threatened to put me on a drip, which I didn't want to do so she helped me start eating properly again, now I'm 7stone and although I feel fat, I keep eating because I don't want to put my family through that again.
You have to see how much something like this can hurt the people that love you most, you're family will help you through it, you just need to ask for it?
