I feel like I am fat. I am 5'3-5'4 and I am 116 pounds, I am also 13 years old. Am I fat? I sometimes starve myself for about a month with only water and some cheese crackers. I went to the doctors, and she said that I might have an eating disorder. I always think I am fat,ugly or what ever else can think of. I am a competitive cheerleader, so I HAVE to be skinny or I will look bad in the reveling uniform. I feel fat around my friends, and my family. My mom is 5'7 and she is 130, and I am almost the same weight as her. Any suggestions/help? I am sorry if this wasn't a really thought out way to ask this question. Any answers are helpful. Be honest on your opinion. I can take any criticism. Thanks.
 
It sounds like you do have an eating disorder. You are at a normal weight for your height. But if you do not eat enough calories then you can actually gain weight. I know it sounds weird but you are lowering your metabolism by not eating enough so when you do eat, it will all be stored as fat. So you need to start eating right to keep your metabolism where it should be.
 
You need to get professional help. You are hurting yourself... starvation is very bad for anyone, ESPECIALLY at an age when you are still growing and developing. You are at a normal, healthy weight for your height and age. You definitely have a problem, and you need to get help NOW.
 
you are definitly not fat. and yes, it sounds like you do have an eating disorder. if you are a cheerleader, then you probably have alot a muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat, so keep that in mind. you probably have more muscle than much of your family. other than having an eating disorder, you are healthy. your weight is PERFECT for you height, and you are not done growing.
 
YOU ARE NOT FAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

omigosh though I know exactly what you are going through I am soo frickin concerned about not eating and stuff because I vowed to not ever get fat and stuff for me so i was so preoccupied about thinking about what not to eat and stuff so you should no that there are others out there like you (me) and you arent actually fat your brain is just tricking you into thinking that you are. um yeah i hope that helped. and by the way your mom should be telling you this, not random ppl from internet
