people at school compliment me on my body all the time, but when i look in the mirror all i can see is every little bit of fat that wasnt there a year ago. i notice that i look disproportionate becuase my abdoman is super skinny but my thighs were the same size and my friend's (and she is clinically overwieght) and it makes me obsessed with things like that. i mean its always there in the back of my mind my wieght consiosness. im only a teen so i dont want to have to care all the time but it seems like the older i get and the more my mantabilism slows down i get more obessed. self image is running my life what do i do?
self image issuses, what to i do?

It sounds like you are obsessed with your weight. I had this same issue when I was in high school. You can't really compare your body to someone elses unless they are the same exact size as you. Is this person as tall as you? She might be shorter, and if she is then that would explain why her thighs are the same size as yours. But it's not just her thighs that make her overweight, so you shouldn't even worry about that. Your picture is of a beautiful girl, you won't appreciate your body until you accept this is how you look. It's called your natural body weight, it differs for everyone. If the scale says you're not over weight then you're not overweight. Take the compliments but don't get snotty about it. If more than one person says you look good, then it's true. So don't put yourself down. I hope this helps, and just be happy because you should know that a bunch of girls like the one you mentioned would kill to have a body and get compliments like you do
