I am 13 years old. I am 5 feet and six inches tall. I weigh 187 pounds. When I look in a mirror, I alomost break down and cry. Everyone tells me that I am perfect. But I don't believe it. People say that since I'm smart it shouln't matter to me what I look like. I think that comment is an insult. Since I last looked in a mirror about an hour ago, i've been thinking if becoming anorexic is the answer to solve my problem. Someone please help!

i am also 13 standing at 5'6, a healthy weight for this height is around 125-130, hard to maintain but if you have enough drive to look good you'll get to it eventually. so limit your portions and do more excersize, because it is possible !!!!! DO NOT BECOME ANOREXIC IT WONT HELP YOU AT ALL

I feel your pain, my friends tell me the same thing. But anorexia is not the answer it will only hurt your body rather then help you.I have thought about the same thing.

I partially understand what you are going through because even though I don't way as much as you. I know because I myself was wishing that I was anorexic. But that is not right because first of all you can't get anorexic because it is a disease that you cannot catch, and when you start getting severly anorexic you end up in a hospital with a tube feeding food through your nose. I think that your parents/family are wrong because being overweight can harm your health, if you talk to your doctor he will more than likely tell you that you are overweight or obese. Since you have a lot of weight to lose you should your goals range from 5-10 pounds instead of saying you have to lose 50 pounds. Good luck!
