SUBJECT: Hey, im a lil insecure about how i look...size wise...
We watched an anorexic video today in health class and at the end of it everyone was telling me and these two other people how we should gain weight because we are so skinny...but each time i eat or anything it feels like i have the appetite of a killer whale. Oh yea, im in highschool by the way, and i am 14 and i just reachd the big 100 pounds...but everyone else is around 115 maybe more...
You cant see my ribs or anything...In fact, you really cant find my hip bones or see my entire back bone and shoulders either, but when you look at me...i just look skinny. Im 5'2 and i just started lifting wieghts, but i am barely fitting into an A-cup and i am wondering if i will ever grow to even be half the size of any of the girls in my grade. Got any advice or having the similar problem?
Its so embarrasing eating almost 4-5 meals a day and not being able to pass as a normal wieght for a teenager. Im so pitiful i might as well celebrate for qualifying for the 13+ adult tylenol bottle wieght.
