It's never enough

I'm 16 and about 5' 4" and I used to weigh somewhere around 115 and 120 lbs. I recently became a vegetarian (for animal rights reasons, not health but the weight loss is an added bonus) and lost around 10 lbs, so now I weigh somewhere around 105.

Sometimes I feel really happy about my new body and I like it, but then other times I'm just still so unhappy. I feel like I could lose 20 more lbs and it would never be enough. I always want to feel skinnier.
And also because other thing will always bother me that I CAN'T change. I'll always be flat chested (which pisses me off) and I'll never look like my sister (which is frustrating for me - she's gorgeous)

I feel healthy and glad that i lost the weight but now I'm sooo nervous about gaining it back. I get really frustrated with myself when I eat a lot and have even (in moments of built-up guilt/frustration) tried purging (it hasn't worked so far). Every time I look in the mirror I check every inch of me to make sure I don't look like I've gained any weight ANYWHERE. And whenever I eat a lot, it's like I can FEEL myself gaining weight. It's become an obsession.

I know I'm spewing a lot of problems here but I guess I just feel like i have schizophrenia when it comes to my body. Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I hate it SO MUCH. I wish I could just be happy with how I am now, and stop worrying about it.

Re: It's never enough

I don't wanna say you're underweight, but being 5'4 and 105lbs you might look a bit too skinny, but i've never seen a picture.. I honestly think you probably have nothing at all to worry about, 115lbs is skinny, but I know no matter what people tell you, you won't believe them. I'm sorry if any of this sounds rude, but even if you gained 10lbs you'd still be skinny.

I have the same problem though, people say i'm skinny and stuff and I honestly don't think I am, I hate my stomach and stuff :|

I would really consider getting a whole new wardrobe and find clothes that fit your body, that might be some of the problem.

Re: It's never enough

it doesn't sound rude at all.
I think that's my issue - I'm always suspicious of what people tell me. I always think they are just being nice if they say I look good.

I really notice that I have the most problems with my appearance when my sister's around. I know it's not her fault she's prettier than me and it's not like she rubs it in my face, but I'm ALWAYS comparing myself to her and I never measure up. No matter how nice I look, if she's around, she'll always look better.

yeah most of my pants are too big and it makes me feel fatter. -_-' lol
but I'm so sensitive when I shop. if one pair of pants in my size doesn't fit me I worry I've gained weight, even if deep down i know that's completely illogical! I'm crazy!

p.s.
I hate my stomach too! I always get grossed out when it expands after I eat.

gah I'm so whiny, I'm sorry.

Re: It's never enough

Everyone wants something that they can't have. It's human nature. What you should be concerned about is what is healthy for you. I've been torturing myself since I was little about being skinny. And now, I'm happy at where I'm at, I'm 5'8" and weigh 150, I still wish I was 120lbs or less. You should look up to your sister, not put her looks on a pedestal, besides women look best in their thirties. Just look at some celebs. Good luck with everything!
