I'm a fifteen year old girl. I really don't know what's wrong with me. It seems as if every mirror makes me look different and sometimes at different times. Sometimes I view myself as an average weight. But other times it just seems as though I was lying to myself the entire time and I am actually fat. I know I'm not obese, it's not an unhealthy weight or anything, just sometimes it looks as though my sides stick out too far, or my thighs are too big. I never became anorexic or bulimic or anything like that. I did start working out though, running, mostly. It does seem to make me feel better, like hope, hope that maybe I'll be skinny one day, but that doesn't last that long. I've been doing it for over half a year and I don't see the results. I'm not even that great of a runner. I only run about a mile a day, maybe if I ran more I would get results, I just get so tiered. I'm 125pd., 5'4 my measurements are 35-26-38. I don't know if that's good or not. When my mom was a teenager she was anorexic. Maybe my low self esteem is genes or maybe it's just a teenager thing, maybe it's the whole school thing, I find myself comparing myself to all the other girls, or maybe it's all of them.

At 15 i felt the same. i was constantly comparing myself to the people around me, convincing myself that they were better than me because they looked thinner, happier and 'better' than me, i stopped eating, exercised daily till the point of sickness or fainting. in 5 months i lost 5 stone (75 + pounds) went from a slightly chubby girl who was told she was pretty all the time to the girl who got openly told by friends,family,teachers,strangers that she looked a mess because her bones are sticking out, hairs falling out and skins so grossly pale and dry.
im telling you this so that you understand where these thoughts lead. You can either let them consume and destroy you or you can ignore them, focus on your good points and live a happier life.
You are just as good as anyone else regardless of how you look, just believe it!
Good luck :)
Dear, what's wrong with you is that you are fifteen. What you describe is a lot of the normal self doubts and issues felt by most all teen girls your age. You are still building an adult woman's body, and it's just going to take a while longer to see the finished product. In the meantime it will feel odd, you will feel odd. It's not about weight, it's learning to live the container you are in. You will feel a lot calmer if you learn to stop looking and comparing yourself with other girls. They are in the same boat as you, by the way. No doubt there are girls looking at you and wondering why they don't look so wonderful and perfect as you do. It's all in the eye of the beholder. What counts at the moment is that you are healthy and in fairly good physical condition. Nothing else. You do not need to look like the airbrushed models you see on magazines. Gee, we'd all look fantastic if we had makeup artists and fashion designers dressing us. Give everything a few more years to even out, and you will see things actually do workout. Trust me, I was fifteen once, and felt much like you do now. My eldest daughter went through it, I have another daughter in the midst of it now. All the same as you. It's a teen thing, and the reason why we are all so relieved when it's over. Try to focus on the things that are good about you, that you like about yourself. If you enjoy running, run- and don't worry about if it's making you look better. Generally when we do what we like doing, we look better naturally. For now, just hang in there. It does get better.
