dont worry about it. its always hard at your age to eat the right amount and to know whats the right weight for you as everyone is different and lots of your friends can probably eat all the food in the world and not put on any weight.
you still need to be careful what you eat and how much of it and regulate when you eat.. keep it healthy as well as it being a variety of different things. but remember you can also treat youself.. maybe keep a record of what you have eaten and any physical activities you've done each day. set a few targets and if you think you've done well each week or so you can have a treat. yeh this could mean food, but it could also mean a day out with friends or something!
secondly, your not overweight, trust me. when i was 12 i had to start taking this medicine which i still have to take now. a side effect is that you put on weight. for me i put on over 10kg (~1.5stone) in the first week alone. so very quickly i became overweight quite badly. it reached a point when i was 11stone! i was so depressed and felt terrible that i developed an eating disorder which has taken over my life, making it a living hell. i am now 15 and i still feel terrible.. im caught up in this circle and its impossible to let go.
eating disorders effect you in every way possible; mentally, physically, sociably, in confidence, tiredness, sickness, economically (for flushing loos so many times of buying loads of laxitives or pills), it makes you paranoid, angry and left alone all isolated because at times your not yourself and you can hurt others that you love even without realising it.
please dont get obsessed because it brings you the oppersite of happyness. perfection is impossible and im sure there are lots of people who love and care for you no matter what you look like. if you are still concerened, even slightly about your weight, fitness or wellbeing (eg. if your depressed) go and see your GP. as scary as it is, it really helps, only thing for me was that i told her a bit too late ~ but lates better than nothing. they can give you food and excercise plans and tips and they come up with lots of ideas to help you think more posssitively. for example, my doctor once got me to get a notebook and draw a big smiley face on one side and a dustbin on the other. at the end of each day i would have to write up all the bad stuff in the back and i would have to try and think of more happy good moments or even jokes or kind gestures made towards me in the front. this helped me evaluate my days in a less biast way~ when im angry i only see the bad stuff. but just to remind you.. the doctors can't force you to do anything.. you will have to want it yourself!
you can do it hun x
all the best of luck, you can talk to me anytime =]]
