I'm so fat I don't know what to do?

Your Open Question: I don't know what to do I feel so fat? I'm 17 years old and I have a large frame because it's genetic. I'm 5'7 140 pounds an my measurements are 36C-28-38 and while it sounds like my waist is big, I have to admit that sometimes it doesn't look like that at all. I do have a tiny waist but I feel so fat because in clothes stores nowadays all they have are sizes 0, 1,or 3. And no matter how much weight I try to lose I will never be a size 3 unless I become anerexic because that's not my body structure and a lot of people don't understand that. My family always tells me that I have a great body and they swear I'm nowhere near fat and even my mom always tells me what she would give in the world to have my body but I just don't see it. Sometimes when I bring home clothes and they don't fit my mom tries to tell me that it's a cheap store and the clothes don't run true to size but I beg to differ. I feel like my mom and some people can't see the fact that I'm big and fat. I wish I had a little girl's body like Kate Moss. I want to be anerexic. What should I do?

Are you kidding? Fat? You're maybe 10, 15 lbs overweight, if that. That's certainly not even close to fat. I'm sure you look quite nice. Do NOT wish to be anorexic, or something you want. Anorexia is a disease. It kills people and destroys lives. You must learn to be happy with who you are instead of wishing to be something you're not. That way lies great unhappiness and disappointment.

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then that makes me a burning truck filled with TNT hurtling through a rocket fuel depot.

5'7", 140 pounds is far from being "so fat".  You are a bit overweight and should attend to that but you are sure not in a "big problem".  Don't even mention the word "Anorexia".  That is a mental disease that can be fatal !.  From your notes it is clear that you don't love (hate ?) yourself (or at least how you look). That is BAd because that is what you transmitte (and other people receive it in there senses !).  You MUST start loving yourself !.... accept yourself as you are.  That alone will make wonders !.  Start wirth a new healthy balance diet to reduce (gradually !) your weight.  Do some exercises to shape your body.  Smile smile smile and the world will start smiling to you too.   Please adopt an optimistic approach to life.  I have a deep feeling (intuition) that actually you are looking very good (and only think it is not enough) just as you think that you are "so fat".   True ?

Stephanie you are not fat!!! Your Mom is right about clothing. Lots of clothes are made in China, India, and all over the world now. You have to look at the label to see where it's made. The sizes are different, you can't go by the labels any longer because they are not like an American made garment is made. I have experience in the clothing line and know how they are labeled. American made designer clothes are made to standards we are familiar with. Take care of yourself by eating properly and getting the right amount of rest.
