Ok so Im new at this but here goes. Im 17 and my mom always keeps telling me Im fat. Since i go to a boarding skl in the states i only see her in Dec for about two months and the first thing she said to me last time was, you've put on weight. and ok, im not your avergae joe skinny girl. I have big bones, i'll admit it. and my arms are flabby, but im a size twelve (UK size) and so i dont think thats too fat really. Plus all my friends always tel me im fine the way I am right now (except some girly friends who tel me im fat as well but nm). It really sucks that my mom keeps labouring on it SHe used to be the skinniest girl in class and her biggest disappointment is that Im not. Im a straight A student and all so im really trying to make her happy but i cant change the way i am built. Recently i stated smoking to stop food cravings and im even thinking of buying pills or making myself throw up. i know its unhealthy but i just dnt know what to do - i already exercise and run daily =(
