Feeling fat

0

Ever since this incident I’ve had where I went 2 months being paranoid about being pregnant, I haven’t stopped checking my stomach and weight. I genuinely can’t go a day without feeling my stomach, it feels horribly bloated and I hate it. Before the incident, I was really happy with the appearance of my stomach. I was really happy with my weight, too, although I knew I was underweight. Then after the incident, I gained a little weight to now being 8 stone (which made me think I’m pregnant, I’m not.) and my stomach is no longer as flat as it used to be, at least I don’t think it is, but I might just be imagining things due to the extreme anxiety I’m feeling about the incident. I’m so determined to go back to my old weight that I feel like I could go back to starving myself, I know that’s not a good idea but I’m hopeless.
Also, I’m only like 15, I know that me gaining weight is probably just my puberty being a pain in the back side, and deciding I’ve had enough of a flat stomach and fast metabolism.
I don’t want to end up falling into some sort of eating disorder, but I feel like I’ve already hooked myself onto one and I’m obsessed over my weight already.
Please help me.

I know that gaining weight for a teenager isn't really what we want. But it's just that, weight. Whether the weight is from fat or from protein, it's something that can be controlled. Now, an eating disorder cannot be controlled. So why pick starving yourself rather than just changing a few eating habits & incorporate some exercise. I'm don't mean to sound..judgy but It's a genuine question :) Your far too young to feel like your out of options for losing weight. & although losing weight the healthy way may take a little longer, it's also going to be much more worth it in the end. Take care, & i hope this has helped at least a bit <3
