Why is it everything says I've lost a buch of weight but when I look in the mirror it says I've gained a bunch of weight???

Since late May early June I've lost 15 pounds but I don't feel any skinnier I feel fatter. My stomach is discusting. I only have 9 pounds tell I reach my goal but I can tell I'm going to need to lose A LOT more than that! Wich is scary because my goal is 132 because that's the lowest I can go for my height but I know I'm going to continue because I'm fat as can be. It's scary because I'm going to have to be under weight. But I guess at this point I don't care I would rather be under weight than the weight I am now because at least I would be skinny. I just wan a flat stomach!!!!

In late May or early June when I started trying to lose weight I was 5 foot 10 and 156 pounds I am now 5 foot 10 and 141 pounds I still have 9 pounds to go. It's actualy really hard to believe I only have 9 pounds to go because I'm now in the single digits and I still need to lose A LOT more weight I'm Sooo fat. I'm wondering how under weight I'm going have to go to he skinny enough and have a flat stomach!

All my clothes are beginning to be to big. A pair of dress pants I bought the summer befor grade 9 so summer 2008 are way to big on me. I fit into an outfit I bought in 2007 in grade 7 a shirt that I got for chrismas in 2008 that was to small last year fits me again I'm now in grade 11 and am 16 years old. So all my clothes are starting to not fit anymore but still I feel fatter than ever I don't get it???

Everyone says it looks like I've lost a lot of weight and that they don't think I should lose anymore. My sister keeps saying I have no fat on me wich is lie but my friend says she thinks I'm a twig and that I do have a flat stomach wich is what I really want to have a flat stomach but I don't I look like I'm pregnant. I hate it!!!!

I just don't get it why is it the scale says I've lost weight my clothes say I've lost weight everyone says I've lost weight everything says I've lost weight but I feel like I've gained a bunch of
weight I feel fat as ever???

I actualy keep finding myself telling myself the scale is lieing it's wrong. That can't be right. I'm the fatest thing alive. And that everyone just doesn't want to hurt my feeling so they say I'm skinny even though I'm clearly FAT

If the scale says you are dropping and in the mirror you are clearly not seeing it look into BDD (body dismorphic disorder) it is more common among anorexics and bulimics, but it doesn't sound like you are too far from that. Maybe taking tape measurements and seeing the inches go down will help, but if you are wanting to change a doctor would probably be best.

I think you have an obsession. You've said before that you think your weight is the only thing about yourself that you can fix, that your parents can't take it away from you.

What are you doing to lose the weight? You say you don't like eating because all you see is a pile of fat. That is unhealthy. I really think you should see a doctor because obsessions like this can and will lead to eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.

If you have a family doctor, book an appointment with him or her. Tell them how you're seeing things and what you feel. They will be able to point you in the direction of additional help.
