I don't know if I'm fat or thin... People say that I'm thin, but I've had people who tell me that I'm fat, too... I'm eleven years old, going on 12; and I weigh a whopping 90 pounds. My mom says stuff like, "For Your Body Type, 90 pounds is a good weight..." But I don't buy it, sense my boyfriend weighs about 65 pounds. I'm not eating very much at school, for lunch: like a smoothie, 3 mozerella sticks, exedera... Taylor {my boyfriend} thinks I'm going anorexic... But I know that I'm not... Mostly everyday, I weigh myself on my mom's scale... What should I do? I want to be thin, and my goal is to be 60 pounds at the maximum. I think it might make a difference if you know my height; last time I was at the doctor's office, I was 5 ft. - Nutmeg - 2006-10-22
