why is it that i always seem to see my self as fat?

even thought i know I am not really ‘fat’.
my friends and many people tell me I’m skinny, yes i have my sisters who love to annoy me and say I’m fat (don’t think they mean it… i think) but sometimes when i look at the mirror i just see my self as… big!
I’m actually small - I’m 4″8
do my eyes play tricks on me, or I’m just worried about my weight which makes me think that or maybe i rely am?? -.-
its frustrating since i have eating problems (due to stress and other problems) and hardly eat anyways so this doesn’t help and i try not to think about not losing weight but it just wont leave my mind. I have to stop seeing my self as ‘fat’ i guess.
that or i need a distraction.

I am very bad for this but much more with an eating problem! even I know you can move on from it i find it makes it worse thinking like that when people who are around you go on about weight, to me it made me feel like I had to keep being this slim so they say just so I wouldn’t hear the opposite. I struggle but think of it as you get one life do you want to worry about image or want to live life to the full and be who you are? and also go on you tube listen to TLC unpretty!! I play that everytime I have my bad days for some reason the words sink in alot…

thanks, I’ll listen to it. your comment is quiet comforting. although my eating problem is not really about people around me going on about weight (well its kind of part of it) but actually from stress i stop eating, i can last days without food but its still not healthy.
thanks again for replying :)
