my sister thinks she is fat. she is 13, she is 5'3 and 120 pounds. is she? she used to have bulimia so all of this is concerning me.
That's a normal height and weight. It's also normal for somebody who has recovered or is recovering from bulimia to still have body image issues. It could be a sign of relapse, but it may not be. Do your parents know about her eating disorder?
That's thin. She's tiny. Have you gotten her help ? Bulimia can have adverse psychological effects on some one suffering from it or some who who did in the past. It's important that you help her realize what a healthy body image is and that the social concepts of beauty are unrealistic and skewed.
Her BMI is 21.3, meaning right in the middle of the normal range.
However.
I am 5 feet 7 and 107 pounds, making me underweight, but I still often feel fat. Almost all people do not like how they look one way or another.
No, my parents don't know. But I got her through it.... she still complains every day and now she is going on a new diet... she says she only wants to eat a few bites of every meal. And she only ate salad and a clementine yesterday. Today we had a lemonade and cookies sale in our yard today and she logged out on the cookies cause no one was buying... then I caught her throwing them all up and I ran up to her and hugged her. I just don't know what to do
