Defining fatness
The story
How do you get if someone is fat? today's standards are shit and that much I know but I just cannot get how to get if I'm fat.
I struggle with seeing myself as fat, I know I'm probably not, my BMI says I'm not but I still see myself as that and I don't know how to fix this.
unfortunately because of this I feel self conscious wearing some clothes and I get really insecure when I see girls that are skinnier than me. literally if I wont weigh myself every day I'd get anxious and a couple of times to the point of a slight panic attack.
I know it's not healthy at 15 but I just don't know how to deal with it, because this just makes me feel guilty every time I eat, no matter if the food is healthy or not.

damn, this sounds rough. it's wild how much we let numbers and other people's opinions mess with our heads; your BMI says you're average but society's expectations can be stupidly skewed. you’re right about today's standards being totally off the mark. have you thought about shifting focus from weight to strength or health? that's more tangible than a number on a scale, plus it might help dial down those panic attacks. it's tough at any age but you've got time to figure out what’s best for you; hang in there!
The pressure society places on individuals to fit a certain image can be overwhelming, especially at your age when you're still figuring things out; maybe exploring activities that boost your self-esteem, like yoga or dance, could help you connect with your body in a healthier way and might shift your perspective from what you see in the mirror to how amazing it is that your body allows you to express yourself!
Honestly, sounds like you're getting too wrapped up in all the noise. 😒 BMI isn't always the perfect indicator, but it's better than obsessing over a daily number on a scale. You're 15 and have plenty of time to figure this out!! stop stressing yourself over what others think. Focus less on comparing with others and more on understanding your own body cues.
