Is it normal to have an overwhelming fear of getting fat?
I'm 18 Im 5'3" tall and I weigh about 130 pounds. I know I'm not fat, but for some reason I feel like I should weigh less. Whenever my boyfriend goes to pick me up I'm always afraid he's going to think I'm heavy. I mentioned this to him and he thinks it's completely ridiculous. He has never made any kind of comments or anything to make me feel this way, but I can't help it. I'm also afraid to eat a lot and I put myself on this pattern or eating about once a day, sometimes two. I know this isn't healthy, but I just can't help myself. When I do eat I'm hardly even hungry enough to finish what is on my plate. Is this normal?
