Is it normal to only have "skinny" on your mind 24/7?

for a while now, all i have had on my mind is "i have to be skinny" and "your too fat, not skinny enough" or "don't eat that food. you don't want to be fat". that's all I've been thinking all day everyday. like, yes, of course i want to be skinny, but doesn't everyone? i feel the need that i HAVE to be skinny, else no one will like me.
i NEED a thigh gap. I'm unattractive.
i don't know why i feel like this but i do and i need to understand why.
so... can anyone help me understand? please...its eating me up...

    Education is probs the best thing to do. Any articles by nutritionists, exercise scientists etc. Fads leave you faint, then fat. Exercise and Nutrition.
    Or find the book of Jumanji.

    I have no idea what you look like, but please be careful. There´s nothing wrong with wanting to keep your weight in line and eat healthy, fuck I think everyone should!

    But it´s so easy to take it too far ... Don´t starve yourself, you can skip junk-food, candy and drink only water. Cut down on carbs and add vegetables instead, don´t snack too late in the evening and take at least a 30 minute walk every day.

    Keep in mind that the models you see are NOT REAL BODIES. I try to never compare myself with anyone I havent:
    Seen IRL.
    Seen without makeup.

        You chave a few options...I'd suggest therapy or hypnosis. I used to feel obsessed with weight but after going through serious stuff beyond looks.
        Also realize that its more of a self esteem issue or a control issue because no matter how skinny you get you will probably never be satisfied.

    While I'm not an expert and I don't know what the official diagnostic criteria for anorexia are, it sure sounds like some kind of eating or body image disorder to me.

        Yeah...you dont think so? You just said that you purge the food you eat afterwards when you do manage to eat. That sounds like a problem to me. Like I said above what can we say here to stop you from what you are doing already now anyways? You are going to continue doing whatever you are doing regardless. You should probably try and seek help from a professional or a support group...not some obscure site where people just troll others. Unless you just like having negative attention thrown upon yourself.
