Is it weird that I feel this way about my body?

I'm terrified of getting something like a double chin, a stomach that sticks out through my top or something like that. I basically feel all the time that I'm fat, and my friends always tell me that I'm not. The thing is, i do have a bit of a gut but it doesn't stick out through my tops, and I don't have a double chin; but I'm always scared that it will happen.

I'm 13 years old, and I have been on a 'diet' for the past... 2 years? Maybe even 3 now. I don't have high confidence with how I look - I mean like, I don't like the way I look and I'm scared that if i get some of the things that I just wrote about ^, that I wouldn't be able to take it too well. I'm a really self concious person.

I know there are ways to prevent it, and I'm doing everything I can, but I sometimes get tired of watching what I eat all the time.

Is it weird that a 13 year old should feel this way about her body? Or is it okay?

I exercise for about 40 minutes on the treadmill a day, I watch what I eat, I go for long walks and do other exercise like hoola hoops or star jumps.

Thanks :)

x.

Update:

I'm also alot smaller than the girls in my school & etc, but I still feel I'm fat -_- I also weigh less than my 10 & 11 year old sister's... So... Yes?

    That's perfectly normal. Every teenage girl is like this. But most snap out of it when older. How much do you weigh and how tall are you? Really u shouldn't be worrying so much about ur body. Ur friends wouldn't call u skinny without reason. And what girl doesn't have a tiny gut. I mean I'm in shape and skinny but I'm still soft on my stomach. Keep in mind that hormones do bloat girls, especially during puberty.

    Seriously, stop worrying about your weight and looks. You will be a lot happier. Just stay away from those shitt factories like McDonald's and eat good food. Anyways, u exercises and that means ur healthy, and that's the most important thing. Realize that ur the only one that notices these little faults of urself. Like one of ur friends might think that all people see on her is a tiny freckle that is only seeable when up super close. Only she would notice since she is the one looking for something wrong with herself. Would u notice that tiny freckle and think shes ugly just for that freckle? I wouldn't think so. But that's what she would think. And that goes with how u view ur body. You see urself as fat when others see u as tiny, like u truly are. It's all in ur head and u just need to stop being so critical of urself like a Virgo.

    Let me tell you. When I was in 7th grade I thought I was fat even though everyone said I was a stick. I was so self conscious and would be afraid of swim suit season. A few years go by, and it's time for me to pick out clothes from my closet that no longer fit me to put in our rummage sale. I was digging and found this one red tiny shirt that I wore back in 7th grade. I remembered how I use to always cross my arms around my stomach when sitting down cuz I thought I had fat rolls that stuck out and ppl would think I was a fat asss. I thought to be skinny one had to have a 6 pack and I only had a 2 pack in the mornings. I try it on and damn, how did I ever fit in it?! I looked back at pictures and I WAS skinny. I was a frickn twig. How I thought I was fat? idk. I'm in 11th grade and I wish I was as skinny as I was back then but I'm ok with my size. Stupid growing boobs and hormones ;)

    My lil cousin is a skinny girl, but when she sits a tiny tummy sticks out. Can't even notice it unless u look hard. She's self conscious about it but when I see it it's like girl, ur tiny, u don't look fat AT ALL. It's just loose skin. She is really skinny and just cuz when she bends her belly it makes rolls she thinks she's chubby. It's perfectly normal to have tiny rolls when sitting down. Everyone has that. Even my two macho brothers that have those 6 packs and work out every day gets rolls when bending stomach.

    One of my best friends since diapers has always been bigger. She's not fat though. She doesn't have a belly or a double chin, she's just bustier and thicker skinned I guess. She works out like crazy being she's on danceline and those girls are super fit with all the conditioning they got to do everyday. She eats healthy and can't drink pop during the season. She's always saying how she's jealous of how skinny i am or others are. But see, NO ONE thinks she is fat or even chubby. She is gorgeous and could be a model but she can't see that. It's not good to compare urself to others. Cuz she's comparing her legs to mine, when I got chicken legs. It's not smart to compare to me, I have tiny limbs, it's genetics. Her dad was thicker I guess when he was kid, but when he got older all the weight just fell off without him even doing anything. Same happened to her mother.

    And about having a doule chin. Have u seen anyone that doesn't have a tiny bit of loose skin under their chin? I know this gorgeous girl who had a perfect body who graduated and she was so nice to talk to. Guess what she had? A double chin. But did anyone notice? no, not at all. It was actually cute cuz u could only see it when she squashed her chin back to her neck and it was just cute cuz it just so her if that makes sense.

    So don't worry!!! Be happy! What if Bill thought he was fat or ugly? That beautiful boy is a stick. That would be crazy of him to think that way and ur friends probably think the same of u for being so hard on urself. So don't say u are. There are more important things to keep ur brilliant mind on. Everything's gonna be fine as soon as u see things clearly. Past the problem and to the solution. People think ur beautiful for who u are and how u look so don't keep trying to change urself. Pinky swear :)

    I'm like this too. But a little difference. I don't stress about my diet so much. I eat but then when i get really full i start thinking im not gonna be able to stop eating and become obese.

    I don't know why this happens... im 14, skinny and tall. I exercise as well. And omg, when i weight myself and i see that i've gained a few pounds even though i know its muscle, i get so obsessed with loosing those pounds! but yet that just makes me hungry... its weird...

    At times i do become aware of the fact im in good shape and its cool at the time, but when i get mad for some other reason i criticize myself... i think i just got off topic, but oh well.... and then my own critics bring me down...

    I think we just need to be confident and love ourselves the way we are. Its a self steem issue... i took home ec. in 7th grade and they talked about this...

    You are worrying too much about your body and your eating behavior. Get some help from a parent or school counselor or seek out a support group for people with eating disorders. There are a lot more important problems in the world to worry about. It is not wierd that you worry so much about this, this country is full of women worrying about weight and diets and TV and ads are full of the messsage that we need to be thin. Recognize that a lot of this pressure comes from outside you. You are young and healthy, enjoy that.

    Sounds as if you are allergic or have a reaction to something in the alcohol you drink -or consume to much of. I'd keep a journal of foods, and the drinks you have when this keeps happening. Also be sure to let your MD know - and wait until all the labs are back in case it may be something else.

    Teen with body image problems...never expected that one!

    You young and pretty, enjoy your life. Discuss with your mum (or whoever cooks in your house). She's on your side. Trust her to cook appropriate food and servings size for you. Anyways guys like chix with curves. Oh yes.

    you might be starting to develop an eating disorder. this is not healthy but it is not your fault it is just how your mind works. you can get help for this and if it starts to get worse you really should but no one can make you go to counseling except yourself and i don't blame you for not wanting to if you don't. its normal for teenagers to feel this way yes but it does not make this healthy. please do not over do it cause you can really get sick.
