I work very hard to eat well and stay in shape. I prepare healthy foods at the beginning of the week and try my best not to cheat or have an unhealthy snack. If I don't go to the gym six days out of seven a week, I feel guilty. I feel like I'm letting my body down and I'm going to gain weight. New exercises and detoxes are constantly being tweaked to stay a certain size, but somehow I still don't feel my best. My mother often tells me that there is no reason to worry about my weight because I am thin and I don't need to feel bad about myself. If this is true, how come every time I change I can't even look at myself in the mirror? I hope that one day I will grow out of the negative ways I perceive myself, but that's not what I experience alone, that's what most girls my age experience.
