I am an educated woman, I socialize in academic and political circles and I get paid to think. I am a successful engineer who is running for political office at the age of 27.
Yet, I have a terrible body image! I am 5" tall and I weigh about 120 lbs, 10 of which were gained in the past 5 months.
Ladies and gentleman, I have a lot on my plate to worry about these days: my master's defensee, my job, my campaign and all the world events, but what occupies my mind most of the time, is my weight!
I am depressed, because when I look in the mirror, I see a fat woman! The truth is, I'd rather die but not become a fat woman.
Should I blame Hollywood, show biz or the Vogue magazine for this? OR perhaps this is just me, who has a problem with myself?
I don't eat junk food and I do drink pop. Recently, I stopped eating lunch, hoping that it works. These days I don't have much time to spend in the gym, but I walk at least 30 min/day and sometimes 2 hours a day. Yet, I am fat.
Why my body image matters to me, I am not sure. All I know is that I am terrified to look at my-naked-self in the mirror.
I have never expected myself to look like a model (let's face it, I am at least 8" shorter than an average model) but I want to look lean and healthy. I want to look presentable without having to disguise some parts of my body under heavy clothing!
My weight has become an obstacle on my way to happiness. This morning I realized that I have a crisis on my hands!
Ladies and Gentleman, my name is Bahar and I am a weightoholic.

Hey Ma'am! I'm bound to ask you to watch your tongue! What's wrong with "fat" women? Think of Molly Weasley! She is absolutely great! And also very sexy! Don't you believe? Ask Arthur. And surely she wouldn't be as great, if she weren't plump.
One more thing: May I ask why you don't use metric system?!
Sorry!
5' means 152 cm and 120 lbs means 55 kg!
You are so funny! :))))))))
I'm so happy you don't have a real problem. More than that, your problem is imaginary. Can it be that you are too busy and you're becoming delusional?! :P Instead, you should be dating and let the other person decide. I've known you for years and you've always been on top of the list of girls with lots of sex-appeal to men. So, I'm guessing they don't have a problem staring at you ;)
And honey, 10 lbs above your 'dream' weight is NOT fat! :)) Again, I think you are too busy with politics, work and school. Once those are out of the way, you'll have time to socialize more and you'll discover again how sexy you are just the way you look now.
But just for fun, check this website. it let's you set a goal that can be your desired weight and the date that you want to reach that weight. Also you get to enter the food that you eat daily and your activities. That way you can monitor if you are moving toward your goal.
