Do other people have a bad Body Image?

[Anonymous]

So... I need to know some honest opinions. I have always felt.. bigger than most. I am not comfortable in my body and always hide it behind large clothes. When I buy clothing, I am shocked to find I always fit in the smallest sizes. (This confuses me because I see girls way smaller than me.. and where do they find clothes?) When I see bigger girls that are confident with their body I am jealous. I am around 5'8'' and 120 lbs.
So it confuses me when I see myself so much bigger than girls who fit into bigger sizes than I do.
I do not have an eating disorder (I probably eat more than most).
Is this normal? Am I bigger? I know there isn't a picture to match, but any suggestions?

OH MY GOD YES.
well i dont fit into the smallest sizes on my lower half, nor will i ever hahahaha, but anyway, I'm amazed at the girls who are bigger than i am but can rock their outfit so well! =/
i think the suggestion here is to dress for your figure. thats whats been helping me. accentuate the good stuff and by drawing attention to that, you will minimise the appearance of any other problem areas. of course, with diet and exercise, the aim is to get rid of those altogether so that we dont have to play this hiding game.

You sound really thin, I think you r just being self conscious. And you probably think you are bigger cos ur taller than average

You are not big or fat at all. However by wearing big clothes you can make yourself appear fat or bigger. It's all in your head, no one is stopping you from loving your own body.
