Applepie: I'm NOT self diagnosing....I'm seeing a nutritionist who is also a professional psychologist. I'm just looking for other people who delt with my situation

I work at a tanning salon actually. Here is my advice and input: Tanning can give you a really natural tan if you don't overdo it. We call orange people tanorexics at my salon...people who come in every day. If you have fair skin don't plan on looking like jennifer lopez becuase there's a point for everyone where their body says: this is my tan color....anything past this just looks bad. and that's not always dark for everyone

I am what you might call anorexic, though my nutritionist/counselor says I don't show any mental signs of being anorexic, the the eating habits. Basically I started out healthy: I was maybe 10lbs heavier than I wanted to be (127 at 5'6".5) and I lost down to about 115 - the cutoff for my "healthy weight range". I ran etc. Then it jsut didn't stop and now I am 97lbs. Mentally when I work out and stuff I think: I would like to be built and curvy but not in a way that looks fat...just have boobs and a butt (I pretty much look like those girls in 9th grade who don't have them yet) But physically and mentally after I eat I can't handle how my stomach looks and feels against my clothes. Is there anyone else here who has struggled with this type of thing? I'd just like to hear someones take on it who is on the other side. Thanks.
