 I think everyone today has some hang ups about the way they look. We have it rammed down our throat how thin we're supposed to be all the time, I don't think any of us are ever happy with our bodies, no matter how thin we end up. Size 8 is 2 sizes below the average dress size of a woman in Britain so you are definitely not fat! I think you are worrying too much about this and it needs sorting.
I know how you feel, I don't think many women go through their lives, or even a day without wondering whether they've eaten too many calories etc. The problem is when it becomes so serious that it ruins your life and you think about things like making yourself sick, as you have done. I'm glad you say you would never do that, it's silly and dangerous.
Maybe speak to a counsellor about how you feel. Once you're in this rut, no amount of people telling you you look find will work, you need professional help to sort yout confidence levels out. Speak to someone you trust and get in touch with your doctor.
Don't let this become an issue. Everyone wants to look good but the most important thing is to be healthy, mentally and physically. You will probably never be 100% happy with your body but you obviously have some problems if you think you're fat at size 8. Get that help and sort this now, before it becomes even more of a problem.

 Hi Honey,You are very young and I think this interest in weight is a natural thing that girls of your age go through. I did and weighed the same as you do at your age. All magazines stress the size 0 and have very slim models. I would say you are perfectly slim for your age and should concentrate on wearing lovely clothes that set of your figure. I wouldn't try to get any slimmer because you are in perfect proportion to your height and anything less that 7 stone could be dangerous health wise. I would think about makeup and clothes and not concentrate on the actual weight side of things , think more about what you look like done up when you are going out and channel your interests into this area. As long as you eat healthily and regularly and exercise you will be fine. Be proud of your figure and show it off!
