23 year old male – obsessed with Weight?
Toto Mimo asked:
When I was younger, at High School etc, I was constantly bullied for being the 'fat kid'. It was due to me having a deficiency in growth hormone. After hormonal injections til I was 18, I was still a little chubby but a bit taller. Now, at 23, I weigh about 56-57 kilos and I'm maybe, 5'7 – perhaps a little bit taller. But I've grown obsessed with my weight. I weigh myself every morning to see if there's been any fluctuation and if I go over 9 stones, I'll eat less until I'm under again. I have pretty skinny arms and legs, and a little bit of pudge left on my tummy; these are all things I monitor remembering how I got bullied before. And when I look around, there are always these naturally perfectly-shaped lads, and I end up weighing myself again.

My GP says weighing myself so constantly is just my obsessive-compulsive thing.. Im not so sure. Does anyone have any advice to give? Thanks in advance.
