Pro ana mis and your thoughts on my situation.?
Please do not make fun of me... okay I'm 13 5'7" and 180 lbs... I've dropped forty pounds since I've been anorexic and I'm finally at a semi healthy weight. My doctor says most of my weight comes from height and muscle. Either way I feel fat. I am fat I know I am. I just wish I could be the skinniest in my house and that when I cuddle with my boyfriend I didn't feel like o was crushing him. He loves cuddling and so do I but here lately I just feel so fat I dont even want to sit too close for fear he'll realize how fat I am and hate me. I'm on the road to being skinny and I love it but I'm just afraid that I might take this too far. I've tried "healthy dieting" and worked my little *** off but there were no results and it makes me mad. I know I can for this I just think I may take it a little to far. I've been made fun of about my weight since I was little and it kills me this just seemed like it was my best option ;/ I just don't know I mean its like I'm in a situation where I know it's bad but I'm so disgusted with myself I don't even care anymore and I'm willing to do anything to be pretty.. thanks for your time.

Okay, first of all, congrats for starting to lose weight, I hope it works out for you and you start to feel better about yourself :)
If you feel that you may end up taking this to far, I think you should contact a local eating disorder organisation immediately. If you're in the UK http://www.b-eat.co.uk/ is good and will be able to help you locate your nearest service. In the USA http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/ would be able to do the same, unfortunately I don't know of others for any other countries so if you're not in the UK or USA please go to your doctor and tell them the concerns you are having.
It sounds like you have very low self esteem, and again I really think you should go to your doctor about that too. Your doctor will be able to refer you onto other organisations that can help you improve your self confidence and your self esteem. For example in the UK the Youth Enquiry Service can offer therapies to help with that.
I am most definitely not pro ana/mia. I have been suffering with both anorexia and bulimia since I was a small child, and it can ruin your life. By all means if you want to lose weight lose weight, but keep yourself healthy. It's a very easy pattern to fall into, so even if you feel in the slightest that you may end up "taking it to far" then please start asking for professional help immediately.
I hope I helped, and good luck.
