Body dysmorphic: Disorder is excessive concern & preoccupation with a perceived body defect. Your fear could also be an eating disorder. Focus on your ability to do things & be active rather than your appearance. It can be difficult to change a rigid & fixed belief, so talk to a mental health professional to help change your perceptions & thoughts.
