If I mention my weight and height to people, they find it to be completely normal. Even (most) people around me don't see me as fat or skinny. (I am 5'7' and 120-125lbs) But I am still not comfortable... not with my weight, persay. But how my body looks. I HATE MY THIGHS. Ugh. It doesn't help that I have a mother who likes to tell me that it would do me good to lose ten pounds or something. I feel really insecure about my legs and butt... so I hate wearing shorts or short skirts. My mom tells me I'd look better in them if I lost weight. Yet, I get the other end of things too. This one girl said she would have to go anorexic to look like me. I hate comments like that. Or things like, "you're too skinny" or "are you trying to diet? You need a little meat on you". It's so annoying. So yeah... I don't like weight and body issues and stuff. They suck.

I am perfectly fine with my weight. Really.
I'm....tallish, and I weigh...i don't know. I don't weigh myself that often. 105? 110? that's what it was last time i checked.

I'm not uncomfortable. I weigh like 110 pounds, and wear 14 in little girls. I just really don't care how much I weigh, as of right now, I'm normal-ish.

I'm 5' 51/2", weigh 110lbs and wear size 6. I don't think I'm fat, but I definitely could use some work on my tummy. I wouldn't say I'm fat, but I feel fat sometimes. Especially when I'm with my friends. Most Asian girls (not including me) are built tiny. My friends' waist sizes range from 23 to 26. I'm 27 and I feel like Colossus next to them. Granted, most of them are shorter than me, but STILL! I always feel out of shape next to them. My body, as a whole, is fine. It's propotionate, not too skinny, but I need to work on my stomach. I wish I had more time to exercise. School work doesn't give me free time to do anything these days. I really should find some time to work out. This just turned into a huge ramble Sorry

Most Asian girls (not including me) are built tiny. Ugh I so know what you mean. I'm Asian... but everyone else is like 5'1" and 90 pounds or so. So petite. It drives me insane because I am like half a foot taller and about 30 pounds heaver. It isn't good for me to compare myself to them.

^^ On the other hand, I'd much rather be half a foot taller and have a healthier build. But seriously, where does all that food they eat go??

I used to be uncomfortable with my weight, but I just started excersising and starting eating healthier and cut choclate and soda out of my diet, and I lost around 10 or 15 pounds. I weigh like 95 pounds now, so I'm slim.

Why do people try to lose weight when they are already thin to begin with?

^^ i think she's talking about people with warped perceptions of themselves. like, people who weigh 90 lbs and say things like "i could handle losing a few pounds"... when obviously, at a weight like that, a person is skinny. it's not to say that the person doesn't think they look bad when they look in the mirror... because, let's face it, we're all too critical of ourselves.
i'm pretty happy with my weight. i don't think it would be healthy for me to gain or lose any of it... i just wish that it was all a little tighter. that's why i exercise. my problem is that my skin is lose... i'm thin, but i used to be pretty heavy - and my skin, for whatever reason, didn't really tighten back up. so it looks decent when i'm in clothes, but i cringe when i see myself naked. blah. i'm 16!!! where's the elasticity in my skin?!?! grrr.

<<<I weigh like 95 pounds now, so I'm slim. >>> I now weight 110 pounds. I was starving myself trying to be that small, and I was getting really sick, so I decided to eat now and I've gained 15 pounds. But that's ok, the beauty is on the inside. I see what you mean, Cassiopiea and Spaz. It's really sad, because when I was 11, I was anorexic. I just don't want to go thru that pain again.

Guess what everyone? I've *finally* stopped caring about my weight!! I'm healthy, I'm reasonably happy, and that's all that matters. After years of diets, exercises and eating disorders I've finally come to the realization that I wasn't MEANT to be a stick. And I don't care, all I had to do was open my eyes and ears and learn that you don't *have* to be skinny to be beautiful. Just yeaturday I was in a clothing store and this stick-thin starved looking girl came up to me and said "wow, I wish I had a figure like yours", then my boyfriend told me that he LIKES me the way I am and wouldn't want me to change... just thought I'd share

I hate how I look, and I hate it when people say that I'm skinny or something, because I know I will always hate how I look until it changes. Frankly, I'd rather just accept not being happy with how I look and trying to look better than attempting to love my body.
But that's just me.

Oh. I like how I look. Maybe a little too much for my own good, even. Why would you WANT to accept not being happy, though? That doesn't make much sense.
