Am I fat? I weight 125 pounds and I am 5,5 my family keeps teling me I am not fat, but I think I am.

Well, I would say no straight away, but what is your body like? (ie: athletic, average, etc.)

[GlindaofOz]

A person who is 5'5 and 125 is slim. I'm 5'5 and 165 pounds and I guess if you're fat then I'm morbidly obese. ;)

[xEoMxMoAxx]

I think its more atheletic I run track and so my legs seem huge but I think its muscle from running everyday

[GlindaofOz]

If your athletic and 125 pounds I would say you are actually probably EXTREMELY thin.

How old are you?

[Canada_Sweety]

No... you are not fat.

[xEoMxMoAxx]

I'm 16

[Canada_Sweety]

Yeah.. you're definitely not fat. What makes you think that you are?

[xEoMxMoAxx]

I don't know its just the way I look I guess, I don't look at myself as attractive cause many boys don't look my way. My friends say that I'm skinny or pretty. But I just always feel fat anyway. I guess it also could be how all these girls have perfect bodies and mine is far not even close to perfect

[GlindaofOz]

She's 16 that's what makes her think she's fat. :)

You are not fat you are skinny. At 16 you have a distorted view of yourself and hold media images as the ideal.

Dolly stop comparing yourself to others you don't know what other people have going on in their lives. Remember it's the JOB of models and celebrities to be thin your job is to do well in school. Please start to accept and love your body and love who you are.

Like I said I weight a lot more then you and honey I think my body is H-O-T. Its all in how you feel.

Come on now, I would kill to have an athletic body. I have a pretty face and a semi-decent body and I get bodys looking my way all the time... and trust me, it can be more degrading then anything. You shouldn't look to boys to give you comfort in your body, because that can hurt ya pretty bad. And as for how other girls look... why does it matter? Maybe they wish they looked like you. And besides, you seem like a nice inteligent girl, what's on the outside should pale in comparison to what's on the inside.:)

I calculated your BMI and it is 20.8 which is NORMAL. Not fat, not skinny, NORMAL. Start loving yourself for the healthy person that you are. Boys are attracted to confidence more than anything and not loving yourself isn't very confident. Remember, no one's body is perfect. Here is the website I calculated your BMI on; check it out.

The truth is that boys may not be looking at you because you don't feel good about yourself. Part of what makes a girl attractive is confidence. I have girlfriends who are bigger then me and pull WAY more guys because as confident as I am they make me look like a wimp. Start feeling good about you and I think you'll see a difference.

That is 100000% true... when YOU feel good about you and love you then other's are drawn to you.:)
