okay, is anybody else getting sick of girls who think they're fat and refuse to eat a cookie, when in reality they're actually quite healthy looking and NOT overweight??? i have a friend who is very athletic and she is not fat at all, but i always hear her talking about how she thinks shes so fat and that she needs to lose weight.

right now, i am 15 years old, 95 pounds, 5'7. ive been underweight for the majority of my life and im telling you, ladies, its not that great. im bad at sports because i have almost no muscles, my ribs and my spine poke out when i wear a bathing suit, and its hard for me to find clothes that fit me. not to mention the fact that my boobs are itty bitty. ive been trying to gain weight for a while now, and it is not easy.

i understand if a 300 pound lady wants to lose a little weight but there are so many girls out there who are perfectly normal and have beautiful, athletic bodies who are turning anorexic! please girls, look at yourself in the mirror first and realize how beautiful you are before going on an all-carrot-diet.

thanks for the reminder =)


i was underweight all my life... until grade 10.. then i started gaining weight.. in hopes for bigger boobs.. (yes.. im pathetic.. but hey.. some shirts require larger boobage for it to look nice.. and i had next to none..)

word! being thin sucks because you hardly have any curves
cuves=good
thin girl with no ass or boobs=bad

IF YOU WANT A COOKIE EAT A COOKIE! that is my inititive, the whole im fat thing is way out of hand, im sick of people coming up to me saying IM FAT! and they are the size of a pencil and you could blow them over if you exhale, ITS NOT HEALTHY IF THEY ARE LIKE THAT! I mean I weigh about 190 pounds, and my weight is due to me having thyoroid cancer, but I mean, i dont want to be rude, but seek help if you are saying your fat, and you only weigh like 100 pnds!

Yep. I know a ton of my friends that are like that.
I'm also uderweight for my age.
I want to gain weight!!

god.
you know,I eat ALOT.
more than most overwieght people,actually.
I figure I'm thin enough.
I mean yeah,I'm not anorexic looking.
shoot me.
my sister,she's extremely skinny.
and I think that she thinks her body is what every girl wants.
and she has the NERVE to call me fat,because some of my jeans are too tight.
I'm 13,
and I'm not gonna stay 5'3" forever,kids.
I'm not gonna be as skinny as I am forever,either.

im 5'7, 16 yrs and now, finally..im over 100 pounds. (102 now. yay!) it wasnt until track started that i had only weighed 97 pounds. since we got a new sprinting coach for track, his traning was much different and we ran miles daily. instead of only sprinting 100s, we did distance. i got muscle on my arms, abs, and calves. in 3 months, i gained 5 pounds. it may not seem much, but for someone who experienced the same problems as you, it was literally a miracle.

I laughed at that. But seriously, like Lucy said, it's not great to be thin. I suck at all sports except for track, and a lot of thin girls have back problems. I have to go to a doctor because I have slight spinal curvature and really bad posture. It's just a pain in the butt. I seriously wouldn't mind gaining weight, because I'm underweight and it's unhealthy.

^My spine kinda curves too. My doctor recccomended me to this place, but my parents wont take me because they say it's too much money for a couple of simple exercises.
Amen sista!
Seriously I'm 13, 80 lbs, 5'2". I'm sick and tired of people telling me I'm anorexic and I need help. Love yourself for who you are because the grass isn't always greener on the other side!

I think everyone should just aim for a goal to be healthy and fit.
Things even out.

SAME HERE! im still underweight. 5'5", 107 pounds.
it really isnt great being thin, NO F-ING BOOBS! i have a friend who has like the perfect body and she keeps saying she is fat, and doesnt eat lunch. i keep telling her she's being stupid, and that shes perfectly fine, i make her eat some lunch.

Your right.I feel sometimes I`m fat too..but sometimes I feel skinny.I guess girls just want to be the skinniest.But you made a good point.

Im 16, 5'8 1/2 and 117 pounds. I have a flat chest, although it still growing. But when I was growing the doctor always said that I was underweight. Now my weight is ok, but Im trying to gain a little bit of pounds just to look a bit healthy because I hate my ribs sticking out.



Actually that is so untrue, there are girls that are skinny and have boobs and ass. It just depends on your genes. Im skinny and I don't have a flat ass.

I'm underweight too. It sucks. Everyone thinks you have an eating disorder, and judge you by it. When, in truth, I hate it. I don't want to be fat, i want to be HEALTHY. It would rock to not have to choose what I wear by what section of the store its in. Teenages have it hard, too much pressure on looks.

You know that corney saying "It's on the inside that counts"? Guess what.. it's true. Go figure. :D

Agreed.

eh yea i have a friend like your friend
Makes me think of my friend Jenny.
Shes 5'4 i think it is maybe 5'3 and shes 90 some lbs
and she has a little bit of "pudge" as she would put it i think its how its spelt and shes panicing that she needs to lose weight. Although shes pretty active.. she did play soccer and stuff.. All you can really do is work out and run and stuff. Eat like your supposed to as well.
Thats what they do in boot camp for underweight people they watch you like a hawk when you eat and make sure you eat all that they gave you and then make you work out for 12 weeks.

And yes i agree that people should just be healthy and fit and thats good enough for everyone =]

I sometimes think I'm chubby, not overweight, but when I compare myself to my friends, I'm actually underweight. I'm underweight for my height. I'm a pretty athletic girl and I've been a tomboy my whole life, but I become pretty lazy once in a while, and the fat gets stored. Right now I'm just working on building some muscle because I want to be better than the guys

I know too many girls who think they're overweight. Maybe they just think they're chubby or something. You're not overweight unless you have 20% body fat. So shut up and don't speak of such things unless you REALLY are overweight. If you just want to lose a few vanity pounds, drink some milk and eat yogurt, it really does help burn some fat.

Actually, 31% is considered a "acceptable" amount of body fat for women.

thats funny. When I was in school acceptable was 26 and above. and I always had 27 and it made me so angry!! mostly because I was the ONLY ONE and we got measured in front of the whole class. boo boo.

thank you. seriously. i hate how people who are at a perfectly average and good looking weight say, "i hate my thighs! i'm dieting." i'm 5'5'' and 90lbs. it sucks when people ask you if you're anorexic and are serious. there's nothing "lucky" about it. you try to gain weight but it doesn't happen. no matter how many brownies and cookies and french fries and burgers you eat, it doesn't change anything.

lately i've realized that my body isn't going to change any time soon, so instead of being embarassed about it, i show it off. i know that sounds arrogant, but i know some day all my food is probably going to catch up to me...so why not take advantage of it while i have it?

I'm a shortie.....153cm in height & weigh 43kg......
I'm at a healthy weight I guess...

Kinda chubby though..... still have that baby fat......

Currently working out trying to lose some fat on the thighs....... i refuse to wear bikinis or short shorts coz i look so......... oddly proportioned.

But yea....... i don't want to be stick thin......... i've got like hardly any boobs already..... =.="....... i would'nt want a flat butt & no curves.........


I blame the media for all that airbrushing they've done to the models!!!!! >_____<"

I hate being thin because I have NO boobs! Its annoying. But at the same time, I love being thin.

I have friends that are like that, and when I try to tell them they`re not FAT.. They turn crazyy.. they`ll be like well, you got nothing to worry about you`re skinny and yeahh.. But i`ve been thin throughout my whole life. No matter how much food i be eating i dont seem to gain any weight..

okay... u r 15 years old and u're 95 pounds. I should be reallie proud of u. but after reading this...........kinda suck. Im like 105 pounds and im younger than u. KINDa suck. LOL!
