being thin, is not that great Options

[aznxdreamer]

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.

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.
