Hi, i'm 16, 5'5" and I weigh 110 pounds.
I think that I look really really really
overweight and it's really bothering me,
but people tell me that I shouldn't lose
any weight. Are they just trying to be
nice because they know i'm way too fat, or
are they right and I just happen to look
oddly huge?...Please help!

First of all, you are only 16 and a lot of
stuff will change soon.
Second, my girlfriend is 148 and she's not
fat at all, trust me and she's probably
just a little taller than you. So you are
not fat :)

Stop obsessing about it--you are quite
underweight. If you start losing weight,
you are likely to develop an eating
disorder, like anorexia or bulimia, and
you do not want to go there. Trust me, I
know what i'm talking about--i have been
struggling with anorexia for years and
while i'm physically better (it never goes
away completely mentally). The worst
thing you can do to yourself is try to
lose weight. I'm 5'4" and 115 lb. Now,
which is the low end of normal for my
height so you do not need to lose weight.

Cin1812 seems to know what she is talking
about, you don't want to become annorexic
or bulemic, she is right, it is not worth
it, it can kill you! Be happy with
yourself, even if you gain another 5 to 10
lbs after all it what is on the inside
that counts as long as you are a loving
caring person, that is the main thing!
