You have an obsessive thing about your weight.  Somewhere in your life your weight became very important to you and this is not unusual these days.  I have the same issue.  If I am overweight the entire world is in chaos because everything revolves around my weight.  I was obese as a child and my parents were unhappy about it.  I was teased and so I was unhappy about it.  I just want everyone to be happy so I diet and exercise constantly. I have even been anorexic twice.  So the best thing to do is figure out what the real reason is for your obsession and teach yourself that it doesn't really matter as musch as you think it does.  Good luck!  You are not alone in this!

In  real world - you are a perfect size. And tall is beautifull!!!!\nIf you watch TV.... Hm-mm... They show all these skinny models.\nThey look sick! \nI do not know any guy that likes skinny girls. They all like some meat on them... Some more, some less.\nYou sound like you have a perfect size for your height.\nBulimia is a serious thing! Get help with it, girl.

I think sometimes it can be difficult for people who carry some more weight than you to understand why you are thinner. There seems to be a lot of tasty food around now so mabye some just don't understand this. I suppose it comes down to a kind of jealousy thing.

its wrong. whether ur skinny or not, its wrong, because it gives u a bad name and ppl would think ur trying to sell ur body which u might be but things that u dont want to be called u will be. it also gives girls a bad name. u can look sexy w/o showing so much skin. just find clothes that fit good, not tight but not baggy. some dont care wat ppl say but it is a good idea to respect others and they dont want to see that nasty stuff. take it to the room or something leave it out of our sight. that jsut my opinion lol

I understand what you are saying too.  I mean who is it who decides that "skinny" is beautiful.  Some of those stars look absolutely pathetic.  I mean, don't they ever see what they look like, with their stick arms and legs?  It is a very sad reflection on our society when we place that much value on how people look and not on how people treat one another instead.\n\nBelow is a site with info on a country where girls are actually force-fed to get fat so they will be seen as more desirable.  Not that I agree with that, but it just shows that not all the world agrees with "skinny".

Whether you are skinny or fat no one should make fun of your size. By your measurements, you are not fat. Don't worry about your size, as long as you're confident with yourself you shouldn't worry about what others say. If you have a problem with what you're boyfriend is saying, talk to him. If he has an issue with your weight then he doesn't deserve a great girl like you!

Maybe it's inborn that you're skinny. You could try eating lots. And don't do any exercise.

you know, there is an inbetween weight.\nI have some spots on my body that can be grabbed, love handles for example. but then my tummy is tight.\nI am not sickly skinny, but not close to volumptous at all.

because there is alot of pressure to look good, and if thier not a size 2 or smaller, they think they are fat. \nIt could also be that most guys only date the skinny girl over the girl that has some padding. So it only proves to the girl that you have to be skiny to get a guy.

I can't stand it when people say "ideal" weight.  that's what causes people to be anorexic!!  It's all based on frame size and whether you are fit or not.

Dont starve yourself. Thats plenty skinny for that height. Its just something with girls thinking they are fat when they aint. Blame cosmo & all these teen shows with all these "Perfect" girls.

Not all skinny people ask this. I have been skinny my entire life and i have never asked this, even if i felt like i was having a fat day. I know i look good so there's no need to ask. I don't need anyone elses  reassurance to make me feel good about myself.

Some girls percieve their body differently then others. They have a distorted view on beauty and feel even a healthy body is not attractive compared to a stick thin body. Sometimes this leads to eating disorders. It partially has to deal with how stars are very thin and beautiful and they want to be that way, but in order to think like that, usually you are pre determined to do it anyway.

My heart goes out to you. It must be hard to hear what you have described. \n\nI feel scared for you if your Mom is saying you are fat at a size 0 and you are starting to believe her. This sounds like possible emotional abuse. If she means you no harm, then it sounds like an attitude from someone who has Anorexia . It is a very difficult, yet treatable condition if the person seeks help. No matter what your Mom says or does, I hope you see a school counselor or doctor about this very soon for your own safety. They can help you find out if you have Anorexia, and can help you if some verbal / emotional abuse is going on. \n\nI've met some people who don't have an eating disorder and genuinely cannot gain weight even when they try to. This is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. A professional can help you find some answers. \n\nI wish you the best.

..... think about it...\n\nlook at how skinny/averaged sized girls treat overweight people. look at high school...\n\nbeing overweight makes life a little harder, people dont treat you with the respect you deserve.\n\num... we want to look skinny... or average.. i think some teenagers gain some weight from trying to look like beyonce(big boobs and booty).
