Your body condition would get worse if you dont work out...you can eat like that...but you should exercise everyday even though you dont want to be skinny....~~!!  But tell you what....you cant slow down after you get fat, because your stomach would be bigger than before, and then you cant get back skinny again....== !!

HONEY, \nLET US STOP BEING MYOPIC ABOUT WEIGHT. WHO SAID THAT ONLY SKINNY GIRLS ARE BEATIFUL OR ATTRACTIVE. BEAUTY IS A PACKAGE WHOSE CONTENTS CAN BE APPRECIATED OR DISLIKED BY THE MASSES. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THEREFORE BECOMES WHAT IS MY INNER PACKAGING MADE OF? AM I A PRODUCT OF HIGH QUALITY WHICH LACKS PACKAGING OR AM I A PACKAGING OF HIGH QUALITY WITHOUT A BRAND NAME OF SKINNY ATTACHED TO IT.

well, he just means that you're not skinny.... nothing wrong with that because he obviously likes it. Don't worry about it unless he starts making an issue about your weight. Good luck.

There are self esteem issues you need to work out with a counselor. I have plenty of really skinny friends that they still rag on themselves for not being this and that and not liking how they look in clothes or bathing suits. Just because you are skinny don't necessarily mean you are going to be a happier person. You will be happier with getting more attention but just going on looks likely to be more negative attention. You need to be happy with yourself no matter what size you are! But, you also want to make sure you keep yourself healthy. Just eat right or just moderate what you eat altogether don't go on this diet food kick and if you can try to get out and walk around the block or if you can afford it join a gym. They have new classes like belly dancing, exotic dancing and jazzercise to make it more interesting. Try to look at it as being more healthy and making healthier choices not just as being skinny. There are skinny people that are out of shape and not healthy that can end up having the same health problems as someone who is overweight. Hope this helps.

Depends, do you think you're fat? If not you're just pretty skinny. You kinda need to gain some weight. I recomment eating more protein and lifting weights, and doing some cardio. You'll be healthier and have some muscle.

I think it's perfect. :) Your body fat is normal and plus I heard that electric scales are wrong AND the fact that our bodies gain body fat when we are about to start our period. Don't quote me on that though. :) But it's a good thing that you are trying to be healthier. Skinny doesn't always mean healthy, remember that.

That's fine.  I'm 26 years old.  I'm 5'5' and I'm only 100 lbs.  I've been the same since the age of 17.  People say I'm too skinny and say I should gain wieight, but I'm healthy.  THEY ARE JEALOUS.  I have a normal appetite.  I don't like soda, fries or junk food and I love walking and biking and other sports.  99% of the time, if someone tells you crap like that, THEY ARE JEALOUS.  When my mom comments, I know it's out of concern.  If you have an eating dissorder, tell someone you are comforable talking to and get help.  But if you are healthy, you should not care about what other people say.  If they call you skin and bones, don't be offended.  Just be glad you're not fat.  Don't be offensive or rude.  Fat people have a lot harder of a time than we do... but it's true we all get crap for something... being skinny, being fat, being black, being american, being different than the person talking shit.  Don't be offended or offensive.  You'll be fine.

there is nothing wrong with being fat, it's people like you that are shallow who don't accept the people for who they are. Anyone should be able to feel comfortable whatever shape they are?... and what do u mean promoting fatness? how??...a store... u know people need to wear cloths... lol

It would depend on a few things. Like height for instance. The taller you are, the more you might weigh. My son is 11 & 5'4". He weighs 130. This weight suits him. He's not skinny, but not pudgey either.\n\nHope that helps. Remeber, it's better to be healthly than the skinny model type!

ok its completely up to you what you do.If you are naturally skinny and want to stay like that,then that is fine.But if you want to put a bit more on like you do then that is also up to you.It is completely your decision.I have asked my boyfriend for you and he says he prefers nothing particular,and that te outside appearence doesn't matter.He says what he prefers is confidence with the appreance.And i agree that confidence is attractive.I think a good size is a ten.But if you really want to go up to eight i would advise eating a little more carbs such as more breads and rice but also mix it with healthy eating.Even if you want to put more weight on never become unhealthy.Yes it will put the weight on but 1)you will go up to a huge size  2)you may not look unhealthy but it is seriously dangerous internally.I hope this helps.

Check this height/weight chart. This is a guideline... keep in mind that there are always exceptions, but if you find that you are out of the range you may want to consider that you might be underweight.\n\nAlso ask yourself...  Do you hate to eat? Do you eat ice cream? Potato chips? Pizza? Anorexia is more than just being skinny. It is a way that people relate to food and eating. If you eat when you are hungry and don't worry about it, I would say you are just naturally skinny.\n\nWhen you start refusing to eat certain foods because they have too much fat, when you look at yourself in the mirror and think you look fat all the time, when you obsess about your figure... those are danger signs. If you don't really think about what you are eating, and don't ignore your hunger, you are probably just skinny.\n\nIts ok to be skinny unless you get there through unhealthy means.\n\nAnorexia - losing weight through not eating, \nand\nBulemia - throwing up after you eat\nare both unhealthy. If you think you have one of these tell your doctor. These can have severe consequences including interefering with your ability to have children later.

Some people do have a naturally thinner body type (ectomorphs); however, I would say you are a little on the thin side from your weight and height. I wouldn't be able to say for sure unless I saw your picture though. In reality, you should not be asking "am I too skinny" you should be asking "am I in shape". It is possible to be 95 pounds and still look fat, and it is also possible for you to be 120 and look thinner than you do now. How? Aerobic exercise + weight training + 400-600 calories more than what you eat now a day. That will make you put on weight, but it will be muscle weight, tone down, and become more healthy. It will also help prevent osteoporosis which is common in people who are very thin.

i am 5 one and a half, 25, and 128 lbs. i have always been the skinny one in the group. if you have a little more cushion in your hips, behind, and breasts, believe me you will appreciate this in about 6 years when your "skinny" friends are flat as a bored with no a $ $ !\n\nreal women have curves. boo yah!

I don't think so.  Think about how many girls attend your school.\nThen think about how many of them are cheerleaders. Then (lastly) think about how many of them you think care about their appearance and want to be skinny.  I am sure it's way more than the number of cheerleaders.  Cheerleader or not, girls nowadays have pressure to be thin.
