What is considered fat... what is skinny.....AHHHH

[Anonymous]

I would consider myself skinny but I've been doing a lot of reading and it seems to me that maybe others would consider me fat, or maybe thick :( I'm only 5'1 and I weigh 120 pounds but I do have a bigger butt and I guess more muscular legs ... but I have a small waist so I don't know what to think about myself... is media conforming people to think that if you don't look like all the people on the magazines and TV shows than you are fat ... ugh.

Pretend, for a moment, you're a guy.

You know how much attention we pay to media, as far as how we're supposed to look? Mone. Better, if we saw a guy worrying about what the media said about how he looked, we'd tell him he's not that bright.

It would go something like: "The media exists to make you look at it, then sell you something while your looking. What sort of fool mistakes this for how they're supposed to be in real life?"

Think about it.

My ex was 5'2" 120lbs. 32B and had a six pack, etc. Not jacked by any means just very toned and fit. I don't think that's fat at all. And anyways- who cares? As long as you're happy with yourself.

The most important things are to be healthy and to be happy with yourself. Wear clothes YOU feel that you look good in and don't pay attention to what other people say.

I am about your size an inch taller and 4 pounds more and I consider myself to be average neither fat or skinny. Just right..=)

If you are wondering if you're fat then you're at least a little fat.
