Why do I feel so fat?

[Anonymous]

I'm not fat at all and I know that. I'm 5'2" and 101 lb. I feel really depressed because it seems as if I've gained 2 lb. I don't want that; I never want to gain weight ever. Nobody notices it except me. I also got got a few cm taller. But I just feel so bad. How do I loose 3lb? I'd seriously feel like killing myself if I ever go over 105.

You're too self-conscious about your weight. So naturally, you're going to pay more attention to your weight and feel fatter. You could also gain weight without having to eat more. Sleeping deprivation can cause a person to gain more weight. You can look it up if you don't believe me. I recommend not stressing about it too much and burning more calories such as exercising or doing more mental exercise and getting healthy sleep.

weight fluctuates all the time, its normal, and like you said, nobody is going to notice except for you. there are worse problems in life :p

[Asker]

No this is a problem

[OnionsNstuff]

i had a sister that would've been your age now if she hadn't died when she was 5. there are worse problems in life than 2lbs of weight

[Asker]

In your life. In my life this is the biggest problem.

Oh, and I'm sorry to hear that.

[OnionsNstuff]

i didn't bring this up as a problem in my life, i brought it up to help you get some perspective

[Asker]

Yes. But that was a "bigger problem" in your life. In my life I don't have many problems except for problems like this.

[OnionsNstuff]

you said in your question you'd feel like killing yourself over this. that makes it come across as if this is the biggest problem in the world. i am only saying that you are being very selfish, that is all. no offense.

[Asker]

Selfish because someone in your family passed away? I don't think so.

[OnionsNstuff]

No, nothing to do with me or my family. Sorry, I'm not very good with puberty logic, I don't think I can make you understand what I mean. Never mind :)

[Asker]

You said I was being selfish because your sister passed away and I don't really think that that's a problem for me. Of course it was a problem for you because it happened in YOUR life.

[OnionsNstuff]

Like I said, you misunderstood.

[XNicholeMariex3]

... Are you going to have children in the future? Because that requires gaining weight.

Also, it's life... metabolism will eventually slow down... and you will have to become more physically active.

I'm 5'2" and my weight elevates between 110-117 pounds. If you are fat then I am fucking enormous.

... and I'm not even close.

[Asker]

Hmm...

[Climber]

2 pounds is just the daily variation on water content. Eat something salty and it adds. Eat vegetables and fruit only and you loose it. You will even notice this difference between morning and evening measurements. And 101 pounds is far too low for 5'2". Your BMI is in the danger zone. Your minimum weight should be 110 pounds.

[Asker]

Most 15 year olds are skinny and grow into their bodies and weight. So I'm not in the danger zone

[Climber]

See the other answers and don't compare with others. Follow objective data.

[WeaponZero]

If you got taller your weight would go up because your bones and structure have more mass. You can't lose the weight. You have to accept that you're still growing which means you're going to weigh more and that's the bottom line

[akadatank44]

You are fine. Stop worrying. If a guy only likes you for your looks he is not the one.

[muspelhem_5]

Why do you care about your weight?

[Asker]

BecAuse I care

[muspelhem_5]

What are the consequences of your weight?

[Asker]

Being fat

[muspelhem_5]

Lol, okay, and what are the consequences of that?

[Asker]

Nobody liking/marrying me

[muspelhem_5]

How about this:

Whenever you meet a guy you like, you figure out whether he likes you. If he does, then great, if not, then move on.

That seems more useful than making all sorts of prior assumptions and obsessing over your weight.

The truth is that some guys only like skinny girls, others only like girls with more body fat, and some like them all.

The only way to find out is to go explore.

[HollywoodGlam]

101 lbs is way too far from being fat.

[Asker]

Yeah but for my height, no

[HollywoodGlam]

For your height, you should be at least 108 lbs.

[Nathand]

because you are insecure.

[kittyd7015]
