Could you help me to get my self esteem up about my weight?

[Anonymous]

I don't want bull sh*t answers about how I'm perfect the way I am because I know I'm not. Here's the problem, I think I'm fat and I know girls always do but this is starting to be depressing. I'm 5'7 and 110lbs. I know that's not big to some people but to me I feel HUGE. I've recently lost about 15 lbs from not eating. Not really a disorder but just not eating as much, I've thought about puking food up but I just cant, its against all my morals. Then today a guy(as much as I don't care about what he says) called me fat. I just hit rock bottom. Could you help me to get my self esteem up about my weight?

I'm 5'4 and 120 lbs, and nobody considers me fat! The reason you weigh 110 lbs is because of your height. The best thing I would do is to eat healthy and exercise to keep your body fit and lean, and never ever try to lose weight at a dramatic pace! It is NEVER good for your body. As for your self esteem, just compare yourself to those other fat people in your school, or look up fat people on google, and be glad you're not the size of the fattest man on earth! LOL! Also, just to let you know, ALL girls think they're fat! Even when you really aren't, you still think you are! So don't worry, you're not fat unless a close friend or relative says you're overweight, ok? Enjoy life, and even if you are fat, be thankful for having a healthy body, a family, education, money, food on the table, anything that you take for granted! Hope this helps!

Um I'm 5'8" and 120 and I'm considered underweight. Believe me, you're not fat... there is no possible way! If you don't believe me, then you absolutely need to get help... from a professional!

The guy is an idiot who thinks you have an eating disorder and is just being a butt head. Ignore him.

Quite honestly I would rather be called fat than underweight... People are always going on that underweight people are not attractive and the media is making us all go crazy for skinny... well they can go to...bleh! It's not true.

You are beautiful and you are fine the way you are. Just eat healthy and exercise! That is all you can do. You will maintain your healthy body weight... and that is what is important.

Love yourself!

"I don't want bull sh*t answers about how I'm perfect the way I am because I know I'm not."

Well I'm not going to say that because it's true, you aren't. Your 5'7" and 110 pounds gets you a BMI of 17.2. Anything under 18.5 is considered UNDERweight. If anything you should try to gain weight. You could gain 8 pounds and still be considered underweight.

For being 5'7" you should be around 125-130 pounds.

5'7 and 110lbs is fat? not even close

i'd be willing to bet the guy is someone who knows you and knows that you think you have a weight problem so he used that to make you feel like sh*t...

he also knows you're not really fat, but since that's how you see yourself he can use it to be a d*** whenever he wants against you.

Completely agree. The way I see it is you have to get professional help sweetheart. At 5'7 and 110 pounds? that's tiny, you really need to talk to someone to help you cope with your body image. One you've hit "Rock bottom" the only way is up. Hang in there hunnie bunnie.

You need to get help. If you don't have an eating disorder now you will be on the road to one.

Just because some idiot called you fat doesn't mean you are so don't internalize other people's negativity. If someone walked up to you and called you a tree you would just look at them stupid because you know you're not a tree. Well if someone calls you fat you should just brush it off in the same way because at 5'7 110 there is no way you are even "average" weight. You should talk to someone. Many times there is a deeper issue beyond just thinking you're fat.

Man this guy in my class called me ugly and it was horrible to my self esteem. But I just had to get over it. Some guys can't think of a real comeback/insult so fat/ugly is their first uncreative thought especially if they know you stress about your weight.

BMI doesn't say a thing so don't worry about being 'underweight'!

I'm also 5'7 and 113 lbs.

yeah I just gotta say that what you are is most definately NOT FAT AT ALL. lol girl, please let me say that if I thought you was fat I would tell you but with the info you have provided me with... there is no way in hell you could be fat in any way shape or form. just don't give a damn about any random dude with any random comment to you. trust me, your anything but fat. and something you can do is positively reinfoce your self. lik say things about yourself that you like. when thoughts come up in your head about your weight counteract those thoughts with 3 positive things in your head. if may sound crazy but it works. so good luck and I hope I helped hun:)

i'm 5'5 and 114-116 punds so I must be fatter then you, but if you really want to lose weight eat 5 proportioned meals a day and make sure it's healthy, and don't drink soda because it causes your stomach to blow up, and excersize, I'm no expert in losing weight so I hope I helped
