Opinions on weight?

[Anonymous]

I'm terrified of gaining weight, it's one of my biggest fears.

Recently I've gained a little weight, around 5-10 pounds or so, and I feel disgusting. I'm around 135 pounds at 5'5 and I just feel gross.

I feel bulbous, globular and unappealing.

I've always had self-confidence issues but right now I feel down right repulsive.

I'm around 20 years old, I've never had a boyfriend and all my life I've been terrified to be in a physical relationship because I didn't want anyone to see me or my body.

I know women can be hard on themselves, there is no denying that, but are men just as hard on us as we are on ourselves?

Would you find it severely unattractive if a girl doesn't have a totally flat stomach or if she has a little bit of fat or a roll here or there? At what point/weight would you no longer find someone attractive?

Any decent, realistic guy is not going to find a 5'5, 135 pound girl to be anywhere near overweight. Mainly because they wouldn't be. You're right there close to ideal healthy weight. Maybe 5 pounds over, but who cares? 5 pounds is nothing.

This might seem kinda severe, but I would consider therapy if I were you. You obviously have some significant body image issues if you find yourself repulsive because you think you're overweight when you gain a few pounds. And it's obviously effecting your lifestyle if you've never had a boyfriend because you're so scared of people seeing you.

Seriously, try therapy. It might help. Don't let yourself stay unhappy. Fix your head, then worry about your body, if there's even anything to worry about.

Let's calculate your BMI : link

Your BMI: 22.5

Compare:

BMI Categories:

* Underweight = <18.5

* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9

* Overweight = 25-29.9

* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

You're absolutely normal.

Yes, girls are way more feminine if they're a bit rounded. Love handles are exquisite.

And it's determined by genes rather than by diet or by sports , or do you think the Williams sisters aren't sporty enough, lazy women lying on the couch all day and over eating? XD

For sex, we are not hard on you...in fact, we men will sleep with really fat chicks or really skinny bony chicks if we are drunk and horny enough...coyote ugly...

For relationship, we are hard on you but not as hard as you are on yourselves. Skinny means no curves and that is simply not feminine...that's a boy with breasts and vagina...a bit of fat allows for curves, the feminine hips and yumminess...but too much fat and then it's gross...I would say a bit of fat is good, not too much...

135 lbs at 5'5 is not even close to being fat. If they think your overweight, move and talk to the next guy. There are tons of guys out there in the world and there is one that will like you for who you are. not your weight. 5-10 lbs is nothing

Personally I find girls who have meat on there bones and are a little chubbier attractive. So don't feel unappealing and globular because there is someone out there for everyone
