How small do I really need to be?

[amenah]

my boyfriend still thinks I'm too fat because of my weight. I'm not a skinny mini and never have been but I'm the perfect "8" shape. I'm 140 lbs and go to the gym everyday so I have a lot of lean muscle.

i wear a size 8 dress size and I'm 5'5. should I really try to be 115 lbs like he says. is it even possible. I have always taken pride in the fact that I'm one of the lucky few women who have perfect measurements for the hour glass. I'm afraid if I go that small I will loose all my shape.

no offense but your boyfriend sounds kind of like a huge jerk for saying something like that.

In my opinion you should never let any guy talk to you like that, especially not someone you date.

I'm 5'5" and have always been between 130-150 and between a size 6-9. This is a normal healthy weight/size. Everyone is different. Some girls are 5'1" and 180 lbs and super cute, and some girls are 6'0" and 120 lbs because that's just how they're genetics are, and they are pretty, too.

If you go to the gym a lot, that means you have a lot of muscle, which weighs much more than fat. It also makes you a lot healthier, gives you more energy, and makes you more toned.

Lots of guys love girls with curves and muscle. If your boyfriend wants a skinny girl, then why did he date you? He needs to go find a girl whose body he's happy with, and you need to find a guy who appreciates and respects you.

Never ever diet, starve yourself, or try to overexercise in order to change your natural healthy body. These tactics will only end up messing up your metabolism, not to mention your self esteem. It's not you that needs to change, trust me.

I know I'm not in the position to judge, but why are you with someone who makes you question how you feel about yourself? It's a stepping stone down the long, miserable path of emotional abuse and you don't deserve that one bit. You look like a very pretty girl and while your devotion to your boyfriend is admirable, I don't think he's worthy of it. Love is a two-way street and while you've made efforts to change your body for him, he should likewise make an effort to accept and love your body the way it is. It's your body and at the end of the day, you should love yourself more than anyone because your life is the only thing you have that's truly yours.

Sugar...for your height 132-139 is optimum from a helth prosprctive.

115 is just stupid. Do you know about the risks are to your health trying to maintain a weight that far below what any doctor will tell you is good for you?

Lets pick two...how about early onset osteoporosis, and a sharp decrease of your bodys immune system.

You work out twice a day and eat right. Just those two things and your measugements tell me you have a SMOKIN body.

This clown will NEVER be happy with how you look cause it isn't you he wants. He want's some image he has in his head.

Girl...you need to quit letting this jerk make you feel bad.

There is nothing wrong with you...RIGHT NOW!

You have a control freak on your hands, and it appears he is never going to change.

So I guess the real question is, are you going to spend the rest of your life trying to be something he will never think is enough?

Dang it woman...if I was your age and single I would steal you away from him in a heartbeat. You deserve so much better than what he is giving you.

All I need to read was the first line my boyfriend thinks I am fat. Pretty simple lose the extra weight and by that I mean him.

Break up with him.He saw your figure when he asked you,he can still see it today,he had 2 perfectly fine working legs and he can walk on right out.

Break up with him:-)

Hour glass figures are sexy. Your boyfriend is being a schmuck.

[thisislifebaby]

personally I would tell him to get lost, he sounds like a jerk! loads of guys would kill for a girl with a body like yours!

[mikkie180]

I would need to see how you look to render an opinion.

[nermalinda]

This sounds pervy. plus, it's not like your opinion is the golden standard on how much she should weigh. if that's her picture, she's gorgeous. the issue here is the fact that her boyfriend feels like it's OK for him to tell her that she needs to change, when she's clearly very healthy and beautiful. there are hundreds of guys who would LOVE to date her.
