I guess I have an hourglass figure..

[Anonymous]

I am 5'3" and my measurements are 37-30-37... I weight 142 pounds. I feel fat and ugly and blaaaah.

does that sound all that terrible, or is it okay?

Hourglass figures have a waist difference of 12 inches...not to be rude,but that is why the population of women with hourglass figures is so low,because it's a 12 inch difference,not any less.

But...i'm 5'3 and I know girls who are in the 140's and actually aren't fat.

That's not the ideal hourglass shape. Not many women have it. All that matters is that you're happy with how you look and feel. Diet and exercise couldn't hurt.
