Embracing your size?

[Anonymous]

So I'm 9 and a half stone and I'm 5 foot 3, my BMI is average is just inside the average range and I have DDD cups. Yet, In the modern day society I'd still be perceived as ''chubby''. (I've been told this by a few people, not that I really care) lol

To me I think this is a compliment. I'm happy with my body and I will embrace my ''chubbiness''. Lots of people would say to you that you should be in the average weight range so you are healthier and live a longer life. I am happy with my size because I am in the ''average'' or ''healthy'' range, but the people who are overweight/underweight are told to gain/lose weight.

Should our weight really be that important. if we are happy? should we not embrace our sizes, whether that be large or small? Life is about living and not nit picking at the size of your body! I'd rather live a short and at peace life than a long life filled with depression and sadness.

What are your views on the matter? Are you on the large/small side and wish to change or do you care? I know other people will have different opinions to my own and I respect those and would like to hear them.

Your weight is not bad at all for your height- 135 lbs in America.

Its less about your weight, and more about your measurements. Your waist should measure, in inches, less than half of your height in inches, if it is, then you are healthy.

Its also about what is the appropriate weight for your frame size. If you have a super small frame, then weight is going to sit on you differently, and you may be meant to be much smaller. Or, you could be like me, 5'1, 130/135 pounds and have a heavy frame so your weight is fine for your build.

I think if you are healthy in medical terms and you are happy, then you are fine. Eat right, remain active and you should be just fine.

I am 5'5" or 5'6" on the large side..

I weight 150 pounds...

Can't loose weight...but I can gain it easily..i excercise regularly...but its a struggle...some people still call me fat...although most is muscle...

But I learned to embrace the bigness of being size 6. not 4 or 2...i learned...People can be mean.

hold it! You're a size 10 with me! I'm also a size 10.. Where I live size 10 is classified as the 'perfect size! So I'm sure you're a lovely size

You should try swimming! Its great way to lose weight and tone up :')

You certainly don't sound fat, you sound pretty good to me. I'm uber skinny, so I struggle to gain weight, I eat everything in sight and try to work out (run, push ups, stuff I can do without going to a f***ing gym) and yet I'm 6'0 and like 120 lbs, but it's mostly muscle (the little there is) and muscle is denser than fat, so I look skinnier. Oh well, I don't have a problem with my body, I just want to be stronger really. But you sound like you're within a good range

haha! I eat everything in sight too :L I'm not the type of person to care about calories or the like. I just eat what I want, when I want and play the sports I love! Maybe you should pay to go to the gym just one day and sneakily ask questions about how to gain weight/get fit all in one? then you can just do what they say, only at home ? :')

this sucks...Most dudes weight more than me...im 150...and I workout..i still can't loose sh*t...but your 120.. :(

well, I think I have a naturally uber high metabolism, because I pound protein shakes too from time to time, I'm just really slow at gaining weight, but I'm 17 so I shouldn't be getting any taller and my metabolism should be slowing down
