To lose it or love it?

[Anonymous]

So...I'm 5'3, 112lbs. Ideally, I'd like to be 105lbs. Before you all go on about how that's too small, let me explain. Before I got a job at a fast food place, I was at 105lbs. Since working there and eating there, I've gained the weight. I don't look anorexic at 105. I look quite normal and toned. Now I want to go back to being 105.

Looking in the mirror now, I see myself as not fat, but not desirable. I've been fit and trim my whole life, and this weight gain is not going over well.

Now, no one else except me and my boyfriend, have noticed this gain. My boyfriend is only aware of it because since he's a workout junkie, I asked him about it. So...should I try to lose the weight, or should I just accept it?

I wouldn't have an issue with it, but my body is really sensitive about weight. Like, I feel lethargic if I get anywhere above 110, and I don't carry it well at all. Thoughts?

well it's not a lot of weight,and 112 sounds like a good weight for your height,but if your body doesn't feel right at that weight,why SHOULDN'T you lose it and feel good about yourself? I don't think 105 is too low for someone your height,heck,i'm 5'6 and 103lbs,and well,i'm alive-BMI is just a guideline,if your body feels right and you feel good at a certain weight,then that weight is right.

I don't really know why you're asking a bunch of anonymous people of what you should do with your body...do what you want. What makes you feel better? If you feel better at 105, then lose weight but just do it in a healthy way. If you don't give a f***, don't do anything. lol.

just replace with healthier food. you say fast food made you gain weight. so instead of eating a cheesburger, have a salad with grilled chicken. instead of drinking pop, drink water. it should come right off.

I don't like salads...and I don't like pop either lol

[nermalinda]

ok well my point is eat whatever you were eating before fast food made you gain weight :)

you should always be confident in your body and love it...that being said, you know when you are out of shape, carrying a few extra pounds , etc and I see no problem with wanting to get back to a body you once had.

also, I don't think 105 pounds is too small for someone your height

maybe your just thickening up, as you go from teenager to woman your thighs get thicker, the bones, you get curves, it could just be normal and natural. your at that age.

If you don't love your body now then you should what it takes to love it once more, good luck!
