Answer 1

you need to eat fast or else you wont have any kids when you get older

Answer 2

Well put it this way, please don't get any thinner. It is a little worrying that that people think you are skinny yet you think you are fat, you sound as if you are borderline anorexic. Anorexia is a very serious illness which can result in death, please do not become obsessed about your weight, eat a well balanced and healthy diet. Many magazines aimed at teenagers and women constantly show photographs of grossly underweight female models, pop singer and actresses which can make some of us think that this is the way we should look - believe me it is not. Just take a look at Victoria Beckham, she looks so scrawny and unhealthy, I actually watched a tv programme the other week about seriously under weight women, a very famous doctor was predicting when these women would die and he calculated that Victoria Beckham if she remains as she is now will only live to be 52 years of age. Isn't that scary ? Remember that you should want to be in control of all aspects of your life and allowing food to rule your life is not being in control. Eating disorders are an addiction just the same as alcoholism. If you are unable to talk honestly about this please see a doctor who will help you get the counselling that you may need.
I wish you all the very best and remember that those people who tell you that you are skinny are probably very concerned about you, whatever you do don't push them away.

It might appear to you that you are fat because of your portions. What I mean and not to be insulting is if you are flat chested skinny waisted and then have a larger then average behind then when you look at your self all you see is the butt not the fact that you really are skinny. These areas can vary depending on the person. I had a big butt size 10 pants and only weighed 105 pounds before having kids. Now I'm just fat....

Answer 4

Sounds like your suffering from a form of eating disorder which also causes distortion of image. If everyone is telling you that your skinny then this is the rule that you should judge yourself by. Most likely you are skinny but keep seeing the opposite when you look in the mirror. At this point it is very important for you to seek counseling and and the help of a doctor so that you can work on your self image as well as gain a healthy weight. Good luck and be well.

Answer 5

OK you're are just suffering from insecurity. It's quite normal, everyone goes thru it at one point or another. But really, you are really skinny!! You don't even weigh 100 pounds!! Just don't do anything stupid like not eat or eat and then throw everything up. It's not good for your body and when you are that light, your body needs all the food it can get. But do start thinking positive about your body. You are not fat. You are no where near fat!

Answer 6

You actually should weigh about 115# not 93. Your actual weight should be calculated for every 5"=100# and then add 5# for every inch there after. You may be seeing something in the mirror that really isn't true...the scale doesn't lie, go by that and don't look in mirrors or limit eating healthy..accept yourself for who you are. Be healthy and happy. Maybe you may need some help if you continue seeing yourself as you are not...get some help ask your pediatrician for referrals or talk to someone you trust to get help.

Answer 7

my friends tell me the same thing. all of the time. but they are all fat. im guessing your friends are fat also. they just hang out with you because youre skinny. you know that right. they cant hang around other fat people because it makes them feel bad. because it reminds them how fat they are. its sad huh. oh well. at least we're skinny. you know what else would be sad. if a skinny girl had a fat baby. and the baby was so fat that she couldnt carry it. that would be sad. poor little baby. sad but cute, maybe. depending on how fat the baby was. because sometimes, fat babys are cute. and sometimes the baby is so fat that its repulsive. you know what i mean. i wonder if its hard to find clothes that fit a fat baby? i have never seen a baby lane bryant at the mall. or a fat baby gap store. poor little fat baby. cant find clothes that fit. and nobody can pick him up. that is sad. i was kidding about your friends being fat. i dont know your friends. i wouldnt worry about it to much. i hope you like my answer. i dont normaly put this much effort into my answers. but i liked your question. i guess because people always try to offer me food. when they are eating. i just dont want to eat as much as other people. and some of my friends realy eat alot. its kinda gross watching them eat. they just keep eating and eating, and eating. its like all they want to do is eat. its sad realy. i heard that some people get this thing called an oral fixation from not getting enough love when they are babys. so it makes them want to put stuff in their mouth. like cigarettes. or food. and they have all these bad cravings. because they are trying to fill some big ol void in thier life. i guess they get satisfaction out of food somehow. i dont know. but when you think about it, its realy sad.

Answer 8

Giving us your height & weight doesn't really help, because you could be really fat but light (fat is lighter than most other tissues which make up your body), but I suppose it's safe to say that you're well in the acceptable range, closer to underweight than acceptable though.

I'd follow the assumption that acceptable = average & so I'd say that you're probably really skinny as others say, because you're really rather light.

Answer 9

You're not fat.

If you're like me:
You're not fat, and you probably know it. You like to protest the people who tell you you're skinny because it probably makes you feel they want to you gain weight. You don't want to gain weight. So you tell them "I'm fat"... "I'm fat"

I like to whine I'm fat I'm fat but I know I'm perfectly normal

If you're not like me and seriously think you're fat, you may be having an eating disorder or for some reason you're not happy with your looks.

Do you realize that you're somewhere in the range to be not eligible to be a blood donor because you're too skinny.

Answer 10

How old are you? 93 pounds and only 5'3 I believe your ok, but your not fat..

Answer 11

That's a common sympton in anorexics. Do you also find watching food channels, or reading cook books satisfying? If so, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Besides, you are too skinny. You really are.
