Am I the right size...?

Question

My husband says I'm fine, but I just feel fat sometimes.
I am 5'1" and I am 160 pounds. Lots of guys look at me, so they
must think I'm hot. Even women look at me. Maybe I should lose about
5 pounds.
Why do I feel so fat?

Answer 1

lose about
5 pounds.

Answer 2

My answer is going to include some science in it. First to see where you are in terms of your height to weight ratio calculate your BMI. The Body Mass Index is used to calculate the % of fat in relation to your height. This is only a tool. you are 5'1" and 160 lbs. Your BMI= 30.2.
<18.0=under weight
18.5-24.9=normal weight
25.0-29.9=overweight
30.0-39.9=obese

You appear to be at the low end of obese so dropping 5 - 10 lbs would lower your BMI. Now if your husband thinks you are fine, thank him and appreciate it; however, you know you feel and if you are uncomfortable with the way you are then lose a few lbs. This is entirely up to you, just remember you are of infinite worth no matter what shape or size you are; you are a daughter of God. The important thing here is for you to feel comfortable within yourself. The one thing to remember when it comes to weight it not only affects your judgement of yourself it also affects the internal you. I'm referring to your heart. Have you had a check up lately and if not I'd advise you to so you can see how your cholesterol stands. Too much bad cholesterol and high triglycerides put you at higher risk of cardiac trouble.

Answer 3

Well you are a little over the healthy weight range you should be about 120 but if you carry it well and have a nice face and hair and dress weigt appropriate then you are perfect. It's not how much you weight that matters it's how you wear it. Only lose your weight if you think that it may be interfearing with having a nice healthy long life. You need to be around for your husband and other loved ones so eat right and take care of yourself don't worry too much about your weight:)

Answer 4

Hey we're the same height and weight. According to our height and weight we are considered to be obese, but I don't feel that way at all. I just want to lose about ten pounds, just to be healthier. But just be confident of yourself. Sometimes it's hard because you see all these tall and skinny people. But being all different is what makes us all beautiful.

Answer 5

have you had any children lately? if so that could it. I know when i had my son i gained about 30 pounds i still can't fit into my before baby jeans. I have ten more pounds left or if not maybe you feel you need reassurance from your husband. When was the last time he told you that you are beautiful?

Answer 6

You are considered Obese according to the height weight chart, however I dont think that means a whole lot. If you are happy with who you are..

Answer 7
