Dont worry. You are tall for your age, and you are at the right weight for your height. Your BMI (body mass index) is 21.4. The BMI for a normal weight for 5'9" and 145 pounds is 18.5-24.9, so you are even on the low side for that. Just try not to compare yourself to others because you are fine.

NOOOOOO, YOU are NORMAL you're doctor is right. Trust me, doctors will tell you if you are overweight or not and if he said you are normal - just believe him. You are tall and all those other little girls you go to school with might not reach their full height and weight until they are 18, so you might be getting there quicker than the rest of them - but that is no reason for you to feel insecure or develop a horrible eating disorder. I had eating disorders all of my life and let me tell you I was normal like you when I got started and I ended up with MAJOR problems with my weight when I got older. PLEASE, I beg you - don't go down that road - It's hell on earth and you do not need to put yourself in that situation.
THis is the best advice I can give you - I wish I could go back to 13 and follow it myself. Get involved with school, hobbies, sports, arts, or what ever it is you love to do - and get your mind off your weight and your size. Focus on your quality of life and persueing your dreams and when your mind is busy on those things you won't ever have to worry about food or your weight or any of it - it will just naturally fall into place. Trust me - that is true. God bless you - take care of yourself.

Look, even your doctor said you were normal and you know a lot of girls have eating disorders, so surely you know you are fine. At your height, which is pretty tall for your age, 145lb is perfectly healthy. Your BMI is 21.4, which is about average for your age and height. Because most people are probably shorter than you, it's hard for you to comapare, but trust me you sound very slim, but healthy. Skin and bones is not a good look, so please don't go down that route when there is absolutely nothing wrong with your weight or body. HTH : )

That is not fat at all! That's average. I'm 5'4 too and weigh the same thing. Some people just carry weight in different places of their bodies. So someone who weighs the exact same thing can be bigger in certain areas.

There are a lot of us who feel the way you do...some days are worst than others. My friend calls them fat and ugly days. They feel horrible. It is not your fault that you feel that way there are so many messages in the media that tell us that we need to be skeletons to be beautiful. I have recovered from being an anorexic and it is not what you want...I destroyed my health forever by doing that...I ruined my heart and my teeth from vomiting, I did something to my pancreas and now I never feel hungry...it really sucks to be me. I don't worry about how I look so much anymore...I have friends who are all sizes and we all have to struggle to love our bodies...it isn't really enough to be thin either you know, the world expects thin women to have breasts...and many of them don't. My Mom always told me...a man will love you for who you are...they don't really care so much about beauty as you might think...and she is right...a person who is always freaking out about their appearance isn't a very good companion. I always say...guys like good listeners...they can talk about themselves for hours!!!!! Find your own style and remember that you can't be anything but beautiful when you are as young as you are. You are all so beautiful it breaks my heart...I wish you could see it...I know you can't because none of us could either.
