You are FINE! You really need to stop worrying about that type of thing, and get out and have fun!

Sounds like your bloating when you eat. You could be allergic/sensitive to something your eating like wheat or dairy. Its also possible your body is lacking in digestive enzymes...Natural Factors make a full spectrum digestive enzyme supplement that works pretty good. It would help reduce the bloating. Maybe watch how much your eating and of what. If I eat pasta, bread, red meat, cheese or gorge myself I look pregnant until the next day. When I was 24 I would eat 1/2 a grapefruit after every meal I ate and that seemed to reduce the bloating as well. Some more other things are mild dysfunction of thyroid and adrenal glands. Low energy and bloating after eating are some of the symptoms. To learn more about that just search "low energy and bloating" and choose the result written by Dr. Rind. Mild dysfunction can be easily treated with natural supplements and diet changes that you will find on that website.

There is probably nothing, NOTHING wrong with you.
We aren't all supermodels... Too many people think that if you're not fat, then you're perfect. Very few people are perfect, but skinny or otherwise 'normal' people will have very, very different body types as well.
You're too hard on yourself, maybe because all media outlets, from TV to Magazines, only show perfect people. Ugly Betty is actually played by an attractive actress, and the mass murderer in "Monster" was played by Charlize Theron. Amazing, they use beautiful people, and then ugly them up!
Chances are if I were to see you in person, I would probably think you were attractive...and so would many other guys. You need to stop worrying about it.
You're body's not weird, it's just not Sophie Dahl's, or Heidi Klum's.

Your body sounds completely normal to me. 115 pounds is within the "normal" weight range for your height (it's down at the lower end of "normal," but it doesn't put you in the underweight category at all). If you're unhappy with the way your body looks, I'd suggest that you see a counselor to talk about body image issues. If you don't exercise regularly, you might also start trying to add some daily exercise into your routine -- this may help increase your appreciation for how healthy and strong your body truly is.

Sounds like my bod. Enjoy and appreciate your body now, because it won't last. In five years your body is going to start getting lumpy, your hips will fill out, your breast will get larger, but then will start to droop a little. Your stomach is getting huge because you are probably eating larger meals than you need. Once you start to digest, your stomach should look normal. You are not too skinny, are at the right weight for your height.
I really miss my smaller frame and hate myself for being so critical of my bod when I was younger.

Fergie. Amazing body but resembles Rocky Dennis from the movie Mask

You sound just fine. Your bone structure and maybe a higher muscle percentage will make you appear skinnier at the same height and weight as someone else.

You are lucky, you have a skinny figure. You don't know how much I struggle to get that extra fat off from my skin.
Don't listen to your friends. Just feel good for what you have and walk with your head straight up.

Gas and bloating. Consult a doctor, as it could be a myriad of things and Yahoo answers is nowhere near licensed to give you medical advice.

Maybe it's true. You better go to the fast food restaurants and eat a lot! No one likes skinny girls because they look like an alien or a boy!
