I'm 19, 5'4'', and I weigh about 135, I've been eating healthy and working out everyday. Although I'd love to be thinner so I'd look better, sometime I wonder why the hell I'm doing this. Cuz i don't think I'm fat, you know? But whenever I see those girls on TV, or those super skinny girls aroud campus, it's like : Oh God, I wanna be like that! However unrealistic that might be. Why am I like that? It would be so much easier for me, if I could be more single-minded. Like, either I'm fat, or not fat. But instead of that, I'm like swinging between the two everyday. I hate myself...

just remember that it is the model's job to be very thin. Arent you glad that the media and people won't ruin your life for gaining 1/2 pound?
For me, when i start exercising and keep going at it, i feel so good about myself. I become more confident and i know that i am feeling and looking good.

PLEASE STOP. I am 20 5'2 and 200lbs. I love my body. Yes I have some issues with my body. I see those skinny girls all the time and I wish so bad to be that skinny. I have always been big. When i was much younger I cried a lot. Then i put myself in a realty check. Those people on TV get millions of dollars to be that skinny. me and you we get nothing but pain and heart ache for our weight. So my advice to you is to keep up the good work. Keep eating right and exercise that is all you need to do.

5'4 and 135 pounds isn't bad at all. Those girls you see on TV are probably too skinny. Models are paid to be rail thin, you won't gain anything for it. I'd love to have a supermodel body too, but then again I kind of like having a little meat on me, women are supposed to be curvy, not rigid and boney!

You are not fat, but if you do lose weight, maintain a healthy size. Most of those girls you are looking at on TV are not cute. No one wants to be able to see your skeleton. I'm sure you are beautiful the way you are. Maybe you should talk to someone professional.

I am 5'4" and weigh 150lb and am 38, I used to weigh 116, 128,134,138, it's your age, I remember thinking I was fat when I weighed 116lb, if you don't like yourself for who you are (and you're not fat), you'll forever worry about your weight like me.

I'm 5'4" and 113lb...used to be 142lb. My pants fit me a lot better compared to before. I love going shopping now because anything I try on fit me perfectly!!! Don't give yourself excuses not going on a diet. For a person who is 5'4", 105lb is still considered healthy weight. I'm aiming for 105lb...you should too. You feel a lot better about yourself.

eat correctly and get exercise- if you feel good physically, dont let the societal pressures bring you down emotionally- you're better than that.
my wife now weighs more than me (yuk!) but I still love her
