Somehow, I tend to think that if you are 5'3" and almost (but not quite) 100 pounds, you are not even close to being fat. In fact, you are probably under your optimal weight, although "optimal weight" is different for everyone. If you are eating a pretty balanced diet (it sounds like you stay away from stuff like fast foods), aren't overeating or binge eating, and not doing things like forcing yourself not to eat (even if you are hungry) or vomitting, then the weight you are carrying is most likely the "optimal weight" for you. I wouldn't try to anything out of the ordinary to either gain or lose weight...just know that you are most likely right where you should be. As for your boyfriend (you don't say how old you are, but you sound like you might be a bit young for a real boyfriend--but that's just opinion of an old fart), if he has a problem with your weight, it's HIS problem, not yours. If he's worthy of being your boyfriend, he'll like you the way you are. If he insists that you be built like these unfed, emaciated, scarecrow-shaped, stick-figure, beanpole supermodels, then he is just being a pig (comes with the male genome, we can't help it). The proper response if he continues to pressure you to lose weight would be: "I am at a healthy weight, I look good and feel good. If you don't like me at this weight, K. M. A." (I don't know if that abbreviation is used in internet chat, but the K stands for Kiss and the M for My, got it?) Weight-wise, you are in a good place, and don't let some guy make you think otherwise...good luck and Merry Christmas.

Tell him to go to hell! You are skinny and not fat. he is a real a**** and he has a problem. Tell him to grow a longer D*** because it's not big enough for you. Give me a break, you listen to someone like that and think he cares about you? No honey he is a control freak and a real jerk, get away from him and anyone else like him. He'll be on to someone else soon no matter what anyway. It's him that has a problem. Not you. You are beautiful and skinny. Eat a sundae to celebrate his good riddance!! Meet a guy that thinks you are beautiful and loves you juat as you are. Love is not controlling or judgemental or hateful or envious. Love is kind and helpful and gentle. It's in the bible. Look it up so you will know it when you see it in someone. That will be the one you want to keep and you won't have to be anything but who you are.

Okay, I am actually 5'3", 118 lbs... And I am considered both skinny, and petite so I am not really sure as to why you think you have weight issues. You may mean that your body isn't toned or in shape, and if that is the problem then you can exercise to tone your body up... Good luck to you...Oh and by the way... Get a new man, not the BOYfriend you have now...

you are 5'3 and 100 lbs....you sound a little underweight to me. Most girls at least 17 and who are 5'3 that I know are around the 109-112. And your boyfriend is telling you to lose weight? Don't let him be your physical decider..if this guy feels like he has to get your body just the way HE wants it..he isnt worth your time.

It sound like you have mental issues, not weight issues!
If you go to any doctor he will tell you that you are under weight. Don't listen to any stupid guy. It doesn't seem like the two of you are very old. I'm six foot tall and I weigh 155 pounds. I look very sleek and trim, the taller you are the thinner you will look. I haven't weighed under a hundren pounds since I was in grade school. I've always been very tall.

Your bf needs help, because that is underweight for your height. Just because 2/3 of America are overweight, doesn't mean you will be and doesn't mean you have to go to the opposite extreme of being underweight. Neither being overweight or underweight is healthy, just remember that. Now get a new bf and be happy as you are. Take care : )

You are by NO means fat. If anything you are FAR too skinny. I agree with the everyone else. Get a new boyfriend, and for heaven's sake, eat some McDonalds!

We gain & lose weight many times in life. It's normal & not 2 worry until sick about it. I'm obese - over 30% fat, & weigh 260. @ age 40 -ish Ideal is 160-170 lb. Main thing is not to weight your self esteem!

At 100 lbs and 5'3, you are so not fat. You do not need to lose weight

If you only wear close to 100lbs, then you must be really skinny to begin with. You don't really have to lose any weight! Your bf is delusional about you losing weight! I mean... take Jessica
Simpson who's also 5'3", she weighs 110 pounds. There's really no need for you to lose weight. Please believe in yourself more.
