5'4" and 90 lbs?

Question

I'm 5'4" and 90 pounds. Am I too skinny? I've heard I'm model-worthy and pretty, but I don't know. I guess I'm getting more confident, but by Indian standards I'm supposed to be really gorgeous. Only thing is that I live in AMERICA HELLO and no one at school thinks I'm anywhere close to pretty, let alone date-able. Advice?

WELL! I can't believe it. I got like, a billion answers in 16 answers. Okay, I have a few things to say: I eat as much as I can, truly, but I get full REALLY fast (I have a tiny stomach?) Thanks to all of you who are so supportive! And to others... well, you're confident enough to diss me online so it doesn't matter what I say, you'll just get a big head. About modeling: too bad I'm too short, but hello, I'm 13!! I think I'll grow a bit, don't you? (I love being Indian, I only added that because that might be why I'm not ahem "date-able") So, still have stuff to answer?

I meant I got a billion answers in 16 minutes. my bad.

Answer 1

Your BMI is underweight, I would recommend you gain about 10 pounds. Being 100 pounds is minimum and probably still too skinny by other standards. If your young, just be athletic and eat right foods. Don't let others make you feel like your not beautiful. But when it comes to weight, health comes first. Model height is minimum 5'9" and in order to grow you need to give your body lots of healthy foods. Meat on your bones is neccessary!!!!
BTW, beautiful comes from the inside...meaning CONFIDENCE!

Answer 2

Yes, you are to skinny. But if I were you I would be fine. I want to be a model soooooo bad. But Im 5'3 and weight 110 pounds. But "you" to the people at your school may look anerixic and say you throw up after every meal probably. Well you r beautiful, but just gain like 10 more pounds you'll be good.

Answer 3

I'm 5'8 and 105pounds. You don't sound too skinny..

But WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT TO BE A MODEL?

It's the most pathetic industry, and i don't plan to go back there. And there's the fact that you're 2 inches shorter than the minumum height.

Don't worry about the fact that you're indian... you're beautiful anyway, and besides, you AREN'T THE ONLY INDIAN IN AMERICA. Who care's if you aren't datable..You will be out of school :)

Answer 4

The old modeling characteristics, yes. You're an inch taller than me but weigh 20 pounds less...and I'm still thin, just carry meat in the right places. You may be model-worthy according to the soon to be old standards, but you certainly aren't at a healthy weight.

Answer 5

At 5'4" it wouldnt hurt you to gain a few pounds but in a healthy way not by eating candy and soda. Sometimes being datable is a matter of being aprochable, I am 24 and such not too removed from HS. I always had trouble getting dates until I got old enough to date men mature enough not to be afraid of my looks and outgoing personality. I had lots of guy friends, very few BF's but that all changed after highschool.

Answer 6

I'm alottttttttttttttttttttttttt taller and 98 pounds but I have an eating disorder don't worry about what other people think like I did its not worth it and one day you'll be too deep into a hole to work yourself out so just be healthy .

Answer 7

That's crazy!!!!!! I'm shorter than you are and heavier and yet I'm still considered pretty attractive! You might just live in a more shallow place than I do. Either way, you sound a little underweight so I'd ask a doctor about your height to weight ratio.

Answer 8

I'm average and I'm 110. Not fat at all. People everywhere say that I am perfect but 90 lbs for your height seems good, I bet you would be able to model!!

Answer 9

Sometimes I think you anorexic people ask these questions to make the normal people want to kill themselves! I mean seriously.....

"So, like... I'm 5'7 & I totally weigh like 85 pounds!! I am so totally like depressed!! I don't know how I got this FAT!?! Somebody just take a cleaver to my big, jiggly leg. Any suggestions as to how I could get down to 65... cuz I can almost see myself when I turn sideways!!!!! Oh ma ghaaaa!!!!!!"

Give me a freaking break!!! Go eat a cookie...retard
