I'm 5'5, 130lbs, wear a size 5, and have a 36c chest.
What I want to know is, when I get undressed before a shower and look into the mirror, the back of my thighs and now even my butt a little look as if there is some cellulite. It's not super bad, but I mean can see something. In the past five months I gained 20lbs. The reason for that is I broke it off with an abusive boyfriend. I was with him for 5 years, while with him I rarely ate because I was so upset. I could go two days and not eat. I was underweight. Now I am in a happy relationship and I eat two times a day. And I quit smoking.
so if I'm not overweight, is it normal for the back of my thighs and butt a bit to look like this?

Totally normal. Cellulite is a buildup of fatty tissues, generally thought to be caused by toxins in the food we eat and our environs. So much of the food we eat these days has all sorts of weird chemicals, and the female body seems to be super-sensitive to this, storing it as cellulite. Also, because of your previous eating habits, your metabolism is probably down, and wouldn't break down nasties at a peak rate.
There's a few ways to deal with this, if you want to. Excercise would probably make a big difference, if you're not already. Running along the beach is supposed to be great, as well as dancing and bike riding. There's also heaps of creams out there, some of which actually work (L'Oreal and Avon have worked for me), and daily massage should help the tissue drain better.
Then again, some chicks just get cellulite. I danced intensively for 8 years, was super fit, and had "hard" cellulite, which is really difficult to move. But, seriously, yes, this is normal.

I am so busy with my 5 kids (all under 8 years old!) and I hate exercising and dieting, life's too short! So I thought the only option for getting rid of my ugly cellulite was to book in with a set of weekly medical roller treatments. Job done.
However, they cost me a monstrous $3000 and, you guessed it, did absolutely nothing. I couldn't believe it. It left me thoroughly depressed.
I saw this info on the web and I gave it a go, what did I have to lose now! And, my god this is genius. Quick and easy. I feel so wonderful in my new, smooth, renewed figure! I am a yummy mummy now!
Cellulite Disappear?

Though you're not overweight, putting on that much weight in a short time frame can cause this. Just a heads up, unfortunately, all the "miracle creams" that supposedly help with cellulite don't work.
A dermatologist may be able to offer you some assistance with some skin smoothing techniques, but generally minor cosmetic surgery is needed to completely smooth it out. Of course, I don't know how "bad" your cellulite is, but if it's not too bad, and you do something about it now rather than later, then the dermatologist may be able to help out the best!
Good luck and CONGRATS on getting your life back!!!

cellulite has nothing to do with how much you weigh, its the toxins in your body! You need to drink 8 glasses of water a day, eat 3 healthy meals a day and have fruit in between meals. There is also an amazing cream that you can use from Avon its called cellu-sculpt. It gets rid of cellulite within a few weeks, but you still have to eat plenty of healthy food every day and drink loads of water. Hope this helps

A little cellulite can look sexy if its on the back of your legs or just below the butt cheek, if you get a tan it will look better to. But to much is just gross. Your 5'5 you need to lose 10 pounds OK. But if your fine with 130 its cool depending on where the fat is being distributed, perferably big butt and boobs is where the fat looks nice. Not the stomach, shoulders or love handles
