I know I am not fat. Closer to fat than skinny, but still.
I am 5"3, 110 lbs, and with 90-68-90 measurements. This may not sound fat, but people call me "truck" "fat", and I don't know...
I know I should love myself, and that the rest will just follow. I saw this show on MTV, and there was this girl about twice my size but she was all popular and stuff.
Yet... I don't know. I want people to say "she has a great bod' " and stuff. Don't tell me "do more exercise" - I used to do 4 times a week at least an hour, now I'm down to 3 times because my grades began to drop.
Am I really that fat?
Should I become anorexic? I love food so much...
I live as healthily as possible. Water, veggies, the whole package.
I know what I SHOULD do. Leave it alone, focus on other things, leave "being hot" to other people with adequate genetics. But it really hurts. I am not a stupid girl, I know this is empty stuff that won't give me joy anyhow...
Any thoughts?... Please, no "gimme a break" etc..

1. I know, my weight is low considering my measurements.... Yet I wouldn't care about my weight if my measurements were different :P
2. Btw, for THOSE who did not understand, I DO excercise. 3 times a week, and intensively. THAT'S why I asked not to write "go do more excercise".
(That was directed to one specific person... Sorry if it came out mean, but it was just so annoying to read that... )
Thx people... It's a real nice 'community' here :P

You are nowhere near fat. Some of us are just built differently and those people calling you names have issues of their own.
I used to be built like you but shorter-4'11"-and heavier-120lb.
Also my bust and hips were larger-more like 100cm. I felt HUGE around all the little 5'6" princesses with their tiny little bones. Old friends from around that time have told me how hot I looked (guys) and how bony and flat chested they felt around me(girls). Also, I'm much larger now and would kill to be that size again, but it's probably not happening. So now I focus on the fact that I am and have always been healthy, eat a sensible diet and exercise regularly-and I'm much more comfortable in my skin now than I used to be. Start trying to be happy with yourself now and you will have many more years of happiness to come! It might help to talk with a licensed therapist, she can help you see the sadness in others that causes their cruelty and show you how to stop any negative thinking you've gotten into the habit of. Best of luck to you.

1. You are not really that fat. A lot of people say "oh, you're so fat. try a diet or somethin," but they really don't mean it, and I can honestly say they would feel like dirt if they knew how their comments were making you feel.
2. Don't you dare become anorexic. What's odd is that the high school health class scare about anorexia is "oh, you'll become so thin to the point where you just die because your organs get squished and your kidneys fail, etc." but that is very inaccurate. The symptoms of anorexia are much worse. Your electron transport system transfers the fat intake you get from foods you eat and uses it to produce energy for your body (This is where calories come in. A calorie is the amount of energy produced by the fat). When you exercise, this speeds up the process of converting fat to energy, so you burn the fat faster (This is why exercising helps you to lose weight). The fat that is not burned into energy is stored in your body, and this is the belly fat that tends to accumulate. When you become anorexic, your electron transport system no longer has food and fat to get energy from (This is why you get tired if you go a long time without eating). So, your body begins to burn fat that has been stored in your body. However, your body doesn't know which fat is okay to burn. It begins to "EAT" fat in your vital organs (ie heart, lungs, kidneys, brain) until you die of a heart attack or brain failure. This is why if you look at an anorexic's autopsy, there will be holes all over the heart and brain. It's very scary, very painful, and very deadly. And need I say, EXTREMELY not worth losing another ten pounds.
3. Just remind yourself of all the positives to being more well-rounded than all the blonde cheerleader and size 00 supermodels. You can probably pull of a dance move or two without looking like a skinny *** white girl. You probably have a bit more strength and agility. You probably stand a much better chance to defend yourself and "take someone out" if ever necessary. Also, you save a lot of trouble when you go to the mall because the most common size is a shrimpy little size 2 or 3, and if you're a 5 or up, they may actually have things in your size. :D

Please don't listen to what others say. I am 5'8'' and I weigh 170 lbs and some people would call me fat (especially my boyfriend-he calls me fat*** all of the time) but I love myself for just who I am. You need to realize that you must love yourself before anyone else will. Look in the mirrior and see how beautiful you are. You are not fat and if you feel like crap just cause other people then that does make you ignorant! You are letting them win. And why would you become anorexic?? That is a serious mental illness that is deadly...do you want to be mentally ill, ugly, and unhealthy? Please, listen to yourself and how silly you sound. Be thankful for your body...people in wheelchairs would give anything to have your normal and functioning body. I promise with age you will learn to think for yourself and to love your body just the way it is...

merely ignore approximately your weight and stay your life to the fullest. do no longer enable every person drag you down and you're your best worry. this is not there physique and this is not significant what they think of. I had the comparable difficulty this twelve months and that i become disturbing what every person would think of of me yet I talked to my mom approximately it and she or he pronounced i become my best worry. Then I surpassed over my weight themes and had a ultimate season. in case you're disturbing approximately your weight merely drink plenty greater water and leap rope for 30 min. an afternoon and this is going to begone in approximately 3 to 4 months. additionally, have your human beings assist you and don't be disturbing they're your human beings. in case you do want to loose weight additionally do no longer consume white foodstuff merely consume culmination and vegetables and lean-meat like hen and fish. you additionally can placed down your video pastime and decide for a walk around the block.

You MUST have made a typo, 5'3" and 110 is actually just a smidgen below what most doctors would call healthy. It is just impossible for you to be 90-68-90 at that weight.

Just because you don´t have an hourglass figure doesn´t mean that you are fat. 5'3" and 110 pounds is ideal! My measurements are roughly 87-68-88 but but I´m shorter and weigh more than you. Most people don´t consider me fat, I consider myself slightly overweight.

well, u said do not tell u give me a break or suggest u start exercising. so i am sorry, but give me a break and go exercising. or go to surgery - they put silicone some places and pump fat out of other places. and by the way to me u don't sound that thin. to be thin for your weight u should be 5'7 height
and by the way this woman who posted above me IS FAT according to all standards, even the lowest. and if it swims likea duck, flies like a duck and sounds like a duck it is a duck. so if even her bf calls her fat she is fat. so instead of justifying her disgusting fstness here she would rather go to gym. which u should do too by the way
