A lot of non fat people feel fat (see an anorexic kid) It's just self conscience . Maybe try toning some muscles, having a little more muscle makes anyone feel better about their body.

the BMI is not used to determine health or fitness only the potential risk for central obesity and it's related effects. it also doesn't measure the amount of body fat that a person has. you can have a low BMI with a high body fat percentage. I've seen women with BMI's lower than 20 with 35% body fat and higher. there is no correlation between the BMI and the body composition

Well it could just be your imagination or you are being too hard on yourself.
Sometimes you can be a healthy weight, but still carrying too much body fat. If you are small framed or have lost muscle due to yo-yo dieting, this could be a possibility.
Or maybe you just need to tone up. We all have problem areas, no matter what we weight. Just find a good toning programme to firm up your wobbly bits! lol

nicely you're wearing a saggy dress and not using a belt. perchance it really is why you experience fat. you seem as if you're at an common weight. the only individuals that ought to pull off that kind of dress and not using a belt is extremely very skinny women. i'd say you're round 100 thirty pounds or fifty 8.9 kg.

your problem my be with your mind. Some people even though they are slim will view themselves as needing to lose more weight.
This can form into anorexia and other eating disorders
