Um, seriously, I'm getting freaked out from everyone who is UNDER their ideal body weights asking if they are fat. I'm 5'4, 109 pounds and my doctor says I'm too skinny. Why on earth are people my size and smaller asking people they don't know if they're fat or not?

Because they read too much glamour magazine which is basically all a photoshop contest.

Well you're definitely not fat--and if you like yourself the way you are and you are healthy then there is no problem with being under weight---and the same goes for over weight--
In my opinion you could stand to put on a few lbs it would probably fill you out nicely--
I used to weigh 108 and I was 5'7" but as I got a little older I started gaining weight--and I would get mad when people told me I was too skinny--even tho I ate more then anyone I knew--I got older--I guess my metabolism slowed down and now I weigh about 125--

Because most people base there appearance off of celebrities in the lime light and well right now the biggest thing for every one to gossip about is skinny Hollywood
what about latifah, lil Kim , Reba, Liv Tyler, ..... all these are at healthy weights yet you don't hear much about them it is because there is no gossip to discuss

people sometimes care tooo much about their outer appearnce they always are freaking about how they look they might be thin but they think they are fat

Poor self esteem. Just be yourself, be healthy, have fun, and stop worrying about what other people think.

I hear ya, don't understand it either. Think that many of us get too caught up in society's expectations.
