I am 5"5, I weigh between 125-130 lbs. I wear between 3-6 for a pants size. Am I fat or just paranoid?

Question

If anyone has any fast weight loss tips could you e-mail me or answer please. Thankyou.

Answer 1

You sound perfectly normal to me.

Why do you need justification from other people to tell you that you're not fat?

Answer 2

Why would you think you were paranoid? Do you think that other people are watching to see what you look like size-wise?

If you can fit in anything below a 12, then you are smaller than average. I would be head over heels if I could wear that size.

It took me a long time to come to terms with my body size and structure and to realize that I'll probably never wear a 14 again. But I'm okay. I give the very best hugs, and I cook like a dream. I feed lots of people and love most of them. Some people know that if I'm calling, they'll be receiving flowers really soon. That's what I think about me.

The point is, change your point of view from are they staring at my thighs to I think I'll say hi to the new girl. Don't focus on your faults, bodily or otherwise. Focus on how smart and interesting you are. How far you can run. How fit you are. How proud your parents are of you. This is a totally "you" solution: You have to decide not to think about what THEY'RE thinking and instead replace it with what YOU'RE thinking.

Well I'm 5'6" and 127 pounds and I wear anywhere from a 6 to a 10 depending on the manufacturer. At American Eagle...I'm a 6. At Bluenotes (Canadian store) I wear an 8....... 4/5 is awful skinny. I wouldnt fit into them, but maybe you have a different body shape than I do. I have a sporty/athletic shape. A 6 is probably the smallest I'll ever see in this lifetime! LOL Good luck and stick with your weight loss plans! :)

Answer 4

At 5-5 and 125-130, you are in the normal range. No need to make a big deal about losing weight.

Answer 5

you are definitely far from being fat. i'm 5'6, 140 lbs and wear about a 9 or 11 in juniors. i think that looks just right for my height. i think women that have some meat on them are far more attractive then skin hanging on a skeleton. if you would ask, most men prefer a woman with curves and a little bit of fat on them. and i think you could still handle gaining a few pounds judging by the info you gave. if you'd start to lose weight, you might begin to look like an old work horse. you're skin will start to hang, you'll def lose weight in your face (and i dont think you'd want that), and you'll look like you have had too many days in the sun (skin damage) or just plain worn and tired. trust me, everyone looks better with a little more pounds on them than a little less. i'm sure you look just wonderful now.

Answer 6

You are just paranoid. at 5'5" you can weigh up to 155 lbs according to many sources I have....If you wear between a size 3 & 6 you are thin. You need to really look into the mirror and figure out why you think/feel you are fat! Maybe you need to tone some section of your body....or maybe you don't want to admit to yourself that your body is fine!!

Answer 7

I'm a male on my wife's sn. My honest opinion is you are 5 lbs from perfection. I say just paranoid. Do not attempt fast weight loss, fast weight loss results in more weight gained than originally when you falter and gain it back. If you have a gym membership and you're exercising just leave it be you probably look great, if not, then join one and erase all doubt, but i don't see a need to panic about dieting.

Answer 8

If you have a computer then see the site below. You are normal weight but you are not thin. Princess Diana was 5'11" and 125 pounds. Below has lots of weight loss tips like getting enough sleep and sunlight.

Answer 9

paranoid. Don't fall for the skin and bones look. It is worse for your health then a couple of extra pounds. Just stay active and have a great life.

Answer 10
