Yes, this dreadful issue. It drives me up the wall. One day society is saying curves are beautiful then curves are fat and ugly and you have to look like a stick insect and be 6 feet tall and then the next its curvy in the right places only and then its tall with no boobs and no tummy...when will it end!!!!!

I've never been one to care about my weight at all until recently, I've always been very short, with BOOBS and I have always had big ribs, muscly arms and legs..At the start of last year i weighed 55 at 15 and 9 months..i then dropped to 48 when i broke up with my bf and i lost two cup sizes, basically went from squeezing in a C cup to barely reaching the cup in B but I refused to go to an A..as I had refused a D.
Mum never got off my back, your too skinny, you never used to be this skinny, eat something, do something blah blah...I dont think i was too skinny, because I was about 5ft. I was skinnier than I had been before but not like see your bones skinny. It was just from stress anyways. Then when I got with another guy about 2 months later I was up to 54 and still the same size. When my boobs came back I hit 56.
I had no problem with this. Neither did my boyfriend. Now 10 months later I am a 10B bra, or 10C with small makes, and I weigh 58 kilos at 5'2. I broke my leg late last year and I spent alot of time on crutches, I lost some weight but quickly gained it when I got my muscle back. I also gained alot of muscle in my arms using the crutches then in my calves from learning to walk again. I'm thinking this has contributed to the weight gain as well as my height increase.

Actually I have always thought that I have FAT thighs but now they seem to just be muscle, so I really don't understand why lately mum has been telling me that I've been gaining lots of weight and hinting for me to go walking with her (she's twice my size around, and DOESN'T go walking), I play basketball once a week and train once a week to aswell as working 20 hours. I don't think I am fat..but everyone keeps telling me I am. Dad told me today that I have a pot belly. I've always had a belly where it sticks out more at the bottom because of my body shape. When I suck in i only look skinnier in the middle of my stomach...My lil bro says its bullshit and that I'm not. but mum and dad say I am and my boyfriend says it looks like i have gained a bit of weight but im not fat...I'm confused. Am I supposed to look like this at 17? I used to be underweight..My BMI is 24 its between 20-25 as normal weight. so I'm confused, the scales haven't changed for a while but they say my looks have. I don't wanna be fat and not see it. HELP. i dont know how to post images in this but i have one of my belly when i got it pierced last year..its bout the same now. same as the yarrawonga one.
