I think I'm fat. My boyfriend person tells me I'm not. But my mom actually like encouraged me to lose weight. And she looks so like happy and proud like when she says I look skinnier. The thing is I weigh like 95lbs. (5'2") I know I'm not technically fat, but when I look in the mirror I dont like what I see. My face is round. My stomach is jiggly, and my thighs are ewh. I know I have issues....

Replies newmie66 Posted at 7:53 am on July 5, 2008 I think it's important that you distinguish between actually being fat and maybe not being toned in areas that you'd like to be toned in. Being 5'2" and 95 pounds is NOT fat. If you think your stomach and legs are more soft than you'd like them to be, try some simple exercises like crunches and weights to help you tone them. For your legs, you DON'T have to do anything strenuous. Try walking! Best of luck! Lizzie2007 Posted at 3:53 pm on July 4, 2008 I know this won't make you feel skinny but being 5'2 95 pounds is really skinny.  Underweight even.  All those negative things you said about yourself are probably nonexistent, but you have a warped view of how you look.  Just try to remember that and to stop obsessing over the scale. scott sm Posted at 2:16 am on July 4, 2008 u just need to try build up self confidence. i use to think like that now i just ignore it and move on Poker Shark Posted at 2:13 am on July 4, 2008 You probably just need to do more exercise and stuff to tone up, rather than actually losing weight, you just need to firm it all up.
