Fat

[linkinpark-1]

Today at school my friend Josh, who is as skinny as a pole, called me overweight. I'm 5'8" and I'm 129 pounds, and I was just starting to feel good about myself after I lost 30 pounds since last christmas. I was starting to get off of my extreme diet of just yogurt for breakfast, plaine white bread sticks, and a small portion of food for supper. I was burning at least 250 calories in phy ed. I lost 6 pounds between thanksgiving and Christmas. I was finally starting to feel more confident...Then he called me overweight...my confidence is at -6 right now. I am just tired of never being good enough. My parents and my stepaunts say I'm getting "too skinny". I don't have a flat stomach, but it's not THAT big. I just come off bigger because I'm tall. I weigh only a little more then a girl in my grade that is 4 inches shorter then me, and people think she's so skinny! I feel like shit now, I'm going to have to go back on my extreme diet, and loose at least 10 more pounds. Don't worry, I'm not anorexic! At all! Supper I let myself eat whatever my parents are having, I just constric myself with breakfast and lunch. Just being called overweight after all my work...It hurts so bad. He thinks anyone bigger then him is overweight. He is just SO small, and that's what he considers thin or average. I want to be in that catagorie, what's 10 more pounds after losing more then 30. I wont be happy untill I do...I will think that everyone considers me overweight if he does...

 

What's your guy's opinions on the "Perfect Body"?

[Sygy]

most guys think that EVERYONE is overweight. one of my ex-bf use to call me fat when i weight only 120lbs at 5"9. i find that most teenage guys are really self-consious about themselves so it makes them feel better about themselves when they berate others. thats my ramble over

[azemkamikaze03]

Well. im fat. But dont feel bad or anything from what ive seen of u ur fine....from ur weight and everything ur just fine.

[keza]

aww dont starve urself!!! or constrict, if he's that skinny then his word really isnt worth it, skinny people always see others as bigger

ive given up on my body being smaller...after three yrs of being amlost anorexic( cuz of bad food at school) i kinda got hungry and meh...if people dont like that im not a size six then thats their worry really...>.<

[misery]

Well, after seeing your pics in the member pics thread, I can safely say that you are not overweight. Don't listen to your friend, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

 

As for your question about the 'perfect body', well, there is no such thing. Everyone's body has flaws, it's unavoidable.

[Hahninator]

im fat as fuck lol I weigh 160 and im 14. thats like OMFG WOW. I dunno, I grow a lot though. I wear shoe size 13 and am 6 feet already

[keza]

13 in shoes omfg!! 0_o thats huge lol!

[Friðbjörn]

I'm with Matt on this one, you're definately NOT overweight. Besides, if you were, what would it matter?

 

Don't let an opinion of one person drag you down.

That person only said that, because either they feel very bad, or they don't have enough self control not to say stupid things to random people, or both.

 

You however, seem to be doing just fine.

[allieking]

OMG!!! your not fat, i weigh 185lb and i'm 5ft 6 and you do not need to diet!!!!

[Stenners]

138pounds on 5'8 dont sound overweight to me, remember muscle weighs more then fat and so on.

 

Your not even 10 stone (UK units) and I dont consider any one under 12 stone over weight.

[ForgottenKid]

Pftt im 5ft 3 and 125...trust me you arnt fat. With your hight and that weight, your not fat but your not skinny- your just healthy.

[Stenners]

Yea you sound like healthy weight to me, rather u then a bean pole thas for sure.

I'm NOT starving myself, trust me I am very careful with the way I diet, I cut calories and get all the servings of every food group, it's just that I don't like having to worry about it...when I'm on a diet I constantly have to watch it. So don't worry I'm fine. I just want to feel good about myself and I know what I need to do to fix it. If I'm hungary I'll eat. I just want to make myself happy...

 

Thanks guys for responding fast. I'm starting to feel better, I wrote that when I was in a bad mood, now after listening to some music, I realize I'm not doing it for anyone else but myself. So don't think I'm anorexic or that I have a problem! I know what I'm doing and my parents are fully aware of everything.

[Stllmn8j]

GL w/ it. Im on a varsity wrestling team,so i know how hard it is to llose weight

[ForgottenKid]

Its good your feeling better....one person shouldnt have the right to hurt you like that.

[Stenners]

Its very good to see someone who dont think starving urself or trying tricks will make u loose weight, the key is eat less sugar and fats and eat carbs instead, maintain an active lifestyle and eat plenty of fruit and vegtables. Dont care what anyone says its the way to do it and its nice to see some people still see that.

[Hahninator]

what the fuck is 10 stone? lol

[LPGirl]

haha haninator its just another way of measuring weight in australia we have kg and im 65kg and 170cm =\ FAT!!!!!

[donbyers]

Dont lisen to that twat, a girls gotta have some curves dam it!!! jeeeshhh i never fancy skinny girls!!!!!!!!!!

 

i gotta have some cushion for the pushing

[Ravynlee]

1.0 kilo =

0.158 stone =

2.2046 pounds

 

So at my current weight as an example;

 

69 kilos =

152.1 pounds =

10.9 stone

 

I used to be 110 kilos 2 years ago.

242.5 pounds

17.3 stones

 

The key is as Stenners said - it's not what you eat so much as what you do it burn it off. But you sound to have your head screwed on right in knowing that all the fad diets in the world etc is just a temporary fix. Just know that at the end of the day you're doing it for yourself. It's hard being fat (I have been all my life) and you're constantly judged, teased, labelled for it. People will label you regardless, even when you're no longer fat. The insecurities of human nature mean we pick out any 'weak' point of a person's character and use it to cause harm to another - that's how bullies make themselves feel bigger theoretically. But as for being perfect?

If there was any such thing as the perfect body we would have a lot of people out of work (think of those that airbrush the imperfections from models pictures and computer enhancements and so forth). It's not going to happen, period... unless you go under the knife, which will only leave scars anyway, and what's perfect about scars???

[Stenners]

Very well said

[_deemy_]

well im in aus so i dont really know how much punds are etc,

but according to ravyns conversion thing this is my weight

65kg

=143.299 Pounds

=10.235642857142858 Stone

and from another conversion thing my height is almost 6'1"

so from my extensive *cough* research, no you are not fat.

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

skinny people always see others as bigger

Umm...escuse me. I'm quite thin, but I don't give a shit on how much people weigh. To me if you have breathing problems and get tired after a small amount of walking...then it is time for you to loose weight. Otherwise you are perfectly fine. Infact...I'm trying to put on weight...because I think I should weigh around average. And it's really annoying when fuckers come up to you and go "OMG your so thin, omg omg omg" it's fucking annoying. Okay, I'm done...

I agree. I feel bad whenever anything negative about people slips out of my mouth. Yeah, it makes me feel higher, but I decided it's not worth it, even if I'm seen with the ugliest (me be part of it) people and most hated and gossiped about, they're actually pretty great people. Now, I'm one of the biggest nerds ever, not what I was at the beginning of school, but w/e...

im fat as fuck lol I weigh 160 and im 14. thats like OMFG WOW. I dunno' date=' I grow a lot though. I wear shoe size 13 and am 6 feet already [/quote']And just a note on that: I'm 8 in womans shoes (6 1/2 in boys) and 16 in girls pants (5 in juniors) I have a big ass and thighs, I know.... I know I'm fat, always will think that as long as I weigh 120, and I'm not muschle either, I'm really weak now, I wasn't always so fat and ugly, I was about 95 and 12pants, 7shoes only about 5 months ago. *cry* the perfect body, would not be mine, maybe some other girls in my classes, but not me. lol.
