During Freshmen year, I’ve finally learned to be comfortable with my body. I’ve stopped counting calories or going days without eating. I’ve been home for two days and I’ve already had three family members call me “fat”. I’m not overweight but I’m already planning this week’s diet. FTL.

Haha, I’ll totally try. It’s just tough. Funny thing is, I’m 5′4 and 125 pounds. The people that called me fat are all shorter than me and are about 145, 190, and 200+ lbs. I don’t know why I listen.

honestly its not about what the other people weigh, its about feeling comfortable with your body and not worrying about the way it looks. but you’re right that you shouldn’t listen to them! anyone who would make you feel bad about your beautiful, wonderful body isn’t worth fretting over.

Yeah, you need to not listen to them. You’re normal weight for your height. Also, it sounds like you’re the thin one in the family. Eat right and exercise to be healthy, not to be thin. It doesn’t sound like you have to change anything.

Sometimes I think family just says stuff for the sake of saying stuff – it doesn’t make it accurate or nice.
Give being comfortable with your body another shot – you deserve it and it’s a great feeling.

Your BMI is only 21.5, which is right within range. I don’t what you have to be worried about. I’ve seen girls running on the treadmills that are just skin and bones, and it’s so unattractive. Please don’t be like that.

i know it’s tough. tell them how much it hurts. tell them the truth. otherwise they’ll never know and they’ll keep hurting you over and over again.
