im 5'2 and 115 lbs. everyone tells me im not fat or chubby. they say that my stoamch is flat but its not. no matter what i think that im heavy and that its noticable. are there any ways to make my stomach flat? and situps never worked for me. i want to lose it because im always afraid that im going to lose my boyfriend to someone whos skiny and pretty. any ideas? please and thank you.

You really are not fat. Yes, I know...I can't see you. But I can prove it.

It is called your "Ideal Body Weight." To calculate your ideal body weight you multiply 2.3 times the amount of inches you are over five feet. (This is for women only.) For example: if you are five feet and two inches tall, it would look like this: 2.3 x 2. Then you add 45.5 kg. You now have your ideal weight. To convert kilograms to pounds simply multiply your kilograms by 2.2.

I did the calculations myself and I got 110 lbs. In case you are gasping because you are five pounds over your ideal body weight, you are still not fat (your actually quite slim). Overweight, or obese is defined as 20% over ideal body weight. Which means that you would have to be over 132 lbs. to be considered overweight.

You shouldn't be concerned about being overweight. If you want to be concerned about being healthy...Fine. Drink lots of water, eat three healthy meals a day, and exercise for at least twenty minutes every day.

BTW, if you're thinking that your boyfriend is going to leave you for one of those girls that look like stick figures, forget it. It probably doesn't bother him, just you. I've actually had several members of the opposite sex tell me that they don't like stick-girls. They like women with curves, because it looks more feminine and sexually appealing. Think of it this way, if a guy wanted to date someone effeminite looking, he could just date another guy.

You need to look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful, and BELIEVE it. Otherwise you are not going to believe him when he tells you that you are beautiful. And if you don't believe him, you'll end up pushing him away. Push him away long enough, and your worse fear just might come true. Only he won't be leaving you for someone skinnier, he'll be leaving you for someone with more confidence.

To keep him you don't need to loose weight, you need to gain confidence.
