about

I'm an 29 year old guy.
I'll always do my best to give well considered and sincere advice - give me your best shot. P.S. Don't be afraid to ask me private questions, I rarely spend a lot of time answering non-private questions.

o.o There is apparently a FORUM for me if you would like to talk about random non-advice stuff. Take off your shoes!

advice

im 16/f, im 5'1 and i weigh a little more than 120 lbs.
The thing is that since i was 12 I've taught myself how to suck in my stomach and now i do it naturally.
Anyways, because my tummy fat doesn't show, people tell me im skinny but i know i have belly fat and im gaining weight
Its because people are always saying im skinny and some even said that i could be annorexic(im not, i eat normal and don't think im that fat) that i have trouble loosing weight.
so what can i do to make myself not be innfluenced by those people and how can i make myself remmeber that i am gaining weight and im not that skinny.

Hi,
In my -very limited- knowledge of age, height, and weight ratios, you're probably about normal weight.
If you don't think you're fat, and you know you're not anorexic, then you shouldn't have any trouble not being influenced by people saying you're skinny. Models are horridly skinny most of the time, and I can't imagine you manage that look by sucking your stomach in. Second of all, why do/did you need to suck your stomach in in the first place?
Habits are difficult to break, but perhaps if it makes you look too skinny, you should try to let your stomach out whenever you remember it.
If somebody says you're too skinny, it will remind you, and you can relax your stomach, and they will probably take it back.
