Q: Alright
so......i believe i am fat
i weight 161 lbs and 5'1
i have never told any1 but my best friend how much i weight so no mean cmments please
but,alot of people have told me im not fat but, i still feel like i am
i blame this on my brother he has told me i was fat since i was 3
now though he tells everyone at school i have a beer gut
it really hurts me mostly because i have saved him from going to a boy's home mutlipal times
So, i have 2 questions do you all think i'm fat(i have some muscle too)
and what should i do about my brother

1) Yes, I think you're fat. And a side note, how can you blame that on your brother calling you fat? You can either blame your parents for giving you fat genes, or you can blame yourself for your eating/exercise habits.

BUT. Why is being fat so wrong to you? And if it is, than it is time for you to start actively trying to get in shape. You get to dictate who you are, and what being fat means. If you're happy with yourself, fat or not, it does not matter whether you are fat or not. It matters that you are happy.

About your brother, I think you need to accept yourself to deal with that. Be happy with who you are, and then it won't matter what other people think.

I am sorry if this wasn't the answer you wanted, but it's the most honest one you'll get.
