People have always told me my whole life I was thin/ skinny/ had a great body.. etc. I was dating this guy and he was a real jerk and made me really insecure about my weight. He told me I wasnt as skinny as most girls he goes for and when I lost 10 lbs from the mono he gave me, he told me how much better I looked and how I shouldnt gain my weight back. That was summer, I've gained my weight back now. I don't know if it's because of him or what but I'm really insecure about my weight now. Is 113, c cup, and 5'5 normal? I swear I have a little fat on my stomach. It's sick. Do you know of any exercises I can do that target the lower stomach?(Crunches don't help!)

Yes, your size is definitely normal. I would agree with the people who told you that you're thin. Don't listen to your boyfriend. (Why are you still dating a guy whom you consider a "real jerk" anyway?)

Some people naturally have some fat on the stomach even if they aren't overweight. When you exercise, you strengthen the muscles that you exercise, but when you lose body fat, you can't control where it comes off.

That said, speaking from personal experience, not sitting down right after meals does seem to help so maybe you can try that.
