JyNxiE answered Monday December 20 2004, 2:26 pm: You're perfectly fine...personally I think thats still too skinny. Since you're so tall, 120lb is NOT fat and its not too much weight.
angelbabi91 answered Wednesday December 15 2004, 10:32 pm: heck no that is like still not even a lil over what your supposed to weigh! your a tall girl and if your to skinny then your not going to look right! i mean i'm 5'6 and weigh 111 and also about to become a model. so no your perfectly fine! dont worry about it! i bet your a beautiful person, i just think that YOU need to realize it!

superGiRL21 answered Sunday November 14 2004, 4:12 pm: not at all! They say an ideal weight starts at being 100 lbs at 5 feet. For every inch you grow you gain about 5 lbs. (example: 5'1''=105lbs, 5'2''=110 lbs. ) By these standards you are in fantastic shape! But more importantly, its how you feel about yourself. It's good to hear you checked into a hospital and got help! That takes a lot of guts so congrats! [ superGiRL21's advice column | Ask superGiRL21 A Question ]
hailebop answered Sunday November 14 2004, 2:52 pm: Your doctor knows best. S/he has your best interests at heart. They aren't trying to make you gain weight for the sake of it, they're doing it because it's good for you. According to www.am-i-fat.com you are still on the thin side and could do with putting on slightly more weight, but I would stick to what your doctor has said over that - 120 is fine, but don't be tempted to loose anything below that.

Jason38X answered Sunday November 14 2004, 2:35 pm: no im like 57 and 190lb and i don't look that fat so i don't think you would don't worry about what you look like you shouldn't care what ppl think about you
gramma_kelsie answered Sunday November 14 2004, 1:27 pm: your current wieght is fantastic! its considered the perfect weight for that size, because im, 18, and that size and i weigh that. be proud of the fact that people care for you enough to make sure you get help. and if ever you feel that your too fat, just ask your mother, father, guardian what they think. don't do anything to yourself that would make you unhealthy. try finding a group in your area that supports those that have gone through the same thing you have, hopefully you will learn and grow with new pride of yourself. to get healthy from a mental disorder such as anarexia, you have to start where it first started, the mind.

loochalo answered Sunday November 14 2004, 1:03 pm: well if your doctor says its fine to weigh that much then i would not worry but there is nothing wrong with keeping healthy by exersizing and eating good foods! [ loochalo's advice column | Ask loochalo A Question ]
LiLnSbAbY123 answered Sunday November 14 2004, 12:17 pm: Absolutaly not! 120 is the weight you are supposed to be when you are 5'3 so really you are under weight. I'm the same height as you and 14 years old. i weigh 182 so I'm definatlly over weight. Don't worry so much and dont loose anymore weight you are still under weight so you still get wat you want without the consequenses!

RaineyDaze answered Sunday November 14 2004, 12:11 pm: No. 120 pounds is perfectly normal for a girl you're age and height.
Let me congratulate you for overcoming an eating disorder. You have to be a really strong person to overcome something that serious and I'm extremely happy for you.
tkd_shorty answered Sunday November 14 2004, 12:11 pm: yes its totally fine to weigh that much..your 5'8 so its all muscle..and you sholdnt be worrying about how much you weigh hun..thatll matter later on in your life..so dont go anorexic or if you did..dont do it again..because thatll just get you into the hospital more often..

S_C answered Sunday November 14 2004, 11:51 am: If it's anything, then it's too little. I mean, 130 is probably your high limit. Don't worry unless you get to like 130-135. Right now you're SKINNY!!!! [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
CheapChineseFood answered Sunday November 14 2004, 11:32 am: I hate gaining really bad ratings for these questions...but I believe it's worth it. Um. I"M 5'6 and 128 pounds, and I'm not fat. And do you realize how many "am I fat" questions we get on this site a day? They're pointless. If you feel your fat, exercise and eat healthy. Don't eat nothing. Because then you'll look disgusting and pasty, and the whole point of you doing it will become pointless, cuz you'll look uglier than before.

xxpinkeyeliner answered Sunday November 14 2004, 10:44 am: You sound perfect to me. I'm very happy you recovered. You are tall and that weight makes you perfect, I promise.
sUnsEt_rOO18 answered Sunday November 14 2004, 10:41 am: no not at all!!! your very tall, which your lucky for that, and your weight is going to be higher than it seems like it should, but really do the numbers matter? its if you feel good!

DancinChica7 answered Sunday November 14 2004, 10:41 am: no way! tall girls (and boys) tend to weigh more because of their height. trust me your not fat and you should love your body the way it is. no one has a perfect body, i know i dont! i hope i've helped you.
