sizzlinmandolin answered Thursday November 10 2005, 12:53 pm: A lot of people have distorted views about their own bodies. Weighing 107 and having size 5 pants is very thin. When we see actresses and people on TV they usually seem to have the "perfect" body shape and size. This throws off the way society views women and how women view themselves. There's a line in the song "What A Scene" by the Goo Goo Dolls that says "when you're looking for truth on the cover of a magazine how does it feel?" The answer is most definitely "not so good". Look at yourself through your own eyes instead of through what you believe you have to look like to be put on a magazine because, truthfully, being that "perfect" isn't really all that attractive. Being so thin isn't healthy. As much as people like seeing pictures of and watching crazy thin women on TV, when you actually see them in person it's pretty sickening. Every person has their own beauty and are perfect in a different way. Having a little meat on your body, having a shape, is part of being a person. Don't try to be what nature doesn't want you to be. People think you're very attractive and I'm not just saying that. It's really sad that our society puts up such ridiculous standards for women as if we can really change the way we are. You're not fat by any standards. Take a look at the people around you, Your classmates, not what you see in the media. You're probably thinner than 95% of them. If you are considered fat than pretty much everyone would be considered fat. I'd probably be considered obese. I weigh 135 and I'm pretty darn skinny. If you won't take my word for it, ask your doctor. Using your height and weight you can determine where you stand on average with people your height.

Think about this: 107 pounds, at 16!! You're perfectly fine! If anything, you could stand to gain a few more pounds.
Another thing, are you physically active much? If you weren't already aware, muscle weighs more than fat, so that's something you need to take into consideration.
I know my telling you this might not alter how you feel about yourself when you look into the mirror. I just ask that you FAIRLY evaluate yourself before freaking out over the numbers on some scale...

xOchErrytWistOx answered Wednesday November 9 2005, 10:37 pm: Personally, I think you are at a pretty healthy weight. If you feel like you are unhealthy, changing your habits can solve the problem and maybe knock off a few pounds to increase your confidence. Try eating more fruits and vegtables. Try to walk a little every day. With a little healthy eating and exercise, pounds will slowly drop, in the right way. I dont think you need to lose any weight. It doesnt matter if you are a size 00 or a size 20 its how you carry yourself. If you carry yourself with self confidence it will be portrayed to others. Self confidence makes you sexy. Be happy with yourself and things can only improve.
If you need anything ever, just let me know.
xoxo

BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Wednesday November 9 2005, 9:14 pm: Hey sweetie.
Nope, thats average for a girl. Every girl has a different body type, if this makes you feel better, Tyra Banks who is a super model is like a size 5 or something!! A lot of people wear size 5, when they look like a size 0. It just depends on your hips, curves, and your butt!! lol. But, nope, thats average and you're skinny!! ♥
xXxpinky615xXx answered Wednesday November 9 2005, 9:03 pm: Well, it would help if you gave us your height. But a size 5 in pants is NOT bad at all. That's actually a really good size. And weighing 107 is really, not alot at all. That sounds skinny to me. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]

silversky89 answered Wednesday November 9 2005, 8:08 pm: Hun, you're not fat. I'm 15 and I weigh 107. I'm not fat, so you can't be fat. How in the world could you be in size 5 pants? You sound like you should be in 3s or smaller. [ silversky89's advice column | Ask silversky89 A Question ]
