Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness? cecaaa answered Friday July 28 2006, 12:17 am: I am 5'3" and exactly 115 pounds too, so I'm sure I can help you!
I wear a size 0 in jeans, and I'm guessing since you are about the same body type as me that that's about what you wear.
Trust me.... THIS ISNT FAT!! and EVERYONE has a little bit of lower tummy fat, we are born with it it's completely normal.
Don't miss out on any of the fun all because of being self conscious. In my experience, other people are only gonna make fun of you if you arent confident in the first place. If you are confident about yourself then everyoen else is gonna look at you in a different light, trust me!
I mean, obviously these people liek you if you keep getting invited to parties with them!
And if any of those guys say anything to you about your weight like they said to your friend, just fire one right back at them.
Maybe try repyling with a "Hey how old are you? 12??" or a "Hey how many girls could you get? 0??" [ cecaaa's advice column | Ask cecaaa A Question ]
CLutzyQtEE3293 answered Thursday July 27 2006, 9:09 pm: Well, I think you should go to the party and not care what anybody thinks. Or, work out! The way to lose the fat that you dont want, is to work it off. Or wear a bathing suit that covers you more. Forget about those mean guys and have fun! Dont let your little insecurities stop you from having a good time.
duudee_advicer answered Thursday July 27 2006, 8:27 pm: Hey there (= Don't worry, I'm same height/weight as you and I have my days when I feel huge. I'm still a size one in jeans, So I know I'm not fat at all, so that means you aren't either.
To make yourself look skinnier, don't eat before the party. Drink some water earlier in the morning, but be sure to pee it out, or you might look bloated. And do about 100-200 crunches right before you go, trust me, it`ll make you look skinner. Or try a more covering bathing suit like a one peice or tankini if you're too concious. Have fun!

ohxbaby answered Thursday July 27 2006, 7:38 pm: Well If you really want to go, this is what I did.
I wore a one peice, with a cute pair of shorts.
If you can get swimming shorts, that'd be better.
But just do that.
I did it all the time when my friend invited me over to swim.
Everyone is self consious.
And if you really don't want to go, get one of your close friends to go to the movies.
Or just rent movies get a ton of blankets and just spend the night watching movies.
I really hope it works out for you.
These things are tough. [ ohxbaby's advice column | Ask ohxbaby A Question ]
Helpful answered Thursday July 27 2006, 7:18 pm: Everyone is different. You dodn't even need to worry about it, because no one probably notices as much as you. Plus, most women think that they are 30 percent fatter than they really are. So if it will make you feel better, do some crunches and have fun at the party!

shannonbond answered Thursday July 27 2006, 7:01 pm: Aw, hey girl. If you're going to swim, try a tankini, which is a long top, and bikini bottoms, but it covers all your stomach, so its great. And you're not fat at all, I typed you into am-i-fat.com and it said you were a Perfect Score, Stay as you are! Don't worry if other people are thinner than you, that's just how some people are. If you're not going to swim, it's fine too. You want to go to say goodbye to your friend, anyway, & that's really the purpose of the party! Have funnn. :] [ shannonbond's advice column | Ask shannonbond A Question ]
