In reality, there's no such thing- people all have different body types and structures. The main thing is to be happy with who you are. You sound fine! Be healthy, and confident with your body. Don't compare yourself to unrealistic standards; they can only harm you.
The main thing is to be healthy; eat well, get enough excersize and sleep. That's all you should be concerned about. There are so many girls out there who aren't completely happy with their bodies.. why? They keep comparing themselves to others, and to a completely unfair representation of the female body.
I can go on and on about this- it's something that negatively affects our society.
The best advice I can give you is to remain healthy and not worry about it. Just be confident in yourself, and the rest will follow. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]

It's perfect because you have room to lose weight and room to gain weight. You don't have to constantly battle your weight because there's some room to slip a little bit. However, if you have any big fluctuations in your weight, it could be bad, so try to stay as consistent as possible. [ curliecue's advice column | Ask curliecue A Question ]
