Question Posted Sunday April 8 2007, 12:18 pm

What is your definition of skinny enough and is my mom saying that I was overweight before and now I am skinny or am I reading too much into this: STORY TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY: I am thin and A FEW DAYS AGO when I came home from work I changed into a tee-shirt but wore the same pants I wore to work. She asked me as I sat down to eat if I lost weight, and I said no, but this upset me. I said to her that she always tells me I look beautiful. She said you do look beautiful but your pants look bigger. And she told me that I am skinny enough. "

"Skinny enough" all depends on your body type, there's no set definition. Also, just going by your weight as compared to your height (like BMI) isn't always a good thing because if you are more athletic you will weigh more than someone less muscular even though you might actually be healthy. Google "BMI calculator" though if you want a general definition. Don't worry about what your mom says, she's probably just being a normal mother. Just don't stress about your weight and being "too fat," I'm sure you're beautiful just the way you are.

i personly think that being skinny enough is being healthy and that all depends on your height and age. but your pants can like get bigger beucase most pants will stretch out through out the day and my mom does that too and it does annoy me alot but anyways im sure its just being concerned about you. but I think skinny enough is being healthy and haaving you feel comfortable in your own skin.

hey

well i don't have a definition. the only way to know is though your BMI.

here's a calculator: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

i know how you feel. just don't worry & you should tell her you kinda got upset about it because you don't want to be too skinny. i don't think she meant any harm by asking if you lost weight. it would have been worse if she stated, "you look skinnier." you know what i'm saying?

i'm sure you're beautiful & have a great body, so i wouldn't worry too much, hun.

i hope i helped & this has been bothering you for a while (i've read your question many times) so i would definitely tell your mom that it hurt your feelings.
