fat?
I'm 16, female, weigh 150 lbs., and am 5'7 (67 in.). I am an all year round athlete in lacrosse and swimming. I eat fairly healthy, I run a 7:40 minute mile. I just got my physical to play lacrosse yesterday and my weight and height were 150 and 5'7. I was totally fine with this because I have a lot of muscle and saw it as being normal for an athlete. That night when my dad saw the form, and my weight, he freaked and told me I was really over weight and needed to get down to 130. My dad has been on me about my weight since I was 10, but I felt like at least this was unnecessary. I have a lot of insecurities about my weight and continue to struggle with a little bit of a bulimia problem.
just tell me if you think I'm wrong and need to lose weight or my dad is wrong.
thanks.

Girl you are fine
You are athletic, You eat healthy you are not doing anything wrong. Your father is wrong, You need to tell him to stop. I agree with the last person below me continue to kick butt in what you do! Your father probably isn't happy with himself. So what? Let him deal with his own issues. That is so wrong of your father to tell you too loose weight. I'm sure you are beautiful the way you are. Have a sit down with your father and explain to him that it makes you feel bad when he insults you about your weight and how it doesn't have a positive effect on what you do. Your father should love you no matter what, Not hound you to loose weight when you are healthy!

That is so completely wrong of your dad. Tell him he needs to figure out what sort of issues he has because he is being ridiculous. Your weight is just fine, you're healthy, you eat fine. Especially for an athlete, 150 lbs is just fine. Don't worry about it, kick some butt doing what you do, and tell your dad to start worrying about his own weight.

WHHHAATTT!?
You are fine! You are normal. Ignore your dad. THis is wrong on his part. You are an athleate. All athletes have more muscle. You're normal.
I think you need to sit your dad down and tell him this. This is rediculous. Not only should a parent never call there kid fat, they should not judge them.
You are perfectly normal, do not change!!!!

you are definitely 100% the right one. there is nothing wrong with your weight, it's healthy. you're an athlete, you're toned, and in great shape. a toned body is more beautiful than a skinny one anyday. guys find muscle attractive, you do not need to lose weight. your dad is being ridiculous. you have no need to feel insecure, and you should only ever worry about losing weight if your doctor tells you to. if your doctor sees that you're healthy and beautiful the way you are, don't ever resort to things like dieting or binging. if you want to be healthy for swimming and lacrosse, you need a balanced diet, not starvation or deprivation. please don't listen to your dad, your body is YOURS, and if you're happy with it, then what he says should not matter at all. please remember that you're beautiful, and don't give in to the pressure around us to be thin as a rail. i'm a 15yr old girl athlete, i understand what you're going through. but muscle is beautiful, and your weight is NORMAL.
