A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hey guys, i feel so fat right now, im 9 stone 6 and 5"5, but it doesnt help, im curvy i know that and ive been through hell with my body as one year i just didnt eat much and ended up going down to 7 stone and being very ill, and then went up to my current weight.

The thing is i carry most my weight on my arms and my thighs its really embarrassing. I have such a lovely boyfriend who loves me and my body and great friends and family but i was walking home today when i heard some kid snicker to his mates hey look at the fat girl. It's really upset me, i was the only girl on the street, walking and its made me paranoid. I've just started college and i do figure skating which is added pressure because skaters i know are very really skinny because of society and im an outsider. I used to do karate but gave it up because of problems, i run but im always hungry.

I cant curb my hunger and ive tried everything to slim my arms down, weights galore but nothing seems to work. Do you think im fat or am i just paranoid? Any help on gettin rid of my lovely wings would be fantastic. please help x

hey, you're deffinetely not fat, im 16, and 5'5 too but i weigh just over 10 stone...im happy with my weight, not so much with my body, i started college last week and do performing arts so i'll be getting a lot of exerice, i also do cheerleading which helps me keep fit, just doing regular exerciese or going swimming once or twice a week will help you tone up, keep you fit and make you feel so much better about yourself!

hope this helps

good luck x

Ok first of all your not fat anyone under 10 stone is nowhere near fat!!!!! I am 12 stone and don't believe myslef to be fat at all as I know my weight is due to muscle. You have a boyfriend and great friends so why care what stupid idiots say!? Im sure your such a gorgeous girl!! But I suffer the same from you even though deep down I know Im not fat just have a bit of extra to carry round. This could easily be toned up through simple exercises at the gym. Swimming is great to tone your body up! Please don't listen to what idiots say who seem to want their girls to be anorexic. Believe me when your older you will realise that guys don't want you to be stick thin, they want you to have the curves and have the full body that women should have!! Just remember that being skinny isnt the best thing in the world. Also with your eating habits if it helpsm just eat small snacks when your hungry such as an apple or some grapes once you get sue to it they really do fill you up. Also make sure you eat breakfast, lunch and tea!! You dont want to go back to your old habits!! Good luck hun xxxxxxx

no!!! you're not fat! :)

I know its difficult but you just need to learn to love yourself, the way your boyf does

And the way i always think about people making fun of you is that they're just projecting their own insecurities onto you!

Just forget about them, because they are losers and you're not! x
