So I see it was brought up in the thread recently.
Here's my belief.
I believe there is no reason to be unhealthy.
I have always been interested in eating healthy. My parents raised me on never eatig boxed foods and cooking homemade. I also never really liked fast food.
I have always ate healthy and I have always been fit.
Currently, at my age of 14 and in 9th grade, I weigh 104 punds. I work out by runnig asthe captain of thecross country team 5-7 miles a day.
I also just got a physical and since I come from diabetics, I had to be tesed for cholestorol and blood sugar.
I had a cholestorl of 110 and excellent blood sugar.
I have always been afraid of being overweight I must admit. I do admit there have been times when I haven't ate, and bordered on an eating disorder. I also have a medical condition where I can barely gain weight . And only gain anything when igrow physically.
So basically, I like to be fit, I am severly underweight, I can't gain weight, and am physically healthy. Sums it up ithink.
so tell me where you stand on this issue. If you don't feel comfortable sharing everything, don't. :3

Underweight.
Remain somewhat healthy, I have other health issues but that's a matter of genetics.
Don't give a ******** about anyone's weight.
People eat what they want, be happy with yourself, I find people who hate themselves or others based on appearance to be weak in mind and not worth my time.
I eat whatever I want. Junk food, health food, foreign crap that if prep'd wrong can kill. I enjoy life and do what makes me happy. If it makes me a tad bit unhealthier so be it. What's the point of living long if all ya do is worry, but hey to each their own.
I'm sixteen, going by average school standards 11th grade (Though if for some reason grade actually matters? College Sophomore equivalent in class standards and credits), 95lbs, 5'11"
I generally don't bother working out though I can bench press sets of 12 with 200lbs weights for half an hour and continue with ten minutes rest. I also go to the skatepark at times with either my board, a scooter, skates, and the occasional mountain bike to piss off the h@rdkor3 kids. And of course since the skatepark is by the actual park, some plain ol' running/jogging has been had in cases of boredom.
I'd enjoy gaining a bit of weight, if only to look less frail/avoid getting in fights with people wanting to pick on the skinny guy, but overall I'm pleased with how I look. I don't enjoy working out, though I'm not incapable of doing so. And as of now I'm rather healthy, though in the past I have landed in the e.r....granted most of those were triggered by physical accidents.

I have no problem with people who are over or underweight [but the fashion model people creep me out when you can see the ribs, still its there choice to be like that]
I used a conversion thing for my height and weight it says I'm about 6 foot 7 inches, and weigh about 238 pounds, I'm not sure what the average weight for my height should be so I don't know if I'm over or under or perfect weight for my height. But I've been working out allot lately and over the summer I went from 275 to that 238 in your conversion so i've lost a dramatic amount of weight
But if you want to be fat or you want to be skinny as a twig thats your thing do what you want its your life not mine I will not judge you on the way you look, eat what you want as well

I am average.
I'm a well hipped girl, meaning that waay back in the day when men and fathers would talk about who should marry who, they'd likely say about me
"She's got child bareing hips, she'll make a fine wife"
I'm not ashamed of my bottom heavyness, because studies show that women who have wider hips are actually much more healthy then women who have very narrow hips, isn't that something?!
It makes sence though, seeing how wider hips are a sign of good for breeding, and on an evolutionary standpoint, I am superior to narrow waisted girls, but on a real world veiw, and on a pants kind of veiw IT SUCKS
My sister used to tease that I have a 'black chicks a**'
*facepalm*
And my mother used to answer honestly,
"honey, don't get those jeans, they make your butt look big"
Gee, Thanks mom, I love you too.
*facepalm*
But I'm not slender, I'v got some pudge here and there, I like to call that my 'unemployed weight' because when I'm working or going to school I lose all that, so I keep two wardrobes, one in bigger clothes and one in smaller clothes.
AKA size 6 jeans and size 10 jeans, 38b and 38cs etc etc.
Also I'm covered head to toe twith stretch marks cause my puberty was sudden.
I am trying to lose weight though.
This is why! I spent my entire life severly underweight.
My mother and teachers would worry about my health, I wasn't allowed to go to recess untill I ate enough food, so I never played with the other kids, I was tiny, frail, and thin enough to see veins all over my face till I was 15 years old, Then BOOM womanhood.
Now I'm an average hourglass shaped lady, and I'm not used to it.
I've still got the tiny girl mindset, I look in the mirror and think
"Whoa!! When did that happen!?
And since I was a small child, my family kinda sees me as being big now, which doesn't help.
I cannot change my eating habits and am too lazy for exorcize, the only way I'll slim down is to become more active, but with my antisocial nature and the job market as is, I'm stuck with these thighs and an inability to wear a skirt cause it goes up a few inches in the back.
I know I shoukld be grrateful for the fact that I live in a house with healthy people, all meals are based on leafy greens and wheat breads, all home made and fresh (just put 2 more loafs of bread in the oven) But sadly I have no taste for healthy food, I am an anomoly in the fact that I don't eat any vegitables yet arnt a cow or dead.
Literally the last vegi I've eaten was a pickle, and I don't think that counts.
(potatoes and corn dont count either)
I live off of carbs and sugar, and that prolly led to the shape of my bpdy.
BUT AGAIN I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL
I hear that some guys actually like girls like me, weird.
PS I think I'm the one that led to this discusion about weight, might as well not hide it, I don't like fat people, sorry, hate me if you must, but deal with it.
XP

For me, health is not a number on the scale, It's a shape. We don't even keep a scale in the house.
I've been about 140 pounds since grade 7, and am about 5 7', But, because I work out about six days a week at karate, I'm still, and always have been, what I consider a healthy shape. I wouldn't say I have an hourglass shape, but it close-ish. Everyone else says I look good too, and when people try to guess my weight it usually comes in 20-30 pounds lighter than actually I am. Right now I've gained about 15 pounds from nine months without karate, but it hasn't made a huge difference. Just my stamina stinks at the moment...
Remember people, Muscle weighs twice as much as fat!
I feel unhealthy when I can't run for very long, but I won't feel fat until I can't see my toes.
I admit, Fat people annoy me, but not as much as really, really skinny people. When people are close to anorexic it just disgusts me to see their ribs and such sticking out. I hate people who complain about being 110 pounds and needing to go on a diet. XP
Well, to be honest, any extreme bugs me; Skinny, Fat, or Muscular. Bodybuilders are just gross, almost worse to me than anorexics. XP
Anyways, I eat just about whatever I feel like, but with two vegetarian sisters I do like some healthier things than other people. (Tofu made right can be yummy! I'm not lying!) Still, chips, icecream, etc. are quite common around my house with the occasional jar of Cheez Wiz snuck in by my dad.
In general; Balance seems to be the key in my family. Junk food paired of with variety paired off with exercise.

My mother learned a brillaint saying from her grandmother about food.
Try to eat at least 4 different colors in a meal.
Is that great or what?
I think it's amazing, a great way for people with little education to know that they are eating better.
It's hard to eat garbage if it's all different colors.
NOT counting candy and junk etc.

Kotty, I agree with that! (As I often do -idolizesomg<3-) I positively LOVE my shape, but it's most liekly my high self confidence or just plain narcissism. I mainly try and eat right to avoid becoming an American stereotype. > 3> Also, junk food makes me feel sluggish, and when I'm not in a constant state of movement, I panic.
I'm a tiny thing, just under 5', and 105, And when I watch what I eat, it's more about cholesterol and heart health than it is about weight. I wouldn't mind losing a bit of weight (Oh, to have a super cute slightly boyish figure!) but then I realize I come from a relatively hourglass shaped family, and that dropping any more weight makes me look funny. X3
LMD: BB, I enjoy a nice hippy lady from time to time. -pelvicthrust- I don't understand how men can stand with such narrow hips!
Go for big back pockets! If people compare your cheek size to a wallet, it seems smaller! -nodnod-
I feel your skirt pain. Short skirts are what you wear when you're short, but it's not too easy. X3 Then I just stop caring.
Over all, I agree about the extremes thing. Get some healthy meat, but going too far overboard with or without is... Not attractive in my viewpoint.
Thi: THERE YA GO!

I will admit a little last year and the better part of this year i was anorexic to a point, but that was because of serious family issues and how they affected me psychologically~ With my bipolar dosorder, and other things, i was the perfect cabdidate for it. I have always been concerned about my weight, but as i said, it was family issues that i don't feel comfortable discussiong at the moment -was/is seriously hurt by those circumstances-

In my mind you're overboard when you; a) Can see your ribs all the time or have other bones sticking out b) Can see your veins bulging over your muscles/have no neck or c)Have two or more chins. Anything within that I can tolerate. Still, I'm not going to shout at people to fix their lifestyles, but it does kinda creep me out by that point. They can live their life however they want, but doesn't mean I have to like it. I don't consider myself judgmental on appearances, but at a certain point you have to take a look at what you're doing to yourself.

I know I'm fat. I don't honestly care. Yes, I would like to lose weight, but if you take into account how I grow, and how I carry my weight during my growth periods I go from akwardly chubby , to heavy, but tall.
EDIT: It also doen't help that since I don't buy new shirts all that often i look like i weigh more than i actually do.
When I don't think about my weight I'm happy, but when I am forced to think about the issue it almost makes me phisically ill. I hate being forced to look at the truth of my weight, and every other aspect of myself. I enjoy fast food (to an extent- McDonalds is the only fast food that i feel bad eating-), and the reason for my weight is easy and simple: I'm not phisically active, and with my diet, It makes me fat.
I'm a junior in high-school. and last I checked I weighed 165lbs. I'm about 5' 6".
I would like to drop this subject as soon as possible, because as I've stated before, I dispize talking about this.
