Someday your metabolism may change & you'll look back to this post & think, god I was lucky back then! Appreciate that you don't have to watch what you eat. As for the people who it's truly none of their business, simply say, "I'm healthy, so no worries."

I would kill to have that problem again. I used to could eat and eat and eat and never have to worry about gaining an ounce. Since I hit 35 ( and had 4 kids) I can look at food and gain a pound. My husband eats a sandwhich and it goes to my hips, LOL. Don't let people get to you!!! You are the way you are and it is none of their concern!!!!!

I love'm big, I love'm small, I like geckos and my name is Paul:main_laugh:

I can honestly say that it's perfectly fine to be "over wieght" or "under wieght" as long as you LOVE yourself and are healthy. As Marcia stated, people come in all shapes and sizes :main_thumbsup:

I'm actually fairly skinny. People think I weight about 175, then I tell them 220


But I am 6' 4".



As for being too skinny, there is a limit IMO. I should not be able to see bone and the like. It doesn't appear healthy. There's a certain BMI that's desired for a persons height.

I never could understand why people just can't seem to get it through their heads that human beings come in all shapes and sizes... tall, short, large, small, thin, and chubby. Why can't we all accept ourselves just the way we are?

Amen, Marcia, if we were all tall & skinny the world would be rather boring I think.

I get the opposite I have learned to deal with it. Although I have alot of muscle mass, I also have too much.....fat. I will share some with you if you want it! Just pay shipping! Haha. I would love to loose 20 pounds! But I would also love to replace that with muscle. Let me know if you want some! Hah (sorry, I couldn't resist)

Whitney- Don't worry about what people say, as long as you are healty and happy, why does it matter what they think?

Matt- You don't need to be worried about losing weight, your still a youngin'. Just give it time, you are still growing.

When I was 14 all the way to around 16ish, I was under 5'8", and I was closing in on 200 lbs. I was a BIG boy! After a few years of playing paintball and soccer in high school (and still playing paintball) I am down to about 170, and I'm 6'2". So there is hope lol!
