Am I too fat, please help me?

Question

I'm 14(almost 15), 5"4, and 114 pounds. To tell you the truth, I didn't think I was fat, just average, because most of my friends weigh around 120-128 and they are not fat at all what so ever. But ever since I got back from my trip, (i went to florida for 2 months) My dad is like "You gained weight while you were in florida" and my step mom is like "That's okay, you were too skinny before."Also, my aunt came over today and she kept on nagging on me because I don't eat breakfast(typical), then my dad said "She's trying to watch her weight"? I was so sad/mad because now I do really think that i'm fat and i never said i was trying to watch my weight. How much weight do you think I should lose? Be honest.

Please and thank you?

Answer 7

I don't think you need to lose any.  your weight is at the lower end of  the normal or average range.  I think your dad needs to be slapped for saying such mean hurtful things.... ok not slapped, but at least given a talking to.  People like him make me sick :(  You are fine sweetie I say keep active and maintain where you are and ignore the comments of ignoramuses like your dad telling you that your fat when you are at the very lowest recommended for your hight.    

Answer 8

I'm thirteen and the same height and way around 100-102lbs and i usually don't eat breakfast either an also i have a very fast metabolism but I'm 20lbs underweight so really your perfect and you should talk to your family and tell them you don't appreciate their rude comments and again you are totally fine and you have nothing to worry about

Answer 9

**** no, don't play into that media ****, 114 is skinny believe me, don't lose anything!  

Answer 10

Your doctor will probably tell you to stop focusing on your body weight and START focusing on your BODY FAT PERCENTAGE. Your weight will actually fluctuante during the course of the day or the course of the week according to how much you have recently eaten or drank during the day.

The Center for Disease Control is training doctors and Americans to think this way as a better and more accurate way to determine if dieting or eating habits are in order.

According to the CDC charts a 15 year of girl who is 5'4" in height and weighs 114 lbs. is classified as HEALTHY. Your total body Fat percentage is 19.6 %. You don't get to the next category until you hit 23% body fat. For your age and height you would have to weigh 135 lbs to be at that level. You can find this automatic calculator at www.cdc.gov.

Please ignore the idiots who are teasing you.

Good Luck

Answer 11

No your fine, just do what I do. If they bother tell them to shut the **** up.

Answer 12

well I just had a baby and I weigh 224...  so am I fat?  

let me guess you wear a size 0 or 1 or maybe a 2 or 3 but that's pushing it..

I wear a size 20/22 ....  I have never been a size 1... maybe when I was 3 years old...  

Answer 13

Tell your father that you don't appreciate it. He's probably just joking around but if it's upsetting you this much then he needs to stop. You are normal. The epitome of normal. In fact, I would've thought you were actually skinny instead of average. Even if you did gain weight while in Florida, I'm pretty sure you would have to gain a lot before it would be a problem.

Answer 14

You are not fat!!! I'm your height and I wish I was 114 lbs! I am 130, but I don't look fat...so I can't imagine how you could think you are. But, I can understand, my dad does the same thing. Men are just clueless. Don't feel bad, just stay healthy, because you are not fat and no one should make you feel otherwise.  

Answer 15

You shouldn't be losing any weight at all.  You are at a healthy weight now.  Your Dad sounds like he is being an idiot.

Answer 16
