Having tummy fat isn't okay when you're short, but in your case it's okay, cause your tall :]

Good luck in loosing your tummy fat ;]

Answer 3

i have some tummy fat, and im fine.

Having tummy fat is NO big deal.

So what if your friends are skinny?

Just love your body, love yourself and you will be fine.

Just STAY AWAY from eating disorders and those stupid diets, they do nothing but hurt you! You are suppose to gain weight as you mature, you are fine!

hoep I helped :)

EDIT: and yes, as you get older and gain weight, your weight evens out and your stomach gets some what flatter as you get older. You are fine now!

Answer 4

No way! Like, it's like, totally wrong! You're a burden to society!

Answer 7

Yes, it is OK...don't worry about how you look now (I know it is hard), when you get older everything will start to balance out.

The amount of time you spend working out is commendable, and you should probably keep it up as the habit will stay with you as you get older.  The only thing I will say is to not lift weights at the gym...too young for this, your skeleton, muscles, tendons, etc are not ready for that kind of stress (1 hour of weight training).
