Is that fat? and do men like curvey?

Question

Im 16 and Im constantly obsessing over my weight. About a year ago i was getting bigger than i wanted to be so went on a drastic calorie diet, within a month or so id lost enough weight and was a size 8-10. But with my confidence of losing weight i figured eating normally again would be ok. I got a new 19 year old bf (who iv been with for a year now) but had a few relationship problems at the begginging, so i started to comfort eat again. A year has passed and im back to square one. I see all these slim people and want to be one of them. It doesnt help that my boyfriend is very obviously into skinny women judging by his ex's, where his eyes wonder and his celebratie likes. He always makes jokes about my weight, i know hes joking but i cant help but think he means it. I really hate my body at the moment but everyone around me keeps saying its just in my head. Im 5ft7 and a size 10-12. Is that fat? and do men like curvey figures?

Thanks.

Please do something with your avatar, it is male!!

OK Tragic..  You are 16, stop worrying about your boyfriend - it sounds to me that you are too good for him...  

The UK size 10-12 is equivalent to the US 6-8 - no, this is not fat. You are a nice height - not too short and not too tall, just do something about that comfort eating and get a nice new man.  

Your boyfriend is not much of a boyfriend if he doesn't tell you that you are beautiful on a regular basis..  Men roam, that is their nature - few believe in or practise Fidelity.  One day you will meet a man who appreciates you for what you are and will not stress you out and cause you to comfort eat.  I was in a similar situation a year ago - my weight increase was the result of a health problem rather than comfort eating but my then-bf kept nagging me to go for walks but would only on very rare occasions accompany me.  One of the interesting side effects of my weight increase were G cups and my then-bf was always on about large-breasted women.  Strangely enough he is now with a tall, thin and very plain, flat chested woman who is taller than him (causes hilarity around his office where his neighbours tell me she looks like a man and keep asking "Why is she so ugly?")

There will be many fish to throw back in the sea before you find your life partner sweetheart - do not put up with these nasty "jokes", go fishing and have fun..  Don't worry - Be Happy!!  

Answer 3

loose him

If he doesn't love everything about you, he doesn't deserve you.

If you are that size and that height, you seem like you are within a healthy weight.

Skinny girls are not pretty to me. I would much rather have muscle and a little bit of fat than be stick skinny.

NEVER drastically cut calories! It is so bad for you.

Just start eating healthy, it's hard at first, but you will learn to enjoy it.

And it really isn't hard, Just cut things like mayo and cheese, large amounts of pasta, definately cut all sugar drinks

eat tasty vegys and fruits... Turkey, chicken, and fish... and pork is good too, and lean.

and get in about 20 min of cardio a day, and muscle toning type things (sit ups, push ups, lunges.)

i bet you'll be a lot happier with you body than with straight calorie cuting.

Real guys like curves, not little stick women ;)

be happy with your body, just think, "I have a rockin' body! and boys should be begging to be with me!"

haha i'm not really like that, but just thinking it makes me feel beautiful XD

You can check to see what you are classified as (normal, overweight, etc) here http://www.weight-loss-surgery-or-weight...

You will need to know your weight.  But if your boyfriend is always joking about your weight and you find it uncomfortable, talk to him about it.  If he is unwilling to be considerate to your feelings, or really has a problem with your weight, maybe you should choose a dfferent boyfriend.

Don't let anyone make you feel bad about yourself.  I'm sure you're a beautiful girl.  And yes, there are plenty of men out there that love curvy women!
