Super insecure about my weight??

Question

When I was younger, I was always told how skinny I was. Now that I'm getting older and gaining some weight, the comments have completely stopped. I'm 5'5 and weigh about 98 lbs and even though I classify as underweight, I still feel fat. I work out a lot and eat very little but I'm not losing any weight. I know that realistically I am skinny, but I'm absolutely horrified to go over 100 lbs. I think this mainly stems from the fact that when my mom was younger (from highschool to about age 28) she was always 100 lbs and 5'4. I know I'm taller and probably have more muscle, but I hate that I'm going to weigh more than she did. Any tips?

Answer

You are skinny. If you want to get healthier work on that but you look perfectly fine. Maybe you don't get comments on it anymore because they've already said it and nothing has changed.

Answer

So, when my mom was in high school, she was 5'8 and weighed 98 lbs. I was 5'4 and weighed 130. I used to feel terrible that I was shorter and still weighed more than she did, until one day she looked at me and said "you look so much better than I did at your age. I was so unhealthy, I never understood why all my friends tried to make me eat. I'm so glad you're healthy."

Think of it this way; be healthy. If you're taller than your mom, it's only natural that you'll weigh more. Taller people have a larger frame, and can weigh more without being unhealthy. Aim to be the best version of yourself, don't compare yourself to others. Ask your doctor what an ideal weight for someone your height is, that really helped me when I was told that I was in a perfect range for a good weight for me height.
