i’m 18, 5’3 and 140 lbs. am i overweight? pls be brutally honest. i’m scared for the freshman 15 when i leave in two weeks

Question

Answer

I can’t really take this poll because I don’t know your body type. If you have a muscular body than that’s different than having a lot of extra fat. Also, the distribution of fat and your body shape can change my opinion too. It just depends on what that weight is made of.

Answer

It’s all about how you feel !!!! If you’re a little thic rock it :) don’t let social media get in your head. You are perfect just the way you are 💕

Answer

Honestly, you can’t always measure if someone is healthy based on their BMI (height and weight). According to their BMI, some professional athletes are considered obese, even though it’s just muscle. You could be at a healthy body fat percentage even if your BMI is above average, so random people’s thoughts on your weight without knowing anything about you isn’t most accurate. 
Don’t stress about gaining weight (easier said than done- I know). As someone who is in recovery from an eating disorder, all I can say is if you start really struggling (or already are) with body image, yo-yo dieting, restricting food and/ or binging, or anything like that, that you find a counselor and work through some of it. If I could go back in time, I would have definitely found a therapist way before I developed a full blown eating disorder.

Answer

I didn’t gain weight my freshman year. I walked to all my classes unless it was really cold or raining. I didn’t eat healthily but I didn’t have the worse diet and eating habits.

Answer

The freshman 15 only happens if you start eating all the time and at crazy late hours! Don’t worry just be aware of what/how you’re eating
