Looking for an ego massage/ reality check

5’6“ 9 stone 11
168cm 62 kg

Would you be happy at this height and weight?

Skinny?
OK but a bit chunky
Fat?

I'd be ecstatic!

Im 5’2 and weigh 61kg. Previously weighed over 70. Would like to be 55kg but doesn’t seem like I can get under 60. I’m reasonably happy with my weight now, wear a size 10 and am very fit and exercise a lot. I don’t think I’m overweight so if you are same weight and taller then def not overweight.

You are my height but 20kg lighter. I know I look good when my weight is around 70 so that's what I'm aiming for. When I see photos of myself when I was 65 I look skinny.

I also calculated your BMI, which is 21.9 so very healthy.

I'd say your weight is perfectly fine.

You have an eating disorder. Nothing any of us say will change how you feel.

Please seek proper help and support. You deserve to be happy.

It’s fine - it’s going to most likely be average, or a little bit chunky if you are a light build.

You need help for your ED not with what you’re seeing in the mirror.

Please go see your doctor and contact BEAT for support.

@continentallentil That's one mighty leap. Because she feels a bit chunky doesn't mean she has eating disorder!

Stop looking at the photos.

Don't start a diet.

If you are having these thoughts obsessively, please seek help. Don't try to implicate strangers on the internet in causing a relapse of your ED.

You know all this, don't you?

Not really. The OP admitted she struggles and felt fat at 46kg.

Posters are correct. What we say won't change any ingrained thoughts you have. It's a perfect weight for your height but you need to be able to rectify what you see in the mirror with real life.

@itsgettingweird sorry I missed that part....it completely changes the post. 💐

I agree and I hope other posters will stop posting their weight / height as it isn't helping the OP.

OP - I hope you're ok - I really don't think this thread is going to help you in the way you hope it will.

I'm half an inch shorter than you.

I'm around 60kg and I'm happy with that. When I start creeping to the 9.5 mark I notice. I was just over 10 stone on steroids post chemo and I looked fucking dreadful. I also carry on the bottom half of my abdomen and face.

I felt so much better when I got it off. Didn't take long at all either.

I'm 5 foot 6 and a stone less and still not completely happy. I was quite chubby at 9 stone 11 however it completely depends on how you carry weight. I've seen people post pics at like 12 stone and look slimmer than I looked at 10.

That’s pretty much my build, although I’m
large busted so they probably add a few pounds.

I’m a very healthy size 10, with the odd size 8 item. In pictures I look reasonably slim (have been much slimmer but looked scrawny) - could do with being a bit more toned but I cba.
