Am I fat (pic included)? Would my weight turn guys off?!
Question: I'm 17 years old, 140.6 lbs pounds (63.9kg) and 5'5...
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=11771x4&...
I've lost 30 pounds over the last year, but at school I still feel like the 'fat girl' and I get really uncomfortable around guys, like they think im disgusting...
I don't think people really understand how bad I am... I've never had a boyfriend, never been kissed, can barely speak to a guy without blushing and my self-confidence is so bad I can't speak up and ask questions in class in fear of drawing attention to myself. I hate myself, I really do! Please help me! Am I fat? Should I stop stressing? Would guys feel revolted? Any self-confidence tips???

Sophie -
The photo is kind of blurry, but you look like a beautiful young lady. I was expecting you to not be nearly as attractive. You should be very proud of the weight you've lost - that's not easy, especially for a teenager, and you should be very proud of that. You don't look overweight at all to me, you look perfect, not too skinny or too big. I can understand the self esteem issues - I was very overweight in high school, but that's something you'll just need to work on, and it can be tough, especially for girls your age. Just find someone who you trust to talk to, and they can help you deal with it. Some of the shyness and confidence issues you have, a lot of other kids do too whether you see it or not. Just remember, most people aren't sitting around thinking about what their peers look like, and the ones who do are the ones who end up depressed and alone later in life. Just hang out with good people, be willing to put yourself on the line, and things will improve for you. Don't hate yourself - do the opposite and love yourself - a lot of people aren't even capable of losing 30 lbs or making an honest effort to improve themselves, so you should be very proud, not mad at yourself. And no, guys would not be revolted. In fact, be careful, because most 17 year old guys would probably find you very attractive. As for the confidence issues, just be yourself. If you hear people talking about something you're interested in, add a remark and join the conversation. Participate in class, make eye contact, and SMILE. You seem like a sweet girl who just needs to stop worrying so much, relax, and have some fun. So stop over analyzing everything, you're making it way worse for yourself than it really is, so just take a deep breath, be yourself, and be outgoing and willing to try new things, and good things will come. Good luck Sophie! :)
no, you look fine dear. i'm 63kg and your height.
i had very low self confidence at school too.
p.s love the dress.
Not fat.
F*CK NO! Sweet heart, you look damn right sexy and fine. email me, see whats up.
I think you look great & well done with loosing the 30pounds. Stick thin is not a gooood look. But if you are still self conscious & not happy, just go on a healthy diet & do some walking. But personly i think you look good :) Curves are iiiin.
Don't worry about it, you look fine. I certainly don't think that guys are going to feel revolted or disgusted by looking at you...
You look great!
You should be happy with your progress. Just be yourself and do your own thing and you will find that guys will be fighting over you soon.
My recommendation for you is to goto the gym and start working out. I remember when I first started I was worried about people staring at me. This is not the case and I loved it and graduated college with a exercise science degree.
If you don't want to goto your school gym, maybe goto the YMCA or find a curves. Remember weight training will NOT bulk you up, if you eat a normal diet, it will make your body tone and give you self confidence.
You're young, too young to be stressing about that stuff. Get good grades, be physically active and persue your dreams.
one word SEXY!!!!! anybody say otherwise is CRAZY
You don't look fat at all. You need to build up your self esteem there girl. Your problem isn't your looks because you are a beautiful girl. Your problem is psychological. What you need to do is stop looking for reasons to not like your looks. Everyday when you look in the mirror tell yourself you are beautiful and NEVER say anything negative about yourself. It will take some time, but if you compliment yourself and never put yourself down you will soon see the truth in it.
you are a little fat :) your legs are thin but when i check your arms they look bigger .. so try to lose some weight there... but i think you are not that bad. so you don^t have to feel stressed about the guys around.
hunny you look great. if you have trouble with guys it may be a good thing at your age hehe, but id say if anything its only because of your self confidence. just relax be yourself and it will happen when the time is right.
you are a perfectly normal (average weight) for your age and height too. so forget about this nonsense and relax. you have nothing to worry about. :-).
if you still dont beleive me look at the other guys responses hehe.
OMG YOUR THIN. YOUR TOO SKINNY TO THINK YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT. HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YASELF CHICK. YOU LOOK GOOD!
ahhh!!! everything you said is exactily how i feel. I just lost 20 and i feel like a blimp!!! ahhh...but you look gorgeous!! your body is exactily what i want!! If i lose 10 more pounds, hopefully ill have that body, cuz you are very pretty!
To be honest with you, for a 17-year-old, you are good looking. If I saw you, I would be the one to barely speak at first sight. I'm 24 and single. If you were 18, I would be happy to meet you and get to know you. I don't think you should be stressing. May I have your Myspace URL, if you got one, so i may look at more pictures.
OMG seriously u r so hott in that pic you r so skinny compared to so many people you r just perfect anorexic girls dont look pretty! and you r pretty! feel more confidant in yourself because if i was u i would be coz u look like a million bucks! take care.
