I'm 5'9 and 114 pounds...?!


Question: Is that normal? I lost a lot of weight this year (I used to be like 130), and everyone says I must have an eating disorder. I don't feel like I'm too skinny at all, though. Even my doctor and parents think I'm bulimic or anorexic or something. I don't eat as much as I used to, but I DO eat! Is 5'9 and 114 pounds really that bad??

your fine
you can gain 5 more pounds and it wont hurt
but you dont desperatley need to
i think your healthy

that is REALLY skinny for your height,
I think that 130 is a good weight to be at,
but what ever makes you happy. :D

Ya thats really skinny even 130 is probably underweight. so EAT! anything you want whenever you want! ;)

no its not bad, your just skinny!

100 lbs for the first 5 feet and 5 lbs for each additional inch. you should weigh about 145.

your a little skinny but thats fine. but DONT loose any more weight and your perfect!

I imagine you as someone showing a lot of your bones. Ugh, how disgusting!!! Put some meat on your bones; you'll look more attractive!!!

i have a sister whos about 6' tall and close to 120lbs. some ppl are just skinny, n it has nothing to do with eating disorders. it wouldnt hurt for u to try to gain a little weight, but if ur one of those ppl who just cant theres nothing wrong with staying where ur at. unless ur doctor thinks there is something wrong... he/ she does this for a living.. soooo i would take their advice.. if u calculate ur bmi itll tell u if ur "healthy" or not. i bet it says ur not... sooo i would say start eating like u used to.
