no way! you will look healthier and will also feel better.
Im 13 almost 14 and the average weight is around 100 im 92 pounds but for my height its normal.. and people call me skinny..
since your 16 you should have your period and if you have stopped its because of your weight.. i would reach for 90 pounds and see what happens then.. my sister is 5'10 and 100 pounds people tell her shes too skinny!
No. your pretty tall so you will not notice. and if you gain a coupal pounds don't worry it might be a number but the point is that you dont LOOK like your big. =]
Not at all, by the sounds of things you are already really tiny. You might notice a small difference, but you most definately not become overweight.
chill out. girls with some curves are HOT!!! gain weight gradually, you'll probably see it coming before u get overweight lol. EXCERCISE!!! that's a big word. keep working out and play sports, u cant be overweight nor underweight.
peace
An extra 5-7lbs wont change you dramatically to make you feel overweight, it would be different if she said 1stone. if you feel comfortable the way you are then stick with it, as long as you don't look anorexic any more then I don't see a problem with you staying the weight you are.
no, cause your like super tall so you should be fine,
but i'm glad you recovered thats great put a couple more pounds on and you'll be healthy
I hate skinny girls anyways. Gain some weight. I would say you should at least weight 95 pounds.
5-7 pounds wont make a difference in most people 's eyes. It all depends if you are getting the weight from gainning muscle tones, water weight , or fat. Gainning weight isn't always a bad thing. It also depends on how long are you planning to gain that 5-7 pounds. If you start to jog or run and eat accordingly and drink water, you will gain 5-7 pounds and look better than before.
If your body image is all based on the number on the scale then you need to talk to a medical professional. For someone like yourself recovering from anorexia probably has to do more with body image in your own mind rather than being healthy. My suggestion to you is see a medical professional and determine what is a healthy weight for you.
