Am skinny fat or just fat?!


Question: Am skinny fat or just fat?
im girl, 14, 5"2, 85lbs, I know im underweight, so dont comment on it!

i have really fat/thick legs, calf is 10", thigh is 14", i am NOT muscular!

on my tummy i can 3"+ off it, i have love handles 2", and my tummy goes over my tummy by about 1/2"

also last year I was 5"0 90lbs, I though I was fat and lost weight to 72lbs, this time last year at 5"1.

Now after being forced to go to the doctor, im now 5"2, 85lbs. Would that have anything to do with me being so fat?

Answers:

If you have no muscles, then you are definitely skinny fat. And that is super unhealthy. Skinny fat means that you have a very small body, like you do, but it is made up of fat, not healthy tissue. You might look the same as a skinny person on the outside, but on the inside, you are an extremely unhealthy mess.



You said you don't want people to comment on your weight. But you're asking the question: Why am I so fat?
Sweetie, you're not fat! You're underweight, and your family thinks so too if they've taken you to see a doctor. You're ok, and should be focusing on living life to the fullest, enjoy being a teenager, eating food you enjoy without thinking how many more inches will go to your tummy or how 'thick' your legs are.
You're short, so naturally-no matter how skinny you get- will always have legs that are a little full.

I know you don't really want to hear this, especially from a stranger, but you've got an eating disorder. Because it's not healthy or normal to be measuring your tummy, thighs, and calfs!!



No, you are not fat, you are skinny. Maybe if you gained more weight it would go to other places and even it out more. Maybe you do not really look like that but you are imagining it or think you do. You probably look normal to other people. This sounds like it could turn into anorexia. You are not fat at all!



your not fat at all.......... im 15 and wish my legs were that thin
you didnt get forced to go to the doctor because your "fat" you had to go because your skinny and underweight
trust me you dont need to lose any weight, im 5'2 and weigh ALOT more than that and im at an average weight



you sound kinda husky, but, my tummy goes over my tummy? you have 2 tummies?
