in Introduce Yourself
I’m a high school student who plays softball and does competitive cheer, so pretty rigorous sports, but I feel uncomfortable in my body. I’m 5’1 and 113lbs, but I want to be 90lbs. I have a very small frame and that was my mom’s weight at my age, and i just want to be as skinny as she was. I’m constantly weighing myself, and i just downloaded this app to help me track my calories. My friend and s/o say that im a healthy weight, but is it unhealthy to strive for lower?

    No..but yes, you sound healthy. I wouldn't worry about how much my mom weighed as she is a completely different person than you are. I weighed 105-110 lbs in high school and had guys following me around everywhere, haha..I'd tell my daughter to stop worrying about that shallow *&@! and work on self acceptance and more important things. What kind of person would you like to be?
