People are very frustrating (rant)

I'm finding that people in my everyday life don't seem to understand why my goal weight is so low. Every time I'm asked how much more I want to lose or what I want to be at I get the same response " OMG that's too small" or " you shouldn't loose that much, you'll look sick". It really makes it so that I don't even want to answer these questions anymore because I feel like I have to lie to everyone so they don't make me feel like I have unrealistic or unhealthy goals. My goal weight is around 105 lbs. The reason it is so low is because I am only 5 feet tall. When I try to tell people that this is a healthy weight for my height they just don't believe me. It's just very frustrating and I had to rant a bit
Just ignore them, they don't know anything. It varies depending on height and also body build. I can see you are a petite and have a small frame so 105 lbs is OK. My mother stand around 5'1, has small body frame and only has 100lbs. or sometimes even lesser but she's so healthy for her age at 63 and doesn't look like anorexic. I'm even more sickly than her because me only at 32, I'm already taking 2 maintenance medications whereas she doesn't.0
