    Wow our stats are pretty much identical! But yes I've had comments like this. The odd one off my friends like "you don't need to loose weight" but it's my mum that annoys me with "don't loose any more" etc etc. Even though a few years ago she was always hinting that I should loose weight! It does get frustrating!
  • Love all this.
    I'm 5'4 and I'm 132! My heaviest weight!
    I have always been 117-120 so I feel like I have an added layer and all in my mid section!
    My friends think I have an actual problem because I want to eat better and have abs. I always think that there's room to improve your health.
    There is no such thing as not "needing" to eat better because your body looks good. It's about health and living longer as well!

    I'm 5'6 and I'm at about 146. It's not terrible because I know some of it is muscle but I hate that I have built up this strength and it's surrounded by fat. I want to be able to see my hard work. So my goal is 130. I know if I told anyone that I'm trying to lose it they would probably look at me funny. But I know it's there and I have to live with whether I'm going to be my best self or not. At the end of the day that is what counts.

    I think what annoys me the most is people who assume that people with slimmer figures are just that way "naturally." . . . . . .

    So yeah, when people are like "Why do you care about this stuff, you're already fit?" I just don't know what they're on about. I am fit because I care about this stuff. . . . .

    This is my new favorite quote!!!

    Exactly how I feel.
