I know I'm not fat, I'm just not comfortable

Wow okay where to start? I'm glad I came across this thread...
I used to be very tiny, 103 for most my life and people always told me I was too thin... I wasn't happy with I looked then either. I listened to my peers after repeatedly hearing form everyone that I should gain.. Well I started gaining and I let myself get out of control and now Im constantly faced with a body I dislike. I'm not blaming others but when people put pressure on you, it really take a toll on you, especially when your still young. Now I'm up about 2 sizes from then which is a lot of extra weight on someone who's 5'2. But honestly i don't tell anyone I'm trying to lose weight because for one I don't want people knowing I have a problem with my weight/body. I don't want to hear about what others think about it. I just am doing it for me. It doesn't matter how "healthy" you already are it's about wanting to feel comfortable in your own skin. Someone said something like.. Being at a weight/size that you like is important to your quality of life. That is definitely true, my weight is always holding me back!

I'm considered at a healthy weight, but for someone who is small framed it really just doesn't look right. I struggle with my appearance everyday & with that being said, it's perfectly normal for you to want to lose a little more.

At almost 5'10 and 142Ibs last summer, I was not technically overweight, but I was unhappy in my skin, was not exercising, was eating a lot of microwave meals(although I always got in plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables), and was not a size I was used to being, but then I was anorexic so I suppose for me, I am always going to want to be a lower weight. I aimed originally for 133 Ibs, but ended up at between 123 and 126Ibs, and I am comfortable at this size, for the time being, or as comfortable as someone can be who has body image issues anyway.

I think it is a personal choice, just because someone falls into the healthy range somewhere, doesn't mean they are going to feel comfortable at that weight/size. Exercise, of course, can help immensely to get the shape you want, and people tend to look smaller when they strength train as opposed to simply losing weight.

Completely agree. No one really understands me either. They just chalk it up to an insecure, thin girl complaining about her body when she doesn't need to.

Not the case. I'm far from insecure. I just feel uncomfortable with having to deal with the muscle weight I once had turning into flab.

I'm 5'1" and currently 117 lbs. Everyone I know tells me I'm thin and don't need to lose any weight or even be concerned with working out. But what the don't understand is that I am NOT as fit as I once was. Sure, I may LOOK thin, but I have flab and rolls where I used to have abs from about a year or two of neglecting exercise. I feel awkward, uncomfortable, and honestly, I can't stand it. I don't like having rolls, no matter how big, get in the way of me bending over or interfering with my yoga practice.

It's awful! I don't want to be STICK THIN. I want to be FIT, FIRM, AND TONED again. That's all.
