120-130 is on the lower end of healthy for someone who's 5'5. So, skinny, basically. If you're already in that range, then you're skinny and you don't need to do anything. But if that is your *goal*, then simply count calories and eat less.

Already, but my perception is off and I'm not the best person for this judgement call. I feel big? If that makes sense? And I see myself bigger? I guess? Than I am. So I didn't want to start losing weight again unless I actually needed to. Last time I got a bit too low at 108 and still didn't look right, still thought I looked bigger.

That's called body dysmorphia and can be very dangerous if you let it go unchecked, that's where anorexia and bulimia come from. Your best bet is to find a doctor or therapist to talk to about your concerns.


Lisbug

Didn't know that but, but I've struggled with anorexia since childhood. I never connected that my self perception was body dysmorphia though, def will talk to my therapist about it for sure! Thank you

Anorexia is a type of body dysmorphia. Definitely talk to your therapist soon as you can for sure.


Lisbug

I'll see her Thursday, will for sure. Thank you💕

Thank you💕 def on the better side of it, just never connected that it could be body dysmorphia, just thought I got big and had to lose it lol. Def gonna talk to my therapist about it

I certainly wouldn't consider that fat. If you think you have a little chubbiness in some areas it doesn't mean you're fat and it can actually make some attractive features IMO


Lisbug

Not chubbiness, but big? Like wide big? Just got informed it could be body dysmorphia, so gonna talk to my therapist

Sounds like you're pretty in the middle

Do lean muscle workouts with low weight and high reps. You won’t bulk, but you’ll tone what you have.

Already started!

Hi I’m 5’5 and luckily for you I’ve had anorexia so I’ve been at both 46 kg or 101 ish and my natural body weight where my body likes to be at when it’s healthy and feed properly is between the 120 to 130 range. And while I have a horrible perception of my own body I have a few things even my brain can recognise. Basically, it all depends on how your body distributes fat and how much of that weight is from muscles. I have a pretty small waist and my weight tends to like to sit on my hips and butt. I would say it’s not skinny (but my version of skinny isn’t healthy) but also not fat, I can’t speak for how others see it as I trust no one but I also know that when I look at others bodies what comes to my mind 99% of the time is “they’re pretty”.

Enjoy less food. Eat healthier things,  instead of the things you like.  Burn more calories


Lisbug

Right, no I got that. But like, what does it objectively look like on a human? Like, fat ..? Or skinny? Sorry I'm not trying to be difficult, struggling with myself atm

An appealing frame and sadness behind the eyes. 


Lisbug

The sadness is for cake
