Current mood: confused

according to weightwatchers.com, the goal weight for my age and height should be between 109 and 125.

is it just me, or does that seem waaaaay to low? as much as it would be wonderful to say "i weigh 125 pounds", i think i would probably look like i was starving myself. even in high school, when i thought i was pretty skinny, i never weighed less than 135.

i guess i can talk to my leader next week and ask her what she thinks.

i stumbled upon you and i had to comment on this.

see, the thing with the whole normal weight thing is that it doesn't take into account the shape of a person's body, like their bones and sutff. cuz for example me, when i weighed 125, my face was enormous and so was my stomach. they fail to account for people who have large shoulders and stuff, so it's completely distorted for everything. like, for me the 125 is enormous, but that's cuz i can't grow an ass to save my life, but other people can, and that adds a good chunk of weight, which is really healthy, so.. i don't know. i struggle with the same thing, but the inverse, but i understand completely your frustration.

in essence, for someone to objectively tell you what you should ideally look like without knowing what you look like is stupid. if you're healthy and feel good about yourself, it's all that matters.

that's exaclty how i feel, i mean, even if i were to weigh that little, i'd have to go through hell to maintain it. my body seemed really happy around 135, so that's what i'm going to aim for.

i want to look healthy, not anorexic.
