I am so hurt and upset by this

[CountryChick5]

I was told by my pop (mums dad) today that I was getting a bit of a pot belly and I should start walking more even though I walk a lot already, I get nasty and hurtful comments from my own dad all the time and this upsets me because I am already not happy with my weight and have only just started to like wearing tight tops so now I'm not wearing them until I lose weight, I weigh roughly 47 kgs and now want to weigh 40 kgs by the end of the year, I am roughly 145 cms tall, I am really stressed out by this and don't know what to do.

I agree 103 does not sound very overweight to me at all. In high school my mom would always make comments about me getting fat etc, etc and i look back at my pics from then and i was soooo skinny, i mean i was 110 pounds and size 3 all through high school. and it led to me to eat more and now i really am overweight and i can't believe i ever believed here and thought that i was fat too. My mom doesn't even say stuff like that to me now though. But please dont believe everything you hear, even if it is from your mom. I wish I didn't

I'm not real good with converting kg to pounds or cm to inches, but I come up with 103.4 lbs and 57.1".  You are not over weight at all, so I wouldn't be too concerned.  Sounds like you might just need to tone up the tummy a bit.  Maybe add some weight training or yoga, a few crunches, etc.

Hey take it easy,

What is your BMI?

Don't get stressed out by this.  Keep on walking and taking exercise as much as you can, and try and keep to a low carb diet.

I went through a stage of being 51kg, but my height is 180.  It really 'got' to me to be skinny, I have gained weight now - but you have to be careful about your mind-set, and PLEASE don't let it get to you.

Let me know if I can be of further help,
