Is it normal i feel fat?

My friend is a plus sized model and has been for about 6 months now. I just read an article of another plus sized model and when I look up their weights/heights, I get sick to my stomach and feel obese.

My friend isn't a runway model because she didn't want to go that route and she's not tall enough anyway but she does magazine spreads and catalogs. She's considered a plus size at 5'9 and 115 pounds. I've seen her in a bikini and she has no stomach, I can see visible ribs, I see her spine without her even moving and her body is just very skinny. She says her BMI is 17 so she never understands why she's plus sized as she's considered underweight but she goes with it. I know she's a size x-small in all clothes because we sometimes go shopping together and she gets a size 0 in jeans.

When I hear she's a plus size at 115 pounds size small and a BMI of 17, I assume I'm fat.

Plus sized means big to me so I know I don't want to be the fat friend. I am 5'4 and 128 which means I am a lot fatter than her because my bmi is 22 so it means I should lose about 35-40 pounds to be her size. This means I should weigh no more than 99 pounds but I feel it'll take a lot to lose so much weight. I want to get to 99 pounds or 90 pounds so I can be thinner than her because I really don't want to be next to someone who is plus sized and actually have a bmi MUCH larger than her. I must be morbidly obese or something if she's a plus size model at that size already. I want to see her work someday but no way would I go there if I'm a whale.

is it normal I feel so fat? I'm a freaking size 6 in pants.

    Stop right the fuck there.

    I am 5'5 and 135. I am also a size 6. I am healthy and athletic. A few months ago, I became ill and lost 10 lbs. I admired my thinness in the mirror but felt fucking awful. At my lowest weight, 112, I felt awful. I have a medium set frame and likely you do too, so weighing 90 to 100 lbs. is no where near a healthy option for us.

    It sucks that skinny is in but it's not worth your health. The modeling industry is all different kinds of fucked up and we are fucked up for thinking that somehow, the "right" body type is the kind of frame that a great deal of us don't have.

    You're at a healthy weight. People at my army unit frequently poke fun at me for being the smallest there in good nature so trust me, you're not obese if your build is anything like mine.

    A BMI of 30+ is considered as the 'unhealthy' zone, so your BMI is pretty healthy. Also, BMI charts don't consider age, gender, and other stuff.

  • 115 pounds at 5 foot 9 is considered plus sized now? That is just plain dangerous.

    No, your fat makes you look fat."

    Its normal to feel that way due to the way society views things these days. You just need to remember that you are not fat at all. 5'4" at 90-99 lbs is way too skinny, unhealthy in fact.
