Is it normal that i'm a 5'7 female and weigh about 145 pounds?

I want to feel comfortable with my weight, but am reminded constantly everyday by others, especially my family, that I should lose about 20 pounds to be considered "good looking". Plus, my friends are around my height (5'5-5'7) and weigh 120 lbs and it just bugs me and makes me feel insecure. Is it normal????

    Women are some of the stupidest people on earth. You sound beautiful. You are not even overweight wtf. You aren't going to be dating your family so it shouldn't matter what they say. I don't think you have any grasp of what men are actually attracted to, and read beauty magazines written by chicks and gay men that just want to sell weight loss. If you think we all want barbie doll shaped girls you'd be correct so long as you are referring to 8 year olds who don't know what sex is

    It depends on how muscular you are. A physically strong woman would be fine at that weight, but I think maybe 10 pounds less for a non-athletic woman might be better.

    You say that you're comfortable with your weight and yet you are also insecure because of (other people). That's illogical and very normal for women.

    The sooner you realize that you're responsible for your own feelings and insecurities, the better.

    Tell them to bite your ass, you should feel comfortable just as you are. 1 question tho - what size are your breasts? I am just curious. Tell your "friends and family" to go out and lose 10 pounds the self. Society puts so much pressure on teens and young adults with the magazine cover photos in the checkout line. Just tell them to stop hounding you, it makes you feel insecure.

    You're fat as fuck. People will try to make you feel better by saying it's normal, but you should lose some weight fast.
