Is it normal that i'm skinny but i feel fat? I eat A LOT but i don't seem to gain much weight. I'm in highschool and i'm a female. I am 5.8 and i weigh 120 lbs. I've searched it up and i am somewhat normal. But i still feel fat. And it makes me sad becasuae i'm never going to stop eating or barf up all my food. And i'm trying to get more excersie. I just don't have a flat stomache. Everyone says how tiny i am but i'm really not that small. I don't know what to think or what to do about it.

    Weird you sound just like me. I eat so much bad food, and I'm around the same weight as you. I feel like a fatty, but i'm not lol But secretly, shirt off, i'm kinda chubby lol If you want to tone it, you'll have to work out. Body build and tone :P If your really like me, that;s not happening either lol

    Your fine. It is common to feel 'fat' when you know you eat a lot. You know your skinny so keep telling yourself your skinny. Positive attitude will help you a lot. Good luck :)

    I think that's pretty normal. Don't dwell on it too much, though!

    It's normal, society is harsh and just puts everyone down if they aren't absolutely perfect. Do some sit ups and it will shape your abs and flatten your stomach if you feel you need a flat stomach. But for 5'8" that's a really good weight. I have friends that are only about 5'3" and weigh the same and they aren't fat either!

    I used to be like you - ended up with a devastating eating disorder for years. I always thought I was fat before but now looking back on pictures and stuff I think "damn I was skinny at 120"

    You're 5'8 and 120 lbs and you feet FAT? I am 5'5 and 120 lbs and regarded as thin. Fuck, what has society done to your self-esteem? Quit watching TV, cut down on your internet useage, quit reading magazines and looking at other women for a few months. That'll set you straight.

    It's normal to feel like you're fat in this society these days - but at the same time you have to know realistically that you're not, that you're fine the size you are, and as long as you're healthy you don't need to worry about your weight too much. Also, it's not really normal to have a completely flat stomach, even if you're really skinny.
