According to a standard body mass index chart, your BMI is 20 when you compare your weight to height. The ideal range is 20 to 25. Since about half of Americans are overweight, it may be that you are comparing yourself to people who are heavy. I am 5 foot 5 and weigh 118 lbs.(also body mass index 20). I like my weight, but when I am skinnier than this I don’t have any stamina. I used to feel more self-conscious, and I still wear long skirts because I feel my legs are too skinny. But I took ballet classes, and they make you feel good about being thin because that is the ideal. When I have tried to gain weight I did it by eating ice cream and cheesecake, but now I have borderline cholesterol and I should stay away from that stuff. I realized that sometimes I am not aware of being hungry. I start to feel tired or depressed, but really my blood sugar is dropping. I need more snacks. I was actually depressed for a while, and I wonder if that might be part of what you’re feeling. If so, seek professional help because you can feel better. I say eat healthy, keep yourself strong and praise God for making you perfect just the way you are. He has called you to do some special work for the world and given you the right body to do it. Bless you.
