Oh, you're too young! Take it easy! I'm sure you're still going to put a lot of weight on... don't be so concerned!

Besides, it's always better to be thin than to be fat :wink:

My close friend is 1,55m and her weight is 50kg, she always feel she fat, and she is determined to lose weight. I think she is 1.55m and her suitable weght is 45kg. I'm afraid of fat becoz fat is so difficult to choose clothes, dresses...being fat makes me less confident Sad

Oh.....
Be confident in yourself!
My friend is lovely~~Why?
Yesterday I asked her to go swimming with me.But she told me that she was so fat that she wounldn't like to wear bathing suit!And then she told me again:"winky,if I was so thin as you,I would go with you everyday!"
Oh.......
I am really very thin?
And my clothes are always the smallest!And to be so thinis also too difficult to choose clothes!Because the toggery that are selling clothes for young people,the clothes are much larger than which I can wear!
So it is quite difficult for me to buy clothes in such a toggery!
My mother always wants me to go to the Children Toggery! Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad
However,I am not a child now!I am young people! Wink

Relax and enjoy yourself! Your body will keep changing for a few years yet, and it's better to be healthy like you are. If you exercise well then you have nothing to worry about.

It takes all shapes and sizes in this world -- and if you are thin now, as Clarissa Mach said, you will probably be heavier later without trying. Most girls want to be slender, svelte, willowy -- doesn't that sound better than "too thin" or "skinny"?

Anyway, at 155 cm and 40 kilos, or 5'1" and 88 lb., you are not too thin -- you're fine! Be happy that you don't feel too heavy to go swimming!

To answer the question about pounds: A pound is equal to 2.2 kilograms. So 80 Cattys = 40 kilos = 88 lb.

Wait ... I said that wrong. Every kilogram is 2.2 lb., so multiply kilos by 2.2 to find pounds. Then 40 kilos = 88 lb. Arithmetic!

A pound is 454 grams, just slightly less than a catty or a German Pfund.

En...
I do agree with your words!
I do exercise everyday!(In fact,my mother let me do it!)
And I didn't worry about it at all.
But most people around me were worried about it. I didn't know why?

Heh well, I bet they weren't really worried - sometimes family and friends like to say these things. My grandparents used to say 'you aren't eating enough!' because I never put on weight. I was eating well, it's just how my body is. You can explain these things to people and they'll still keep talking about it - it's annoying, but whatever.

I think your age is pretty important when it comes to being healthy, if you look after yourself now you should grow into a strong and healthy adult. And that means not trying to put on weight!

I can't buy a pair of shoes wich fit me very well,except I go to a Child Shoes!
Oh..No...
They all call me "little winky" or "small winky"! Crying or Very sad

Don't worry about it - you're just petite! And you might get taller in the next few years anyway. If people saying these things makes you sad, then you might start feeling bad about it all the time, and you don't want that to happen. You could tell people to stop calling you small.

And I bet your shoe size is still getting bigger, right? Hang in there, Winky
