Why don't I look as thin as the scale says I should?

basically..everyone tells me when I tell them my weight that its really low but then I see girls who weigh like 110lbs and look much much thinner and bony than me. Why is my weight on the scales low but I dont look this weight? If people guessed my weight I bet they would think its like 10lbs more than it actually is. Argh…do you have this problem? :(

Answer #1

People seem to view themselves differently than others view them. A lot of people see someone bigger in the mirror than is actually true. And on the flip side, some people view themselves smaller in the mirror than they actually are. It’s all in your perception, and what you actually want to see.

Answer #2

10 lbs really isn’t substantial at all.

Thats why I don’t go by scales - I go by how I look. I really don’t care how much I weigh, as long as I look good - alright.

I was 110 in high school … my how I wish I weighed that now (then again… I probably wouldn’t have boobs if I weighed that )

Answer #3

just different body builds and bone structures that people have im a guy and im not fat but I have the f*cking widest hips known to man series they like stick out my body its weird. you just have to accept your build and get on with it though.

Answer #4

People usually say I weigh less than I really do. You might actually want to consider putting on weight if people think you look too thin. Don’t be unhealthy. That’s the key. Find the weight that is comfortable for you and is healthy in relation to your heigth.

Answer #5

I have that same problem. I hate it so much! Everyone looks so much better than me. uhh its annoying.

Answer #6

you might need a different scale, yours might be broken.

Answer #7

Answer #8
