Been on both sides of that fence! When I was young I was 5 feet and weighed 175 pounds, but I was active and limber. Wouldn't take me on the dance team or cheerleading team even though I could do everything the thin girls could do. I was told I just wouldn't look good in the outfits they wore!
I lost the weight, re-tried out for both and then when I made the teams- I QUIT!
Now though, I am too skinny! At 5' 1 I only weight about 90 pounds or so!
Same thing though! All I hear is 'you're too thin', ' do you have an eating disorder', 'you need to put some weight on those bones, you'd look better and feel better' (remember I live in the south, they like meaty women!)
Now, I just tell people that I love them even though they aren't perfect either! And I don't spend my precious time worrying about what weight I should be, I find better things to worry about than my appearance - because guess what? In the end we ALL end up looking exactly the same!
My prayers go out to all of you.
