Ht. 5'8.5", Today: 131 lb (BMI %tile: 50) - Hi everyone,
my name is Chelsea and I am neither under weight nor am I over weight, for now. Currently i weight 131 lbs. and i'm 5ft n 8 1/2 in. All that I would like to say is this, *please don't compare yourselves to media icons like models, or actors/actresses etc. It only makes things worse for yourselves.* I know believe me! Once i became so stressed out about something like that and i actually gained weight. Finally I accepted that it didn't matter that I didn't look the same. Now I am at a steady weight and theres no stress. So, basically just try not to feel embarassed, and DON'T ever think that you can't be at a healthy weight!

Good advice Chelsie. People actually use computers to make models in magazines look perfect, changing every little detail in them. Models are fakes. Don't try to copy them.
