He Jesokah, My name is Nicole and I am a Nutritionist and work for the WIC Program. I was looking through this website for children that I work with and was touched by your message. Being 5'5 and 140 pounds is not considered overweight, but I understand the media pressure to be thin is very overwhelming. I struggled with my weight for most of my high school years, believe me when I say I feel your pain. The best thing you can do is tune out all the negativity coming from those family members who are not being supportive and focus on the wonderful person you are on the inside. This website has great tips for being healthy and that is what matters, not the numbers on the scale. So be healthy, exercise and eat well, and I assure you you will fell better for doing so. Good Luck and happy holidays!
