I feel so sad right now. I'm 13 and i'm about 5 foot 5. I've always thought that the scale at our house is a little messed up, so i'd always figure i was always 5 pounds heavier. Well last week i stepped on our scale and the little needle stopped on 150, so i was like, ok i weigh 155 pounds. Not bad. But today, oh my god. We were at my brother's house for a bbq. I went to the bathroom before we ate and there was a scale, so i was like, ok let's see what my true weight is. So i stepped on it. The little needle stopped on top of 175. I weigh 20 pounds more than i thought i did. Is that overweight? I'm not sure. I'm like sad. I'll get over it but 20 pounds. I was happy at 155, but now i know that i REALLY weigh 175 pounds. Geeze. Am i too heavy though? PLEASE HELP!!!

So i now i can manage my weight, acually know what it is! But guess what, i've put on 5 pounds in 2 days! Oh my god. I just went in my mom's room and took the scale in the kitchen and stepped on it and it went all the way up to 180! I'm getting fatter
Reply from good advice, Age 16 - 10/05/02 - IP#: 66.41.99.xxx If you were happy when you thought you were 155 and you didn't change at all it just turns out you weigh more then you though you did, why does it matter? I mean you don't look any different, and if you felt fine the second before you got on the scale, you should feel fine after to, because your looks didn't change just your state of mind. Also, remember, muscle weighs more then fat, so if you felt confident before you knew the meaningless number, please stay confident!
