Ht. 5'4", Today: 120 lb (BMI %tile: 62) - Hey everyone. ok well let me say that I am not the skinniest girl around. I am 5'4 (about) and weigh somewhere between 115 and 125. I am a soccer player and have been playing since I was 8. I know you all probly think i'm soo thin but thats what i'm saying. you can be thin and not be happy. happiness shouldn't come from your looks. i have a horrible life, and thats why i play soccer. it keeps me from getting depressed and from being to hard on myself. so what i'm trying to say is never give up. find something you love and do it. don't just do it because, do it because you love it and it makes you happy. good luck everyone. i am here if ANYONE wants to talk. love you all.....

of course there's no life that's all joy but you didn't address the problem that weight is a big deal in happiness- if you're overweight(depending on how much) you won't even be comfortable in your own body by yourself let alone around others...
