Am i underweight?. .?
I'm 20 years old, 5ft 5in (165cm) and 7st 13/8st (111/112lbs)
Sometimes i think i look fine, but other times i get really down because none of my old clothes fit me and i get really cold and tired.
My mum has her concerns and my boyfriend especially, as he thinks i look better with more weight on me. (I used to be 8st 7lbs - 9st).
People also say i look like a little girl and don't really have curves.
I love having a flat tummy and feeling svelte in a way but other things are getting me down.,but the good feelings are making me not want to put on weight.
Please help.
Do you think i am too thin/unhealthy?

Thanks Roma that was really nice,good and helpful advice

If its of any consolation I'm almost 5ft 5 and weigh exactly 7 stones.The 'ideal weight' for your height would be between 8 1/2 stones upto 10 stones.You remind me alot of myself with the whole 'i love my flat tummy' I know the feeling when people refer to you as a little girl,but don't let it get you down honey.The important thing is you're eating healthily and comfortable with who you are. However ,you make a mention of your tiredness and how you feel cold,which can often be due to a vitamin deficiency or because we don't have enough 'skin' on us.
Your mother is understandably concerned(my mothers forever thought I have an eating disorder,but has only recently accepted that we all come in different shapes and sizes) Why not try this website which has a a calorie monitoring tool,to show how many calories you should be consuming.I never really stuck to it,however,it did help me put on a few pounds.Like i said before ,be happy with who you are and make sure you're eating healthily.Take care and all the best http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/

you dont have any eating disorders and your prob a very healthy girl!

if you think your a bit on the thin side put on a bit weight but just keep doin sit-ups to keep that flat tummy!
and whatever you do keep it safe :-D
