    I'm the same size as you, only an inch taller and I have the same problem! It drives me nuts! I get so paranoid that people with think it's like a roll or something, but I'm not even fat either! I FEEL FOR YOU!!! It's GOTTA be genetics because my mom and sister both have it too! If your mom or dad has it too, like me, then it's defiantly just a trait.

    you are probably big boned , wrap you hand around your wrist

    if you can wrap your thumb and finger around your wrist, you are small boned.

    if you almost can, you are middle.

    if you can't nearly, you are big boned.
