Ok so this is a weired one i understand with cf people cannot put weight on and keep it I understand that. I myself have been told from family i am the right weight and also doctors have said i am the right weight if not a little under BUT i am so paranoid about my weight as i eat fatty food over the years wen i look in the mirror i feel like i look fat and i want to lose weight. I cant stand being told im being stupid becuz to me i feel like im not being silly. I have stopped eating during the day apart from breakfast and then i have my tea i have cut out crisps and chocolatte. I wondered if anyone else has been thru this I know its weired posting on here this subject but i dont know who else to turn to.

If you dont mind me asking, how tall are you and how much do you weigh? Do you know your BMI?
I know this is all relative because if you feel fat then numbers dont matter, I am just curious. You are not the only cfer that feels this way. If you search for this topic you will find you are not alone.
I am 5'5" and weigh 130lbs. I am happy with my weight because I have struggled to gain it. I used to weigh 109lbs.
Having said that I find myself frusterated because my clothes are tight now and I have bought alot of new ones. But I am not rich and cant just replace my whole wardrobe. So I know what it feels like to have aweight issue on both sides, too thin, and a little plump....lol.
Have you talked to your dr about losing weight?

I am 5foot 3inches and i am now 8stone 8pond ( 14 pound to 1 stone) I just really want to lose a bit more but my family say no and have a go at me. I told my docs i want to lose weight and they dont say much apart from im the right weight for me. I think my BMI is 22 ish last time i checked wen i was 9stone so now it might be 21 ill have to have a look at that. To be fair i dont go much on what people say i ought to be its how i feel happy in myself and i want to lose about a stone and a half. Its annoying wen people have a go at me and it just feels right to me that im over weight??

thats actually 120lbs [8 stone 8 lbs. gotta add the 8lbs] and a bmi of 21.3. aiming to losing 20lbs sounds like an awful lot and unhealthy, 10lbs seems more realistic and safe. what exactly is it you dont like about yourself? are you untoned? skinny people can be untoned and 'floppy' if they dont do enough exercise, in particular weights. although they arent fat, it can make them appear fat. do you have access to a gym? its not good to cut out meals. its better to have regular meals and just cut the fat content down.

OK I apologize in advance if I come off rude, but this is a touchy subject for me. My weight has been a bitter battle the last 6 years & its so closely connected to lung function etc that its a matter of life/death at times. I do realize there are some CFers that are considered "overweight", but I personally dont think you fall into that catergory. I dont know how sick you get or how quickly the weight comes off when you are sick, but IMHO you should appreciate that you have the little extra on & that you look GOOD with it. Dont take for granted what you have!
