Well, in asian society, thin is healthy and apparently, they get it into thier heads that thinner is healthier and I guess with most asians, weight is usually put on places that aren’t considered healthy places to put on weight, usually on the waist or hips (apparently hips are not in style. I’ve been called hippo hips because I didn’t have lower than 33″-34″ hips). It’s worse in asian countries now but I think it’s kind of always been around so even older asian parents have the fat-phobia. I think it also has to do with the fear that their children will not marry and become successful.
I know in japan now, if someone finds out you’re over 105 lbs, you’re a fatty fat fat fat!!! My grandma on the other hand, was comfortable with the idea of weighing 115-120 lbs. She flipped out and told me to lose weight though when I told her I actually weigh 140. I have good measurements though. My waist is only 27″ but my grandma thought my waist was 22-23″ because I have a rather large bust and large hips. Like if you got the top of a busty swimsuit model from japan and stuck a J-lo booty on her. (In japan, if you’re above or look like you’re above 24-25″, you could be considered fat) I basically look like a curvy 50′s actress, lots of curves but no flab. I also have quite a bit of muscle on my frame too. If I didn’t open my big mouth, my relatives would have believed that I was still only 115 lbs with a 22-23″ waist and I wouldn’t have had to deal with thier nagging.
So, if you can get away with it, just don’t tell anyone your weight and just dress to appear slimmer. They’ll think you lost weight and you can keep your weight in your head.

your perfectly fine.
curves are nice, but you have to relize that old “asians” aren’t use to having curves and most were kinda bony you are a new generation where you have curves(could’ve been a trait) so doesn’t mean its you or that your fat. just be yourself, you know your healthy and you shouldn’t worry about it

Dont let it get ya down. As long as you know your not fat thats all that matters. Someone should take your mom along with the owner of Victoria Secret and tell size 1 is not attractive and curves are attractive. I wear a size 5 sometimes a 7 in jeans. My boyfriend went to Victoria secret to buy me something for xmas and he told the women my jean size and she said “oh, she wears large!” Cmon ppl! Since when did a size 5 or 7 become large. Its these ppl making all these young girls think they have to be a size 1 to be beautiful to the point ppl are killing themselves tryin to be skinny
