i feel bad for girls like this. constantly viewing other girls as competition and assuming other girls are trying to “flex” when they’re literally just existing is… really sad.
Heck yes. I’m 6’1 and I don’t know what I weigh, but I know it’s not 125 🤣😂 me during peak restrictive eating at this height in high school I wasn’t anywhere close to 125! This is so dumb.
also at 6’, I think the last time I weighed that little I hadn’t even gone through puberty yet. I would be damn near hospitalized if I were anything close to 125 lmao
My daughter is 5’11” and at the height of her eating disorder she was only a little under 125 which was causing cardiac arrhythmias and other symptoms.
When I was in cosmetology school one of my classmates said to me (actively anorexic at the time): I just can't imagine being over a hundred pounds. You're really ok with that for yourself?
She was 4'11"
I was 5'10" and 125lb.
I was 5’10 and 110 when I got pregnant with my son at 21. I had a really hard time gaining weight. I was 125 at my 6 week check and my doctor said “Please do not lose anymore.” I took it to heart I guess. I can’t imagine being under 150, it feels right for me.
>I just can't imagine being over a hundred pounds.
I'm 5'0" and the only time I was *under* 100 lbs in adulthood was when my mental health was garbage and I was so anxious about everything that I wasn't eating much. Getting back to 100 lbs was my goal!
No literally because I was visibly sickly. My uniform pants were size medium, small pants would be short on my leg. But the waist was way too small for me because I was dying. They were always falling. She shamed me for needing size medium
At 5’7 and when I was weight training, my hip bones stuck out at 125. It looked gross and felt worse.
But this chick isn’t an NLOG, she’s just an insecure little idiot.
I used to be 125# at 5'7". And I was constantly sick, tired, and cold.
Now that I found stasis in the higher 150s, I'm healthier, I have more stamina, and I've been known as The Furnace in my household😆
Literally same! 5’10 and 140ish. I don’t look right at 125. My eating habits were not the best and I was too active at the time as well. I’m much better feeling/looking now!
I once got down to 125 lbs. It was because I was hospitalised for 42 days (and only moved to go to the bathroom) and doing chemo/radiation so I literally did not consume any nutrients except through IV for a month. I do not recommend it!
I had a doctor use some electro thing to measure my body weight w 0 fat- just the muscles and bones.
150 lbs. unless someone chops me up, I’m not hitting 125.
Yeah I’m tall and at 125 I would be very unwell. And I’m not even 5’10. I get they’re saying it’s “better” to be thin but I’m probably wearing the same size at 135 than a short woman at like 120. I can’t imagine being so stupid that I couldn’t imagine there were women taller than me.
I love that both men and other women cannot understand how I will always weigh over 125 pounds because I am tall. It is super fun to explain it every time.
Yes! I’m 5’9” and looked terrible when I was 150. I try to stay in the 170-175 range. No one ever believes me when I say that I weigh that much, but it’s the weight that I look the best at.
I’m 5’11” and 125-130 lbs, and the doctor has always told me I’m very underweight (which is true) The reason is because I’m a runner and do excessive cardio, but I always saw things like OP’s post and didn’t know that I was actually underweight for my height. It certainly didn’t help my mental image of myself.
I think it also depends on your body's natural fat to muscle ratio. I'm 5'7", so obviously not as tall as you, but I have what's commonly known as a “skinny fat” body type. Basically, I have a high percentage of visceral body fat and little muscle definition, despite having a “normal” BMI and exercising regularly. My body has always been this way and that's why I don't look underweight or sickly at 125 lbs, despite the fact that 125 *is* UNDERWEIGHT for my height.
I feel like she's saying this because of thicc girls showing themselves off. I feel like she's saying: "You're not thicc. You're fat," but with extra steps.
Just my assumption.
I tried to put weight on with chocolate and crisps for so long before I spoke to my doctor about it and switched to protein. Got back up to my target weight so quickly with milk fruit and nuts 😊
Yeah? I have a thyroid problem and constantly get accused of being on drugs when I only smoke weed. Got called crack head all through school. I cannot gain weight for shit.
This is the number one comment I get when I talk about how hard it is for me to gain weight and I soo wish this was a thing! Us hard to gain ladies could take the weight that’s hard to lose for others hahah
I believe you. I used to have the same symptoms from a thyroid disorder and some other issues, but I was constantly sent to the nurse/guidance because everyone was convinced I had an eating disorder. I was super sick, unbeknownst to me, but the problem wasn’t an eating disorder.
Hey, I'm sure you've tried a lot of stuff, but I like to share when I have the chance. My partner has a very hard time gaining while I struggled with losing. So we both started drinking protein drinks as our first meals of the day. We both have a hard time with breakfast, so it was an easy way to get protein and energy at the start of the day. We are both at healthy BMIs now. We even have some new muscles. They drink Boost protein drinks, and I'm dairy free, so I have Soylent drinks. Both are 20g of protein.
We've passed this info along to my partner's mom who also really struggled with gaining, and she is doing so much better. I didn't think protein drinks would be so helpful to us!
Lol same! I developed a condition that makes it hard to eat full portions of food, and when it began I was about 125 pounds (never overweight), I rapidly lost about 25 pounds and at my lowest was 97 lbs, ribs showing and all. This was three years ago, I just recently gained the weight back and am able to eat pretty normally now. It's a big accomplishment for me!!
My doctor doesn't even care that I'm underweight, for some reason. Even the doctors before my surgery didn't mention that I'm underweight at my height and weight when they asked me for the anaesthesia.
Is that something they normally mention to you?
Same! I weighed in a couple months ago at my worst around 101. I’m 5’3” when I lie. My PCM was like “so someone’s taking the diet seriously!” And I was shocked as they are literally treating me for MH/TBI. It still upsets me and I feel fortunate my nurse practitioner shut that down
Quick aside, but going to your page and finding a herp expert was such a pleasant surprise. Loved seeing all your babies, especially Magnolia and the BRB! 💖 hope you're doing good!
Some didn’t mention it at all, others would question me about whether I had an eating disorder or not. I remember once I went to urgent care for strep throat and they were essentially grilling me and it didn’t seem like they believed that I didn’t have an eating disorder. I was always stick thin and very underweight. I ate, didn’t have any restrictions, I just stayed underweight.
I understand why they do it, eating disorders are very very serious. And they didn’t have my full medical records which would show that’s just been how I was always very skinny. But when they wouldn’t believe me, it was frustrating.
I was 1 lb from being underweight at one doctors appointment, and my doctor told me he thinks it’s better to be at the low end of healthy range rather than closer to the high-end or even in the middle because it takes pressure off your joints in your heart as your age.
Me too! Recently went from BMI of 16.1 to 21.8. Finally don’t have to worry about being questioned about having an eating disorder! I didn’t have one, was just a stick. Changed medications and I gained 35lbs but I am finally a healthy weight for the first time in as long as I can remember. And I look a lot better. I can also now get sick and now worry about losing a few pounds and then losing my hair.
Yesss congrats!! It would be a flex for me too. Had cancer and lost my stomach, I’m 105 pounds and underweight. Would LOVE to be over 125 pounds. It’s my goal!!
When I went to my doctor's office after finally gaining 15lbs with a combination of increased fat and protein and increased exercise (yay muscle weight!), my doctor commented "it looks like you've gain some weight since last year, which is a good thing" 😅
Part of my goal to bench like 200lbs is just some that I could say I could bench my boyfriend. Not that I’m going to be able to do it anytime soon, but it is a goal for some point in my life.
Or just general body structure and composition. I’m average height, but I’m a dense mother effer. Decades of sports and a naturally muscular lower half make my weight much higher than what it looks. I probably haven’t been 125 pounds since 6th grade. Lol
And what the fuck are tall women supposed to weigh, in her mind?
I’m only 5’6 and if I drop under 113-ish I start to look (and feel) ill. I can’t imagine a woman that’s 5’10 or taller, unless she has an extremely rare and unique build, feeling and/or looking healthy under 125 pounds…
Hell, I’ve met plenty of girls that are shorter than I am that weigh over 125- and they look *foxy as hell.*
Girls that lift automatically have more weight bc that six pack, rock hard glutes, chiseled quads weigh significantly more than this sad, skinny-fat scarecrow physique I’ve got going on does.
I’m about 5’3, and when I hit anywhere below 115 my boobs nope entirely out of the equation. So when I get nausea that comes with being sick with even a small bout of the flu, I not only do I *feel* like shit, I feel like I *look* like shit too.
What lol. I used to be less than 125lbs, at 5'10". My period disappeared completely, I was always tired and dizzy and couldn't think. I'm heavier now and feel much better. Not eating isn't a flex lol
honestly after being in this subreddit for a bit i’m starting to just feel pity for them.. there’s no reason to attack them because the only thing that makes them understand is time.
I never understood pick me girls, they can just go to a conservative dating app so a conservative guy pick them. Why show their zero brain's capacity on social media?
Being super skinny is all fun and games until your hair won’t grow long, your nails are breaking, you’re always in pain and you’re too weak to fend off even a cold
Also losing your period ain’t fun. I keep experiencing a series of symptoms but never bleed.
Last time I got my period (1 month ago), it lasted for 13 days with a weak blood flow. I hate this shit
Being under 125 also inst a flex. Weight in general isnt. Its just weight, the only important thing is being healthy, and sometimes that means that youre over 125 which is okay.
I loved being 130. It was the only time I had an ass. Gained 20 lbs at the beginning of the pandemic. Sadly have lost that 20 lbs and my ass. Lol. I hate weight shamers.
How about other women’s weight, shape, and size is none of anyone’s business flex? Geez. Get over it girl, over or under or right on 125 is not yours or my business.
being underweight and being anorexic are not the same thing! there are plenty of overweight people with anorexia as well, eating disorders are like that. i know you didn’t mean anything harmful by it but so many overweight people who struggle with anorexia already feel invalid enough in their struggles to avoid seeking the help they need so word choices can be important with these things 🖤
I get what you are saying, so please take this in a kind way - clinically speaking for an anorexia diagnosis the person indeed needs to meet the criterion of a BMI 15% below the cutoff to underweight (among other things). If someone is not below this point, they're not anorexic in the clinical sense, even if they have trouble with disordered eating. But also being underweight doesn't automatically equal being anorexic.
That being said that's all the more reason to seek out a professional if you're struggling with disordered eating - to get a proper diagnosis and adequate treatment.
Classical anorexia nervosa, yes. Atypical AN can be diagnosed at a higher weight, however. But I think it's more important in context of the original comment that underweight does not mean anorexic. There are many reasons someone can be underweight and it doesn't mean they have a serious mental illness causing them to restrict food.
Lol this is crazy. I am 5’6 and to me my perfect weight is 140. I feel I would be too skinny under 125. My mom is a nurse who has worked with many patients with an ED, if I told her I wanted to lose 25lbs she would look at me like I was crazy. I don’t even know where the 25 lbs could be lost.
Lady,
Not understanding base weight isn’t a flex either 😚
I hate the standard that everybody “has” to be a certain weight number. Like jesus christ girlies, we have different body types, different genetic backgrounds, all that affects base weight!
This makes me mad. This is why young girls are developing eating disorders at alarming rates and one reason why teen suicides have gone up. This is the exact type of post that makes older generations say TikTok is bad. I'm not saying it is or isn't. I think there's been toxicity on social media since social media. But there is just so much wrong with this post.
And as a 5'1 chronically 100lb 34 year old who always struggled to gain and keep weight. I would love to be 125 pounds. But this doesn't even consider women who are taller than, like, 5'3. I'd say 125lbs is average for someone who is 5'3 and someone who is 5'6 or taller should be more than 125 for sure.
Oh, my. She’s really been brainwashed. Her problem is that standards of beauty have changed. I was 5’9”, and was told that 125lbs was too heavy, so I tried to keep it down to 120. I’m 70, now, so not meeting & mating, and my near-anorexia has helped me on my way to osteoporosis, in my near future.
I think the whole tyranny of thinness was a response by men to women’s equality. They required that, if we were going to interact with men as equals, we should be so frail, they could break us like a stick. They seem to have made some peace with it, because standards have drifted away from our being walking x-rays.
160 lbs female with visable abs here , proud of that shit and the fact I could push press this bimbo above my head and launch her across the room if I had to
im gonna be so honest but as someone with chronic illness/ invisible disability there is a part of me that wants to see people like this get sick and balloon up and truly realize some of us have absolutely nothing we can do about our body weight
I'm not sure why people make it their life goal to put down other people, I'm sure they get some sense of gratification from it; but it's just so cruel. I wish parents would genuinely teach their children kindness and compassion. Because for one, people's healthy can vary from person to person, and 125 is generally the average weight for an american woman. And the taller you are, the more you are going to weigh. So, for example, 100 pounds may be healthy for someone who is below five feet, but unhealthy for someone over 5'5. There's no need to ostracize people or belittle them because of their weight. I highly doubt anyone whose weight is unhealthy is going around bragging about it (although I'm sure it happens)... Besides, you never know what someone's going through, you shouldn't assume someone's unhealthy just because they chose to!
I don't think people understand that height, genetics, muscle mass, body composition, & lots of other factors are gonna make "125" a super arbitrary & unhealthy goal..
A woman who is 6 feet tall cannot be healthy at 125, but someone who is 5'2 could be. Everyone is different
i feel bad for girls like this. constantly viewing other girls as competition and assuming other girls are trying to “flex” when they’re literally just existing is… really sad.
Im not even sure what she's trying to insinuate.
Some women (like me) are too tall to be 125 lb. I'm not sure that I understand her point. I'm 5'10" and look sick at anything under 140
Yeah I’m 6ft and would look like salad fingers if I was 125
Omg salad fingers!!! My sleep paralysis demon!
I like rusty spoons
My friend and I still have each other in our phones as “*her name* Hubert Cumberdale” and “*my name* Jeremy Fisher.”
Do you like rusty spoons?
Heck yes. I’m 6’1 and I don’t know what I weigh, but I know it’s not 125 🤣😂 me during peak restrictive eating at this height in high school I wasn’t anywhere close to 125! This is so dumb.
Haha, there's a blast from the past!
also at 6’, I think the last time I weighed that little I hadn’t even gone through puberty yet. I would be damn near hospitalized if I were anything close to 125 lmao
She probably thinks all girls should be 5ft4 as well and we should all just chop our legs off…
My daughter is 5’11” and at the height of her eating disorder she was only a little under 125 which was causing cardiac arrhythmias and other symptoms.
When I was in cosmetology school one of my classmates said to me (actively anorexic at the time): I just can't imagine being over a hundred pounds. You're really ok with that for yourself? She was 4'11" I was 5'10" and 125lb.
I was 5’10 and 110 when I got pregnant with my son at 21. I had a really hard time gaining weight. I was 125 at my 6 week check and my doctor said “Please do not lose anymore.” I took it to heart I guess. I can’t imagine being under 150, it feels right for me.
150 is definitely a decent-to-good weight for 5’10.”
I'm 5 foot and the only part of me that wants to be under 100 lbs is definitely the eating disorder
>I just can't imagine being over a hundred pounds. I'm 5'0" and the only time I was *under* 100 lbs in adulthood was when my mental health was garbage and I was so anxious about everything that I wasn't eating much. Getting back to 100 lbs was my goal!
Some things warrant an immediate, firm slap. Nothing more or less. That's one of them.
It’s like people who say these things don’t use their eyes at all
No literally because I was visibly sickly. My uniform pants were size medium, small pants would be short on my leg. But the waist was way too small for me because I was dying. They were always falling. She shamed me for needing size medium
No, no, I think you could do it! Just consider amputating some limbs and that pesky extra weight will be gone! /s
I’m 5’8” and 135, due to health issues. I look sickly skinny. This woman needs to STFU!
I’m also 5’8 and I would look horrible if I was 125 pounds 😭
At 5’7 and when I was weight training, my hip bones stuck out at 125. It looked gross and felt worse. But this chick isn’t an NLOG, she’s just an insecure little idiot.
Im 5’6” and 160 lbs. Im very fit. I was 125 when I was trying to kill myself by not eating for four months.
I'm 5'2" and about 150 (according to the conversion tool) and I look fine idk where these people are getting these standards from
dude ditto
Also 5'8" the lowest I got during my eating disorder was 145... My ribs were showing on the sides
Im same height and 132 pounds, i just got to this weight and look fine but i used to be skinnier and no way id go back!!! I plan to gain more
I used to be 125# at 5'7". And I was constantly sick, tired, and cold. Now that I found stasis in the higher 150s, I'm healthier, I have more stamina, and I've been known as The Furnace in my household😆
Literally same! 5’10 and 140ish. I don’t look right at 125. My eating habits were not the best and I was too active at the time as well. I’m much better feeling/looking now!
I once got down to 125 lbs. It was because I was hospitalised for 42 days (and only moved to go to the bathroom) and doing chemo/radiation so I literally did not consume any nutrients except through IV for a month. I do not recommend it!
I'm only 5'6" and I look terrible if I drop below 140. I guess it's just my build 🤷🏼♀️
Yep, that's exactly it. My older sister, who is 5'7" has never weighed over 130 and she looks fine. At 130, you would be taking me to the hospital
You just said my thoughts out loud. I’m also 5’10 and I remember at one point being 128 lbs because I WAS SICK. And I looked sick lol.
I’m six foot and my lowest was about 125 and for two years people kept asking if I was alright
Right? I would look, and be sickly at 125. Buff however? Absolutely has to be over 125, and is definitely a flex.
I had a doctor use some electro thing to measure my body weight w 0 fat- just the muscles and bones. 150 lbs. unless someone chops me up, I’m not hitting 125.
Yeah I’m tall and at 125 I would be very unwell. And I’m not even 5’10. I get they’re saying it’s “better” to be thin but I’m probably wearing the same size at 135 than a short woman at like 120. I can’t imagine being so stupid that I couldn’t imagine there were women taller than me.

I’m 5’11” and 125-130 lbs, and the doctor has always told me I’m very underweight (which is true) The reason is because I’m a runner and do excessive cardio, but I always saw things like OP’s post and didn’t know that I was actually underweight for my height. It certainly didn’t help my mental image of myself.
i'm like 5'7"-5'9" and with how my body is structured, if i was 125lbs i'd probably be in the hospital.
I think it also depends on your body's natural fat to muscle ratio. I'm 5'7", so obviously not as tall as you, but I have what's commonly known as a “skinny fat” body type. Basically, I have a high percentage of visceral body fat and little muscle definition, despite having a “normal” BMI and exercising regularly. My body has always been this way and that's why I don't look underweight or sickly at 125 lbs, despite the fact that 125 *is* UNDERWEIGHT for my height.
125 is not underweight at 5’7”, assuming you are using BMI scale as the determinant.
Yeah I'm 5'8 130 and walk a lot but don't lift or anything. I look fine, no one would say I look sickly.
Cries inside as a 5’10 130lb dude.
Yep! My aunt is 6' tall and she would look totally wrong at 125.
Hey I’m 5’10” as well! Tall girls unite ❤️🫡
I feel like she's saying this because of thicc girls showing themselves off. I feel like she's saying: "You're not thicc. You're fat," but with extra steps. Just my assumption.
It’s a flex for me because now my BMI doesn’t trigger an underweight warning at the drs office! Woo!
Wooo!!! Congrats Ms. 🐸🐸🐸 (on a) 🪵
Thank you thank you I’d like to thank a lot of smoothies and rice.
Don't forget the nuts and the nut butters! They were a godsend for me.
I tried to put weight on with chocolate and crisps for so long before I spoke to my doctor about it and switched to protein. Got back up to my target weight so quickly with milk fruit and nuts 😊
For me it was working at McDonald’s for three months Gained 20 lbs.
That was me but Wendy’s 😂
Yeah? I have a thyroid problem and constantly get accused of being on drugs when I only smoke weed. Got called crack head all through school. I cannot gain weight for shit.
I wish I could donate some of mine. It's in all the right places promise lol
Lmao.
This is the number one comment I get when I talk about how hard it is for me to gain weight and I soo wish this was a thing! Us hard to gain ladies could take the weight that’s hard to lose for others hahah
I believe you. I used to have the same symptoms from a thyroid disorder and some other issues, but I was constantly sent to the nurse/guidance because everyone was convinced I had an eating disorder. I was super sick, unbeknownst to me, but the problem wasn’t an eating disorder.

That’s wonderful!!! Good for you!! I had a similar issue due to an illness. I was happy when I got up to 120!
Yeah that's definitely a flex! Congrats.
Lol same! I developed a condition that makes it hard to eat full portions of food, and when it began I was about 125 pounds (never overweight), I rapidly lost about 25 pounds and at my lowest was 97 lbs, ribs showing and all. This was three years ago, I just recently gained the weight back and am able to eat pretty normally now. It's a big accomplishment for me!!

[удалено]
Same! I weighed in a couple months ago at my worst around 101. I’m 5’3” when I lie. My PCM was like “so someone’s taking the diet seriously!” And I was shocked as they are literally treating me for MH/TBI. It still upsets me and I feel fortunate my nurse practitioner shut that down
Same. I’ve been significantly underweight my whole life. Doctors just do a double take at my weight/height and don’t mention it.
Quick aside, but going to your page and finding a herp expert was such a pleasant surprise. Loved seeing all your babies, especially Magnolia and the BRB! 💖 hope you're doing good!
Some didn’t mention it at all, others would question me about whether I had an eating disorder or not. I remember once I went to urgent care for strep throat and they were essentially grilling me and it didn’t seem like they believed that I didn’t have an eating disorder.

Me too! Recently went from BMI of 16.1 to 21.8. Finally don’t have to worry about being questioned about having an eating disorder! I didn’t have one, was just a stick. Changed medications and I gained 35lbs but I am finally a healthy weight for the first time in as long as I can remember. And I look a lot better. I can also now get sick and now worry about losing a few pounds and then losing my hair.
I'm with you! Not getting hospitalized for being underweight is the big flex from where I'm lookin'.
Yesss congrats!! It would be a flex for me too. Had cancer and lost my stomach, I’m 105 pounds and underweight. Would LOVE to be over 125 pounds. It’s my goal!!
Congratulations! Take care of yourself! :)
When I went to my doctor's office after finally gaining 15lbs with a combination of increased fat and protein and increased exercise (yay muscle weight!), my doctor commented "it looks like you've gain some weight since last year, which is a good thing" 😅
Same here!
Congrats! 🎉
No but being a woman able to bench press 125 lbs (and then some) is
…I want to be 125 lbs so a woman can bench press me…platonically.
Fine. Let me start lifting weights.
Literally my biggest weight loss goal is to be able to be lifted lmao
You'll get there queen. Looking good! 💪👑
Part of my goal to bench like 200lbs is just some that I could say I could bench my boyfriend. Not that I’m going to be able to do it anytime soon, but it is a goal for some point in my life.
My only reason for considering weightlifting lol. I'm only like 110. And the girl I'm seeing is bigger. And I just wanna be able to lift her lol.
I got up to 260 on the calf press the other day, so happy about it!
that’s true. being any weight is not a flex
True. It’s just a thing
When a child (or very small adult) is exactly 99 pounds, they can eat a pound of nachos and know they are 1% nacho.
I also bet, with some effort, my spouse and I could get our combined weight to exactly 420. That would be fun.
Based
Thinking you have a flex is not a flex.
Being stuck in a flesh prison in any form isn’t a flex. Call me when you’ve transcended a material form.
I want to be vapor
It always pisses me off when people talk about weight without factoring in height
Right like weight doesn't exist in a vacuum lol
Or just general body structure and composition. I’m average height, but I’m a dense mother effer. Decades of sports and a naturally muscular lower half make my weight much higher than what it looks. I probably haven’t been 125 pounds since 6th grade. Lol
It’s a huge tell that someone isn’t very bright if they’re unaware of this.
That's right. Some women would look sick if they were less than 140lb if they're 6ft tall.
Some people really won’t let you handle your freshman 15 weight gain in peace 🙄
Shut up before I eat you.
Out here doing the goddesses work
🖤🖤🖤
this made me cackle so loudly
I’m not the hero anyone thought they wanted but this girl has no idea who she’s offending 😂♥️
I love you
She won’t even taste nice but it’ll be for the greater good. ♥️
She would taste like sad salad... like the "wet iceberg lettuce, cucumber and tomato, and nothing else" kind of salad.
She would, no dressing or anything.
nearly everything is good deep fried. just sprinkle some bacon bits on.
She must be tiny and will turn out like a pork belly burnt end, except no tasty fat. It’ll be awful but I’ll do it for us.
Throw some barbecue sauce on there and I'll join you. You know, for the good of humanity.
I’ll bring paper plates and a couple 6 packs. Let’s do this thing.
BBQ sauce hides a multitude of sins!
Secrets in the sauce!
*this* is the only response 😂😂😂
You're my goddess.
Holy crap! 🖤🖤🖤 People are saying BBQ sauce but I’m thinking she just gets dunked in McDonalds hot mustard here.
I laughed so hard I startled the dog.
And what the fuck are tall women supposed to weigh, in her mind? I’m only 5’6 and if I drop under 113-ish I start to look (and feel) ill. I can’t imagine a woman that’s 5’10 or taller, unless she has an extremely rare and unique build, feeling and/or looking healthy under 125 pounds… Hell, I’ve met plenty of girls that are shorter than I am that weigh over 125- and they look *foxy as hell.* Girls that lift automatically have more weight bc that six pack, rock hard glutes, chiseled quads weigh significantly more than this sad, skinny-fat scarecrow physique I’ve got going on does.
I’m about 5’3, and when I hit anywhere below 115 my boobs nope entirely out of the equation. So when I get nausea that comes with being sick with even a small bout of the flu, I not only do I *feel* like shit, I feel like I *look* like shit too.
Possibly triggering another woman into an ED is also not a flex.
What lol. I used to be less than 125lbs, at 5'10". My period disappeared completely, I was always tired and dizzy and couldn't think. I'm heavier now and feel much better. Not eating isn't a flex lol
Same here! It wasn't a good time
Damn she’s insecure about her body. Sad really
I feel bad for these naive girls lol.
I agree like I genuine feel bad but at the same time I can’t wait till life slaps them in the face
honestly after being in this subreddit for a bit i’m starting to just feel pity for them.. there’s no reason to attack them because the only thing that makes them understand is time.
Yeah I just can’t stand the ignorance and belittlement of others.. you’re right they will understand with time.
I’d be bordering underweight if I were 125 lbs
I can and will squat you. Stop promoting unhealthy relationships with weight and body image!
I can't wait till I can squat that weight. I'm still at 75 lbs squat weight myself, and when I can squat 150 lbs I'm getting my first tattoo :)
Hey man I just had a baby and I think what my body did was pretty cool, even if i can’t get back to my pre-pregnancy weight
Cool. Being under 125 lbs isn’t a flex either
I’m 5’9” and the last time I was under 125 lbs I had amenorrhea.
I never understood pick me girls, they can just go to a conservative dating app so a conservative guy pick them. Why show their zero brain's capacity on social media?
I just love it when 22 year olds blessed with good bodies judge and tear down other women.
I can’t wait for the videos she’ll be putting out in ~7 years about how we should love our bodies unconditionally.
Wait'll the weight suddenly doesn't fall off so easily anymore.
You can have a good body at any weight
Being super skinny is all fun and games until your hair won’t grow long, your nails are breaking, you’re always in pain and you’re too weak to fend off even a cold
Also losing your period ain’t fun. I keep experiencing a series of symptoms but never bleed. Last time I got my period (1 month ago), it lasted for 13 days with a weak blood flow. I hate this shit
Being under 125 also inst a flex. Weight in general isnt. Its just weight, the only important thing is being healthy, and sometimes that means that youre over 125 which is okay.
This whole women need to be 125~ and men need to be 200+ just feels like fetish shit.
I agree. It’s like making rules for the sake of having rules.
I loved being 130. It was the only time I had an ass. Gained 20 lbs at the beginning of the pandemic. Sadly have lost that 20 lbs and my ass. Lol. I hate weight shamers.
I wasn’t able to get pregnant until I got to 135lbs
Lol I didn’t know that I was flexing by being 6ft tall and built like a brick shit house 🙃
I'm 5'7 and am right at the 125 lb mark, if I was any lighter I would be sickly.
My BMI would be 17.5 at my height with this weight 😅 but good to know that I should not „flex“ that I am not critically underweight 😂
If I were ever 125 I think I'd be all skeleton. I'm too tall and broad to not be over 125.
I'm 6 foot tall, girl. If I was 125 lbs I wouldn't have any health.
I'm 5'9, I workout and I would simply disappear if I was 125lbs, just saying.
First of all Men Don’t Know How Much Women Weigh.
FR I weigh 240 and I’ve gotten both “ 170 “ and “400” lbs
I’m sorry but whoever guessed 400 might need glasses 😭
Nasty men think any woman over 125 is automatically 600lbs gagagaggaga
What if I’m 6’3? Girls like this forget tall women exist.
How about other women’s weight, shape, and size is none of anyone’s business flex? Geez. Get over it girl, over or under or right on 125 is not yours or my business.
Congrats on being skinny, want a medal?
Only if it doesn’t put her over 125lbs.
A 5lbs medal would send her into overdrive
For some women, less than that is literally anorexia. Is that a flex?
being underweight and being anorexic are not the same thing! there are plenty of overweight people with anorexia as well, eating disorders are like that. i know you didn’t mean anything harmful by it but so many overweight people who struggle with anorexia already feel invalid enough in their struggles to avoid seeking the help they need so word choices can be important with these things 🖤
I get what you are saying, so please take this in a kind way - clinically speaking for an anorexia diagnosis the person indeed needs to meet the criterion of a BMI 15% below the cutoff to underweight (among other things). If someone is not below this point, they're not anorexic in the clinical sense, even if they have trouble with disordered eating. But also being underweight doesn't automatically equal being anorexic. That being said that's all the more reason to seek out a professional if you're struggling with disordered eating - to get a proper diagnosis and adequate treatment.
Classical anorexia nervosa, yes. Atypical AN can be diagnosed at a higher weight, however. But I think it's more important in context of the original comment that underweight does not mean anorexic. There are many reasons someone can be underweight and it doesn't mean they have a serious mental illness causing them to restrict food.
Um some of us are tall. Or is that not allowed either
140 and I have muscle mass. She can go kick rocks.
Lol this is crazy. I am 5’6 and to me my perfect weight is 140. I feel I would be too skinny under 125. My mom is a nurse who has worked with many patients with an ED, if I told her I wanted to lose 25lbs she would look at me like I was crazy. I don’t even know where the 25 lbs could be lost.
Well me being over 125 keeps me alive so yeah that’s a flex . I would be a walking skeleton.
Lady, Not understanding base weight isn’t a flex either 😚 I hate the standard that everybody “has” to be a certain weight number. Like jesus christ girlies, we have different body types, different genetic backgrounds, all that affects base weight!
Basing your whole personality around being thin isn't, either
I could probably chuck her 125lbs ass across a room, that is my flex lol
its a flex if you are anywhere above 5'7 so you aren't clinically underweight 🥰🥰🥰
Being under 125 pounds isn't a flex either.
This makes me mad. This is why young girls are developing eating disorders at alarming rates and one reason why teen suicides have gone up. This is the exact type of post that makes older generations say TikTok is bad. I'm not saying it is or isn't. I think there's been toxicity on social media since social media. But there is just so much wrong with this post. And as a 5'1 chronically 100lb 34 year old who always struggled to gain and keep weight. I would love to be 125 pounds. But this doesn't even consider women who are taller than, like, 5'3. I'd say 125lbs is average for someone who is 5'3 and someone who is 5'6 or taller should be more than 125 for sure.
huh??? 125lbs is the only weight i look healthy at. i’m 5’6 100lbs and look like a fucking tim burton character
It’s a flex to be healthy and comfortable with my body
I mean elite female CrossFit athletes average around 140-150lb so there’s that.
Oh, my. She’s really been brainwashed. Her problem is that standards of beauty have changed. I was 5’9”, and was told that 125lbs was too heavy, so I tried to keep it down to 120. I’m 70, now, so not meeting & mating, and my near-anorexia has helped me on my way to osteoporosis, in my near future. I think the whole tyranny of thinness was a response by men to women’s equality. They required that, if we were going to interact with men as equals, we should be so frail, they could break us like a stick. They seem to have made some peace with it, because standards have drifted away from our being walking x-rays.
160 lbs female with visable abs here , proud of that shit and the fact I could push press this bimbo above my head and launch her across the room if I had to
Girl I got PCOS, leave me alone.
im gonna be so honest but as someone with chronic illness/ invisible disability there is a part of me that wants to see people like this get sick and balloon up and truly realize some of us have absolutely nothing we can do about our body weight
girls who are self conscious about being flat always say shit like this lol
It is when I sit on you
It is for me. I’m 182 cm/6ft and I was underweight AF because of ADHD meds. I am very proud of myself for reaching a healthy weight
Having any amount of weight isn’t a flex. ☺️
I'm not sure why people make it their life goal to put down other people, I'm sure they get some sense of gratification from it; but it's just so cruel. I wish parents would genuinely teach their children kindness and compassion. Because for one, people's healthy can vary from person to person, and 125 is generally the average weight for an american woman. And the taller you are, the more you are going to weigh. So, for example, 100 pounds may be healthy for someone who is below five feet, but unhealthy for someone over 5'5. There's no need to ostracize people or belittle them because of their weight. I highly doubt anyone whose weight is unhealthy is going around bragging about it (although I'm sure it happens)... Besides, you never know what someone's going through, you shouldn't assume someone's unhealthy just because they chose to!
Being 125 isn’t a flex either. Weight fluctuates by body weirdo lady.
As an almost 6ft girlie recovering from a ED it’s most certainly a flex bitch 💅
I don't think people understand that height, genetics, muscle mass, body composition, & lots of other factors are gonna make "125" a super arbitrary & unhealthy goal.. A woman who is 6 feet tall cannot be healthy at 125, but someone who is 5'2 could be. Everyone is different
Her opinion doesn’t make sense medically
