I am short, 5'0, and I currently weigh 112.8 lbs. Around 5 years ago during my Junior year of high school, I gained weight pretty quickly from being around 103-105 lbs to 137 lbs. I hated it. I hated how I let myself go. When I saw that I was 10 pounds overweight last year, it was pretty much a wakeup call to get it together before I get worse. I was deeply insecure about this weight gain and lost all confidence. I developed social anxiety and isolated myself from my friends.
I started going on a diet last October and lost 5 pounds in a week (I'm assuming that was water weight, not sure). I steadily lost from there and once I reached 120 pounds in around January I noticed it was much more difficult to lose. But I made sure to at least maintain my weight. Now, I'm finally 113 lbs. Since we hadn't met up with other relatives during quarantine, when we finally saw each other 2 weeks ago everyone said I looked so skinny. It was then my parents started saying I was too skinny now. It really hurts because I worked pretty damn hard to lose some weight and now my parents are saying I look too skinny when they were saying I needed to lose weight months ago. I come from an Asian household so you could imagine what they would say blatantly (in front of everyone) about my weight at the time I was at my highest.
Now, I'm afraid of losing a final 5 pounds or my parents might think I'm sick. I am pretty happy with my CW but I would like to lose the extra fat and tone up a bit. Did anyone have this experience as well? My parents aren't overweight or anything. I have an older sister who is roughly 5'1 but weighs 106 and they don't say anything to her. It may be due to the fact that my face had shrunk as my face was bloated and chubbier when I put on weight.
