I'm 5'3" and 120 pounds. I know that isn't overweight.. but I want to lose 10 because I'm a little out of shape. What I'm more obsessive about though, is just diet and fitness in general. Calories.. how the body works.. burning fat.. the difference you see and feel when you lose weight.. that sort of thing.
During my first hour in high school for example, there is a girl who eats two pop tarts and some coffee each day. And all I can think about is "that is about 500 calories just for breakfast.. I wonder if she'll start gaining weight..." and during lunch, I have a salad, with a bunch of different toppings, and I cant help but to wonder if it really isn't all that healthy. And I have friends who get "Bosco Sticks" which are basically big cheese stick type things. I looked it up, and it's 400 calories plus about 40 for the sauce. And I wonder if they even care that it's just..fattening...
I keep telling myself that all of this could be somewhat of a good thing. It makes me interested in being healthy. So I'm considering being a dietician registered nurse? Something of the sort.
And I'm not anorexic.. I think bone skinny is disturbing. But I also see people who are skinny-fat (like me) and it makes me wonder how much they weigh.. I think I care about weight because I'm afraid that I just weigh too much. I like feeling like I can be picked up and carried. That I can sit on a boyfriend's lap and not feel like he's going to be like "wow, heavy..." (I know some of my friends feel the same way about that..)
So what do you think about all of this?
Advice, etc?
--Thanks!
(Also... if you're really good with calories, etc. Do you know how many I should be consuming if I'm slightly active? I'm 14 and not sure if 1,200 is too low.)

Is this curves or pudge?
I think it's mostly flab. :/
Like, when I jump.. some of me jiggles.
That's what gets me.
