Skinny, yet still have fat?

Alright, well people always tell me all the time how thin I am. One time my mother took me to a nutritionist because she thought I had an eating disorder, and you get it, people think I'm skinny.

My measurements for my waist is 26in an dhips at 35in, which I think is small as well?

Anyway, my point being, although I look the part, I still have a lot of fat (or skin) on my stomach, hips, thighs. I am not exaggerating, I can literally grab a handful of it off of my stomach and I laugh when people ask why I'm wearing a one piece to the pool.

How come this is? Is it skin or fat? How do I get rid of it?Why do I have it? I will not talk to my doctor about this for we really don't get along ever since she accused me of having anorexia.

I personally think it's fat because I have lost ionches by working out.

Thanks for reading this and please respond!

Anyone can grab skin/fat off their stomach. It is not excess fat, it's normal. If you couldn't grab skin or fat from your stomach, it would be because you were just bones! Stop worrying, your measurements are fine, you sound pefect : )

Have you lost weight if so its skin. or maybe its just fat. Try lipo!

You have lost too much weight. This is excess skin. Eat.

It sounds like the look you desire will require more activity, and also more eating.

I don't think 26-35 is skinny. It's thin. But don't loose more or you'll become skinny.

more likley it is excess skin, if i were you i would save up a few grand and go to the plastic surgeon and get that skin surgicly removed, hell if you want people to show the precedure on tv you probably get a huge discount or maybee even get it for free

if it's skin ab workouts should help to tighten the skin.. and since you're lean, if it's skin in can't be all that bad..

if its fats, well, i can empathize, lol. just need to workout more, they build up when i slack off.

but then again, everyone's body is different.. handle in input-output ratio? take up gourmet cooking? lol.. quality over quantity when it comes to food.. yep.

go to a gym and get a personal trainer, you need toned is all.

DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU SWEAT TIL YOUR CLOTHES ARE WET...NOT KIDDING AND CHECK THE FAT CONTENT ON WHATEVER IS IN YOUR DIET....

That handful that you are able to grab is your skin. Further, it is impossible for a human to have 0% body fat.

My personal trainer would call you a skinny fat chick , not to be mean though, You just need to work out and firm your body than you look and feel more toned.

sorrie to burst your bubble, but if you honestly think like that, then you probably are anorexic.

I'm skinny as welll so I know how it feels.
You probably aren't exercising enough. But you can still be skinny because you probably eat right or don't eat enough.
Hope I Helped.

It's probably mostly skin and some fat. Continue to work out because that's the best thing anyone can do for themselves. Try a yoga or pilates class since their focus is on the core, or center of your body. Also, fat is a healthy thing. Not a lot, but a little as insulation for the body. No one wants any but you must accept that everyone will have a little. Don't worry about what you can grab people can't see what you "could" stretch away from your belly.

It's probably fat. And you have it because you're supposed to, you're a female. You're naturally supposed to maintain a higher level of body fat, and it's your body's way of keeping you safe and warm by keeping bits of fat on your body.

Excessively low body fat percentages can lead to not so great effects like completely halted menstural cycles.

But if you have such a problem with your doctor, then you should probably switch to a new one.

first you look good! second you neeed a new doctor

You know wut... for my thought you are skinny... bu the thing is that you feel fat...and when you look at the mirrow you see yourself as being fat... and that is not true... just be comfortable with what you have... cauz... as people have told you you are thin... and that is ok.... but if you are doing somethin to loose weight is not good for you... that can become an addiction.... think that you have the perfect body... and you are super OK with it... and then when you start believing what you are thinking... you'll see you'll notice how great your body is..... just know~ you are perfect as you are..... i am telling you this cauz i have had that experience..... but now i feel better about body...super comfortable and all...... just be yourself and don't worry cauz you will be alright.... who cares... if you wear a bikini??? SUPER fat girls wear bikinis...and they don't care about their weight... ecause they are comfortable as they look....... so don't try to please others with your beauty or body...... just please yourself~ if someone likes you..it should be because of who you are not because of how you look..... well i hope this answer will help you... anyways...... take care o yourself.... and good luck
