No. You are not even close to being overweight.

Here's the thing - people that want to pick on other people will be able to find a sore spot. If your reaction lets them know that weight is a concern with you, then they're going to keep using fat comments to get to you.

Just know you are NOT fat, and then it doesn't matter if others mock you. Even if you were overweight, though comments are not appropriate...hopefully they are not coming out of the mouths of your friends.

If they are, I'd seriously question why they would want to hurt you. I'd let them know you didn't appreciate their comments. If they continued, I'd find some other friends.

Good luck.
