Let me ask you a question, PP. Do you feel like you are a reasonably thin person? I'm the PP who is 5'6 and fluctuates from 148-155, and I feel like I would be perfect at 145. But then I see many of my friends who weigh in the 120s and I think I'd really like to look like them. Am I kidding myself that 145 looks great on a 5'6 woman? I have big boobs and a spare tire around my belly, but my legs are ok.
NP here, but I'm 5'8" and 140. I feel reasonably thin. But it really depends on so many individual factors: how and where do you carry your weight? How much is muscle mass? Are you wearing the right size clothes? Do you feel healthy? Are you exercising regularly and eating well? All of those contribute to whether or not I feel "thin," and yes, a lot of it is mental. Don't focus so much on the number on the scale. Find a weight range that is healthy and works for you, and try to stay within your range, but don't weigh yourself too often. Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Find clothes that fit and flatter. Get your mental house in order. All of those things matter so much more than whether you are 148 or 145 pounds.
