is 26 inch (67 cm) waist too big?

My mom's telling me that i need to diet so i get thinner. at least until i get down to 60 cm (23.5 inches). apparently she was a skinnier than that in her teens and says i should be too or it's embarrassing. i don't know if i should trust her or myself. any help?

Your moms body is not the same as yours, and trying to measure you to fit her expectations of herself at that age is just an invitation to disappointment, resentment and anger. 26" waist is fine, of itself, and the idea you should be embarassed about your appearance is just a shitty idea (or does she mean she would be embarassed? - even worse).

Trust Yourself.

26 inch waist? Trust yourself. Though you are your mothers blood, you're not an exact copy of her. Your father and mother are not your mother's father and mother. I hint at genetic diversity.

Just stay active and do as many after school activities as you can, don't starve yourself, and eat healthy. You'll be fine.

You are not your mother. Waist size in a perfect world will be 10 inches less than your other two measurements. They may not be the same as another person.

The most important things to work on are not physical. When we are happy we tend to be healthy. 💐

Kefir that's degrading to people over 300 lb. Don't want no fat shaming. They can't help it if they have big bones. Specially their gigantic ass bones

Unless you are really thin framed, it is ridiculous to think of 26 in as too big.

Are you thick/curvy?
