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?

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.
