Hi Caitlin,


It is really hard to say just from numbers - there are too many other factors involved. What I CAN tell you is that you are NOT too big at that weight and being that tall. Also, try to focus on what is going on with you emotionally. I know this is not easy, but it will be an important part of recovery.

Love & hugs, Kristina

5'11 and 130# is a body mass index (BMI) of 18.1, which is considered underweight according to the national institutes of health's BMI calculator: http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm

so you are NOT overweight and you don't need to lose a few pounds.
