Hi, please just bear with an insecure girl and her issues?

Okay, so, sorry that I’m being one of those girls who ask whether they are fat or not on this site. I really am, but normally I have to put up a confident front when dealing with people face to face and when I get online in an anonymous setting, I just let the insecurity out.
So, does this sound fat?
height 5′ 11 3/4" – 6′
weight 179 (I’m 3 lbs overweight, but I went to my doctor and apparently it’s muscle mass)
bust: 41.8
waist: 30.5
hips: 41.9
thighs: 24.2
upper arm: 12.5

I play sports (softball on a varsity level, volleyball on a JV) so I do have muscle tone, but it’s not VERY noticeable.
I am bipolar and I did have major depression issues and binge eating problems at while ago but I’ve been cleared up for those two, but it kind of explains the insecurity and the weight and extra flab, haha. Sorry that I’m insecure, but I really appreciate feedback.
Oh, and the measurements are ones I had to have taken for a dress, I’m not ana or really obsessive like that.
Thanks!

Give yourself a confidence boost, you deserve it, with measurements like that. Go to http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ and put in your height & weight. You’ll see that you are "normal".

But it’s a bit out for people who are taller than average. I’m classed as overweight because I’m 6’5 & 220 lbs, even though I’ve got abs and am not particularly muscular.

So basically, substitute "normal" for "perfect" and you are spot on. Also, remember that muscle is a lot heavier than fat. The best thing to do is to take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror and realize that with measurements like that, you’re quite attractive.

Just try to enjoy your body. You’re doing great.
