Amen, DualFace.

You're certainly NOT over weight.
Losing twenty pounds, with your stats, wouldn't be the healthiest choice for you.
If you want to become a more active person, set up a routine that works best for you & and has about equal amounts of cardio & light weight training in order to be fit.
And if this is indeed your goal, don't think of it as 'dieting' if you change your eating habits, you're simply eating healthier because from the sounds of it you don't need to lose any weight.

And keep in mind that everyone is built differently -- there are people that are naturally stocky, average or beanpole skinny, since we're all different we have different shapes & metabolisms. Being stick-skinny is not as glamorous as The Hills n' other crap make it out to be.
I know it can be rough sometimes as it seems like there is so much pressure to try to fit in the super-skinny mold ('cause we ladies see it all over TV & Magazines) and it is just plain stupid.

If you want to make changes in your life habits that is great -- but only make them if you have your health & well-being at top priority, not anything based on forms of peer-pressure or for vanity.
As for making active choices - good luck.
I hope you have more confidence in yourself & ignore those who would be jealous jerks of normal figured people.
**You know they are! They wouldn't be that way if they weren't ;)

Stay strong
