Your BMI might say you are, but it really depends. Muscle is heavier than fat, so even really fit athletes are considered overweight or obese on their BMI charts.

Your probably just being too over-analytical. I do it all the time, I convince myself that I'm fat, ugly or have a deformity when really I'm just too over-analytical.
