I agree - Liposuction..............but you'll need parental consent since you're under 18.....and make sure you tell them about the runway modeling to give you the smallest scar possible....

This stuff always freaks me out - I've never been "thin" and even on the times when I've dieted down to 7% bf for competition I feel like a bag of bones and all my joints hurt.
OK just for the sake of trying to be constructive can you post up what is a typical meal plan so we can at least see if there's a way to tweak your diet for max effect here? Please post as follows and it would be fantastic if you could put it in a food counts program like www.fitday.com and post up the total calories and the macronutrient ratios - %protein , % fat, % carbs,
Meal 1: 8 am
1/2 c oatmeal
1 whole egg
1 egg white
Meal 2: 11 am
2 oz almonds
Meal 3: 2 pm
4 oz chicken
2 cup broccoli
something like that.

OK -- so basically where you are at is your body reflecting your current diet. So you've got some fluff on you - your diet looks really like crap actually (lol not slamming ...
)
The good news is that there is a LOT of room to improve. I am amazed that you don't gain weight on that. It kinda doesn't even look like you are ever hungry or "starving" yourself on that.
So w/ that diet you can easily see that as the source of your love handle thingy -- could be just stored fat from crap your body can't actually metabolize and use for anything, water that it holds because of the amount of carbs you eat and possibly still just some baby fat because you are still under 18.
So what I would suggest - I realize you need to keep your weight down - well not really weight but the whole proportion of your body - so actually you can drop bodyfat, increase a little muscle mass and you might even gain a few lbs and look better - lean muscle mass can weigh more than fat can - it takes up a lot less room tho. But ultimately you want to get the bodyfat down there.
So clean up your diet and I suspect you will see some immediate differences -- it looks like you eat whatever is available but w/ no preference to cleaner foods so a change in the diet may be a little bit of a lifestyle change for you, changing your tastes and maybe developing some new ones to replace existing ones.
Not being sure of how much food you eat or what is the threshold of where you might start to gain weight, I'll stay very conservative in using some rules of thumb to build some diet guidelines.
To maintain current weight, generally want to eat total cals = 10-12 x your bodyweight.
--> Total cals/day = (125 lb x 10) to (125 lb x 12) = 1250 - 1500 cals
Good ratios of macronutrients to make up those cals:
40% protein / 30% carb / 30% fat.
Best way to eat food and have your body metabolize it is to eat every 2-3 hrs. This ends up being 5-6 small meals / day.
- each meal has some protein in it - somewhere around 25-35 g of protein per meal
--- this is like 4 oz of chicken - a serving about the size of your fist, 6 oz of fish or 4 oz of lean beef.
Eat veggies - looks like you barely have any in your diet. This will be a valuable habit to have as you get older -- excellent source of anti-oxidants and things that help to clean up and shuttle out all the waste & by-products of daily bodily processes (e.g. "free radicals") Those are the things that will age your skin, etc.
Don't be afraid of good quality fats.
Eat good quality clean carbs. Lots of the stuff you are eating now is very processed high-sugar crap. This stuff is what gets stored as fat just because the body can't use all of it. Another aspect of high sugar shit food is that it causes insulin spikes - essentially that "sugar rush", and then you crash. That big spike and then drop is hard on your system - better to keep the whole thing more even so you don't have the rushes & crashes over the course of the day. That can also go towards depositing more fat.
I would suggest that whatever diet you end up using, put it into a food counts program so you know what you are REALLY eating. A program like www.fitday.com is really easy to use, its free and online. It takes a minute or two to configure some of the stuff that may be "custom" food you eat, but when you put in your whole day's meal plan it will total up the calories and the breakdown of how much protein , fat & carb is in your diet. A good baseline is to get that breakdown close to 40% protein / 30% carb / 30% fat. If any of the numbers are way off from that, that is a signal that probably you need to look at what foods are contirbuting to that and change them - those could easily be the reason you aren't getting to your goal.
I hope this isn't sounding too confusing - basically your body is built to run efficiently if you feed it the right stuff. If not it will bog down & you get these fat deposits, maybe dragging energy levels, etc. But often just some simple tweaks of your diet will get amazing results because you are giving your body what it needs to run at its best.
A good diet for you might look something like this:
Meal 1: ("breakfast")
1/2 c oatmeal (good carb source - not the cereal & bread shit)
2 whole eggs --- some protein
1/2 c berries --- great source of enzymes, some healthy sugars
Meal 2: ("mid morning snack")
15 almonds (good fat + protein source, easy to carry & eat if you are in class or something - note to not eat alot of them because they are high cal & too much fat isn't what you were looking for out of this meal)
Meal 3: ("Lunch")
4 oz chicken
1-2 c veggies --- this could all be accommodated probably by your chicken wrap.
4 oz sweet potato or 1/2 c brown rice (a good carb source)
Meal 4: ("afternoon snack")
15 almonds -- same idea as Meal 2
Meal 5: ("dinner")
4 oz chicken
2 c veggies - could be salad, beans, broccoli, whatever
Meal 6: ("late night snack")
- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter or handful of almonds -- or if you are into protein shakes - 1 shake + 1 tbsp flax seed oil --- here the idea is to get some fats-based calories in which will digest slower and sort of keep you from getting hungry over night.
Consider something like that - the portions are smaller, have protein in them, very little processed stuff and provides all the nutrients you need. Not sure of the total calories or if that's too much food / not enough food and how your weight will change w/ that - but you could exclude the last meal if you just don't feel hungry at night or whatever.
Any thoughts? It requires a little bit of time to prepare some of that stuff but it would really go a long way to cleaning up some of the shit you eat now and probably get your mid section down some just w/ a little water dumping - meaning if you change your diet and cut down the amount of carbs you eat I bet you will dump a couple lbs in water weight (and thus some midsection squishiness).
Let me know what you think -- like I said - the most successful changes are lifestyle changes - they don't require that you eat weird things for a short period of time where you just suffer to try to lose this weight / bodyfat and then as soon as you go back to "normal" eating you gain it all back. Just make a few adjustments in what you are eating now, make sure you like the foods you are eating, make those changes habit and then it is no work at all to lose weight - your body will be running efficiently because you are fueling it the right way and it will look good.

LOL this is actually sort of a cool situation -- b0e is crazy skinny so you wonder how does someone like that have "love handles" -- step 1) what is your diet? And voila! All sorts of easy things to clean up!
b0e - the other thing - obviously you are interested in pursuing a modeling career - but if you have a healthy diet & lifestyle you will generally be better able to handle the stresses that career path puts on you. People end up doign all sorts of things to make their bodies look a certain way but continue the shitty lifestyle that just adds that much more stress to your body which will eventually lead to your body telling you to just stop it and it will either make you sick or just shut down.

Yeah, WOW Sassy, so kind of you to post so much information. Hopefully, it'll help her.
My suggestion is the same as everyone else's- good ole diet and exercise. If you don't already exercise, then once you do, even if it's just jogging for 20 minutes a day, you'll notice results immediately. And just try being more conscious of what you're putting inside your body. Pizza and junk food won't make you feel great all around but the diet Sassy suggested- you'll feel fabulous and look it too!
