You sound just fine to me, Frustrated. I'll bet you're very cute. Remember that "pear shaped" is healthy -- it's the natural female condition, perfect for bearing children. You may not see yourself as attractive but I saw a study in Psychology Today where a group of young men were asked to pick the most attractive girl out of a series of drawings. They almost all prefered the pear shape with lots of contrast between waist and hip width.

If you really want to lose a few pounds try joining an aerobic class or walking. As for calorie needs, the general rule is goal weight times 15. Even tiny people need to eat!
