Quote  |  Reply
So i feel fine, but am I? I am 13, 5 ft 7 in, and I weigh 100 pounds. I've never had problems with being heavy, I've always been thin. Recently someone made a comment about me being "anorexic".isn't anorexia a mental disease, so if I had anorexia I would probably be obsessed with what I eat? Well I think I eat fine, this is what I had today: Breakfast- -bowl of oatmeal -glass of milk Lunch- -apple -salad w/grilled chicken Dinner- -white rice -broccoli -sweet potato Snacks- -applesauce -protein bar -chocolate bar -popcorn

What is your fitness routine like?  Anorexia can include under-eating, or overexercising, or both.  

You are quite skinny, but since you are young, you're fine for now.  As you get older, you'll grow and gain some weight, but don't worry about that.  I think your diet is lacking in fat and calories overall.  If I had to guess, I would say you're eating around 1400-1500 calories a day, and assuming you're moderately active, you should be able to maintain your weight on 2000-2100.  

Try adding some avocado to your salad or olive oil to your sweet potato or eat some eggs, a grilled cheese, ice cream.

Have fun and be a kid.

Well, the username "dying4perfection" is throwing me off.. do YOU feel like you are fine?

Your username is throwing me off as well, but I do also agree with smashley.

You are a kid, enjoy it and dont start obsessing with calories. You are young, your weight will be lower as your body is still growing.  As you get older you will start to fill out with breasts and hips and look more healthier.

hey! im a freshman now but when i was your age...I was also around your weight. people always considered me petite but now I am 116ish so you are totally okay! You will gain weight as you grow older but your meals sound pretty familiar to mine. actually though, I was under 5 feet before seventh grade....now im 5'7...so because of your height, you may want to eat just a pinch more to support your body whiles its growing!:)

At the weight, height, and age, why would you have a calorie counters account? But yeah you're normal. You'll grow soon though. How you deal with that, is what will define whether you're okay or not.

Is It Possible to Go Natural?
The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
