Ok so here's the deal. I am 13 years old and 5'1 and 74 pounds in the morning and usually around 76 or 77 at night. At the beginning of the year, I was 95 pounds. When I went to a dance competition in March, I saw a lot of really skinny girls, and I wanted to look like them. So for the past 5 months I have been starving myself. I lost about 20 pounds in just 6 months, which is a lot. I was never fat to begin with, but I thought I was. I wish I would have just stopped losing weight around 83 pounds and my mom said I would be fine. But no, I was an id**t and I kept going, never thinking I was skinny enough. I'm finally eating the calories I need, getting from the 600 I was eating to trying to get to 1600-1800. I've been seeing therapists and stuff, butnow my mom wants me to gain weight and get to 80 pounds! I really don't want to, I'm afraid all the weight I gain will go to my stomach and I will look bloated, like a little fatty. Mom says that it's normal for girls my age to have a little belly, but then if that's normal, I don't want to be normal. I can see my spine, my hip bones stick out, and so do a few of my ribs. But I feel like my stomach is still a little chubby. Maybe my views are just distorted? Idk. I know I can't lose anymore weight, but I really don't want to gain weight either. And since I'm a dancer, I feel like I have to be thin, and I want to be thin, who doesn't? I f anyone has been through something like this before, I would love to talk. Some days I do just want to die, or just run away and escape it all, I'm tired of being hounded to gain weight. My mom said if I don't start gaining weight and changing my mentality about things, I might have to go to a hospital, and I don't want to do that! I would miss out on so much. This summer has been the hardest one yet and now I look back on this whole thing and I'm so mad that I let it start, I wasted a huge part of my childhood and screwed up my life. Will I be fat if I get to 80 pounds? How can I gain a little bit of weight healthily withoua eating a bunch of crappy foods, and eating so much? Now I eat very healthy, only whole grains and good fats, and all organic. Someone, please help me!
He! No offense but you guys are pathetic. I am 13 and i play soccer all the time and i am 120 pounds. My doctor says it is mostly muscle , but I am a little chubby and I am not that embarrassed about it. You two should enjoy being teenagers and start eating some food because it gives you energy and you as teenagers need that. 80 pounds is not fat my 9 year old sister weights that and she is flat as paper. As thirteen year old girl you should be from about 100 to 140 pounds and promise me you will feel much better about yourselves.you should also be eating from about 1600 to 2000 calories a day as thirteen year old girls. Never ever ever starve yourself bec you could die from that. If I were you I would watch make it or break it on abc family because you will notice that it is bad to be anorexic.
Linamae that is no way to talk to this girl! I just responded to your question and felt bad for you! You are kind of a bully! I don't want you saying mean things to this girl.
I was thinking of gaining to, so I went shopping and found cup o noodles, 1453 sodium, and in 1 week of eating only that, I gained 30 lb! Now I'm 11 and 305lb!!!! But my mom sometimes pokes my thigh, it jiggles, and gives me a sad look, I have big fat jelly rolls, and there is this boy in school who always makes fun of me, he called me fatty girl, one time I took up 3 chair so in are classroom, and called me 3 seats, and 1 time I got stuck In between the door, and said, your gonna wreck the door! Also after pe (since he had a six pack) he was very sweaty, and i wanted to embarrass him, so I said, ew! U smell gross! And he said,"That's just the smell of your unwashed jelly rolls");.i knew that I was the one that smelled, cause 1 min after running, my b**bs were sweaty, my armpins, and my tummy, and my thighs stick out a lot, in health class, the teacher held me in, and he said, I was obese, but that didn't stop me, and one day after school, the kid bead me up, a cop was him, he said HAY! WHAT R U DOING?!?!? The kid said, firing childhood obesity?/: the cop said , Carry On Then!(:. Now I'm 14 and I'm 587 lb! I love my fat, I'll always continue to gain.(:
I would recommend a higher calorie intake. This doesn’t mean you’ll gain weight; you’ll just stop losing it. And if you do gain a few pounds, that is absolutely OKAY. I understand it is so hard to realize that your body doesn’t look the same to everyone else as it does to you; but having experience, I can tell you it’s true. You see your “mistakes” all the time, but because everyone else doesn’t have time to just stare at you, they don’t notice at all. And if they do notice, to heck with em. Love yourself, girl!
