Im 17 years old. This previous summer, I ran in a crosscountry camp at my school and I went from a healthy weight of 103 pounds(I'm 5^1) to 90 pounds. I know that this is not a healthy weight for me to be at. Alot of problems started after that. I lost my period and fractured my foot, so my parents made me quit so that I could recover. Since then I have gotten my period and gained 3 pounds but cannot quite gain anymore than that. Track is starting soon and I want to start to run again, but the only problem is, my parents will not let me because they think that I am still too light and that I will break more of my bones. Like I've said before, I haven't been able to gain anymore weight. They don't understand because they think that what I eat isn't enough(they are overweight themselves). I am not anorexic or bulimic, and I refuse to deprive myself of food. I need some help trying to convince them to let me run. If anyone has had a situation similar to this, please tell me what you did.
