I am 14 years old, 5'4'' and 100 pounds. I'm about 60% for height and 35% for weight. My BMI is 17.1, which is in the healthy range. I have not gotten my period and am expected to keep growing for another two years (approximately.) I do gymnastics for 9 hours a week and do ballet for 1 1/2 hours a week. I walk home from my bus stop, which adds up to a little over a mile per week. I am in good shape. My problem is that my parents say that I eat too much. Yes, I do eat a lot, but I do not snack excessively, I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, and also - I'm still growing, so I'm hungry!
Another issue is that my mom feels like she needs to make comments about my weight to people in public. In just this weekend alone, she has told perfect strangers at a party how much I weigh, she has told people we invited over for dinner everything I ate today and why I should eat healthier... and then continued to discuss it!
What should I do?
