Please help me out!!?

Question

Ok well im 13 years old and im 5 foot 3 and 128 pounds. My mom think im gonna crash my mutabilism. Ok i exercise about 20 min a day. And i dont eat like pizza, french fries ect and my mom keeps freaking out cuz i dont want to eat fatining foods cuz i want to lose weight. Then when she makes me eat i feel bad. So what should i do? Should i eat and gain weight or stick to my diet?

Answer 1

Don't starve yourself, make sure to eat a big, good breakfast (not eating breakfast will make it HARDER to lose weight).

Don't listen to your mom about pizza and fries. They are not good for you. You're on the right track about that stuff, especially the fries. They are loaded with trans fat. One thing though....don't try to eat a completely fat-free diet. Your body needs to have SOME fat, otherwise you won't be able to metabolize fat, and your body will try to store MORE fat.

It sounds like you have a healthy approach. More kids should try to eat healthy like you. Just don't go overboard about losing weight. Being healthy is more important than being thin. And a girl who is anorexically skinny is NOT attractive looking. A healthy girl is.

Answer 2

Just stick to a healthy living diet, add some extra exercise and it will come right off. It is good not to eat piza and fries and stuff like that, but every once in a while they are ok. If you want to lose weight dont let your mom keep you from doing so. Just dont go too far like the celebrities,ew

Answer 3

From what you have said, your mom is way off. However, I am only going on what you wrote. Here's the key - mom would even agree with me on this - everything in moderation. It's great that you exercise everyday! It's a great habit to start so young. Eating healthy is important as well. Pizza isn't great for you, we all know that. However, indulge yourself (reward) once in awhile, just don't make burgers, fries, and pizza a daily routine. Everything in Moderation - that means greasy foods, exercise, and the portion sizes you eat.

Go to McDonald's occasionally with your friends - but get a cheese burger and stick to small coke and fries. You can enjoy that - just keep the portion small and the visits to a minimum.

Best Wishes!

Answer 4

The first thing that you should consider is your nutrition. Make sure that you are eating foods that provide you with the proper nutrients. Your body needs a certain amount of fat. The main fat that you want to avoid is trans fats. When your mom makes you eat, instead of making yourself feel bad about it, make an effort to exercise longer each day. In fact, you should really exercise 30 minutes when you do exercise. Include some other activities like walking, swimming or any other physical sport.

Answer 5

You don't have to feel bad when you eat food. It is ok to have 1 or 2 pieces of pizza but have some salad for raw veggies with it. If you get hungry, have a boullion cube with some hot water, or some raw vegetables or fruit. Try to stick to food with 0 trans fat.
Try to excercise, walk around the block or ride your bike after meals.
Explain to your mom before she cooks a meal that you are trying to make healthy choices not stop eating. I'm sure she will understand, if not keep telling her until she does.
Most of all , don't crash diet or stop eating, just eat smaller portions. It's good to snack between meals, a fruit or vegetable or boullion soup. Drink lots of water.
Stick with it and good luck!

Answer 6

At 5'3 you are at a good weight. At 13, it is important to eat a healthy diet. If you are not eating three healthy meals a day, then you are not giving your body the nutrition it needs to grow. When you skip meals, you are actually more likely to gain eight because your body starts to slow down in order to conserve energy. If you are concerned about weight (which you shouldn't be at 128 lbs) then make better food choices. Do NOT eliminate meals.

Answer 7

It is very normal at your age to start having struggles with your mom about what you will and won't eat. This will probably be an issue for a while, maybe you can find ways to get through this without too much struggle between you. If you fee bad when you eat it might be about what you just ate, or it may be your struggle with food is getting out of hand. Sit down and make a plan, what you will and won't eat, and how much, and talk it over with your mom. If th two of you can't agree, maybe ask your mom to go to a dr with you to look at your plan and get a proffessional opinion on what is healthy for you.

Answer 8

Ask if she'd provide some fruits, or a few vegatables for you to snack on, in place of a full dinner each night, if YOU promise to eat a good breakfast each day. (remembering that you will burn off breakfast calories during the day), OR, do some research, and give her some actual facts supporting your belief that your metabolism is indestructable, .... - and then you can move in with whichever best (so called) friend told you that you need a diet at an age when your "metabolism" is trying to support the creation of some hips, and a set of boobs...

Answer 9

You weight is healthy for your age and height. I wouldn't suggest losing weight, unless you have fat in unwanted areas, stomach, arms, legs, etc. I don't know much about metabolisms, but excercising daily, and not eating fattening foods, your doin alright. Those foods (pizza, fries, sodas) shouldn't be eaten anyway.. All i can really say is, and you probaly already know this, eat veggies, fruits, drink water, monitor proportions.. I would stick to yoru diet, but if your weight gets too low, I'd cut back, but you seem fine.

Answer 10

Tell you Mom you want to eat healthy and mean it. Exercising is great.If you feel you need to lose a few pounds do so, but let your mom in on it. . When she sees you are being mature by eating 3 to six smalller meals and not into crash dieting , starvation or buliimia, im sure she'll help you.
