if i eat alot and im 12 when will i get fat? women only!?

Question

i havent started my period so if i keep eating like that will i get fat?

Answer 1

My 13 year old daughter keeps asking that same question!! There are so many variables in what will happen, so I will give you MY history and you decide how it works: at 13, I was 4'11", and weighed 134lbs. I ate a lot, but I took dance lessons and was very active. After grade 8, that summer many things changed: I got my period, STAYED active with dancing AND swimming, met a boy, and began eating healthier (more fruits and vegetables and lean meats; less junk!!). Needless to say, I entered High School at 5'3" and 99 lbs.---no one recognized me!!! I'm now 5'6", 49, and chunky because I am not active. So, FAT is something we become if we don't eat the right foods and we aren't active (AND our hormones have a lot to do with this as well: I'm going through menopause, which messes things up just as not getting your period yet!!). Everything in moderation and you'll be fine!!

Well it depends on your metabolism, how fast your body turns fat into energy. I know people who eat like animals and don't gain a pound. You can look at your family history is see whether or not weight is a problem. How much do you consider a lot? What types of foods are you eating? Are you exercising, or doing activities that require a lot of energy? This are the types of questions you have to ask yourself to really get an answer.

Answer 3

You're still young, and have a relatively fast metabolism. This is a part of growing up. You are eating to grow. Unless you eat lots of junk food, sweets and fats, you don't really have to worry about that until you stop growing, around 18 or so.

Answer 4

well you are creating poor eating habits that in the long run will catch up to you and yes will likely cause you to become obese. The good news is if you become VERY obese you could possibly be invited onto a late night talk show and/or appear in a issue of National Enquirer.

Answer 5

Yes. You need to learn what a portion size is and not over eat.

Answer 6

youre freaking 12!!! you shouldnt be worrying about your weight, youre just a kid. you havent even reached puberty yet!!! besides, you still have growing to do. so dont worry about it for another 8 years or so.

Answer 9

Probably when your metabolism slows down. It varys from person to person.

Answer 10

You are too young to be worrying about your weight.
