i cant stop?

Question

i cant stop eating im not fat im 12 and weigh 112 pounds but i eat all the time ill wake up in the middle of the night and just start eating!!! is there something wrong with me

Answer 1

its all to do with your age and your raging hormones...your certainly not over weight and you say you are not putting on weight so i cant really see a problem

Answer 2

There's nothing wrong wit u. If u think ur fat I suggest doin som'n fun that involves excersice(don't kno how 2 spell dat word) and look at the nutrition labels on what you eat. Don't eat more than they say u should. And about the waking up in the middle of the night... that's normal. I do that too and im only 98lbs at 12 yrs.

Answer 3

It is possible you are becoming a diabetic or you may be hypothyroid. Waking up to eat in the middle of the night is not normal - not even for someone at your age.

Do you think you might be depressed? Are you anxious or worried about something? Are you stressed? Is there a possibility that you are pregnant?

You may not be gaining weight now, but eventually your overeating will catchup with you. Tell your mother of your concerns and ask for a doctor's appointment.

Answer 4

Your 12, your at the age to hit puberty. Geez. I remember durring puberty weighing 115 and eating 7 tacos and I was STILL hungry! Your growing and your body needs the energy to do it. Just try to make the snacks healthy and you should be fine. Limit the amount of candy and processed sugars you take in. If you were 25 or older I'd be questioning what's wrong.

Answer 5

You're right about the age for all that stuff to happen. Your body is changing, growing, and needs more energy to keep up.

Thats why you are hungry. The important part is to make sure you are not eating junk, because though it may not be so bad for you at the moment, it will start bad habit, and when your body slows down, your eating habits wont, and then you will have a problem.

If you are hungry, eat. Just eat things that are good for you, and you'll be fine.

Answer 6

try drinking alot of fluids, and when you eat eat good stuff not crap, there will be a balance. you might be in need of a mineral or somthing . I wish I were 112 again, im almost 200 pounds .

Answer 7

There are some health problems that one of the symptoms is uncontrollable hunger, if you are not gaining weight, and need to eat, then see a doctor, he will be able to do some tests to see what the problem is

Answer 8

I am sorry to tell you, but if you are age 12 and 112lbs. unless you are 6' or more you are overweight.
I have heard of that condition though, you probably need to see a psychologist, or a doctor. If you don't get help soon you will become obese

Answer 9

there mite be if ur making up in the middle of the nite for food. if u dont eat dinner like me nd eat at like 8 then its normal but ur waking up at midnite. try taking those medicine pills where they help u sleep

Answer 10

You are growing and your body needs more nutrition, but you have a right to be concerned. Please talk this over with your parents or an adult you can trust. There sounds like there may be some emotional issues going on in your life right now. You may be looking for nurturing and replacing it with food.

Answer 11

you have a very high metabolism. my brother was the same way. he spent more time eating than much of anything else, and rarely ever weighed more than 120.
