Question

SHE EATS A NORMAL HEALTHY BALANCED DIET ALTHOUGH WORRINGLY SHE HAS LOST HALF A STONE. SHE DOES A LOT OF SPORT. SHE DOES NOT HAVE A WEIGHT ISSUE. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I WERE SAME WEIGHT AT HER AGE. HER CLOTHES SIZE ARE A 6 AND THEY ARE TOO BIG PLSE ADVISE

Answer 1

go see your doctore..well maybe there is nothing wrong with her, but thats just how she is. or she could be secretly balemic or anorexic. still you should see a doctor!

Answer 2

I wouldn't worry, if she doesn't have a weight problem, then she is fine. Everyone's weight and body is different, and the sudden weight loss could be put up to growth. We fill out, before growing up as you probably know. I'm 14 as well, quite small and don't fit into size 6 jeans and I weigh 7st. Maybe you should, just to be on the safe side, sit her down and have a chat about it.

Answer 3

I weighed 6stone 10pounds up till I became pregnant with my first child at 22. I was fit and healthy but danced a lot as well as ate a lot! My Mum was always taking me to the doctor's as a kid because she thought I was under weight but I had 2 big healthy babies and put on weight later. Don't worry.

Answer 4

If she is playing sport then she needs to eat more - simple. I wouldn't worry about the size of her clothing - she is a child and you are talking about adult women's clothing sizes - she has time to develop into them.
