Answer 1

NO! Don't eat yourself sick and don't eat junk. Eat healthy and stop worrying about it!

Answer 2

Not eating slows your metabolism. You should actually eat more frequently (every 3-4 hours). If you're worried about your weight (not that it sounds like you need to), eat mostly fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and dairy. Your parents should be able to help you plan this out so you can make it work for you.

You also need to keep in mind that super skinny isn't really attractive. They did a poll where they asked who had the best legs. Most women answered Victoria Beckham (super skinny), while most men answered Jennifer Anniston (healthy weight).

Answer 3

Please don't stop eating. In order to be healthy you must eat. I know it is frustrating gaining weight but believe it or not you will have growing spurts and you will thin out. If you are unsatisfied with your weight try exercising and eating healthy food. You really need to talk to a specialist so you don't become anorexic.If you can't talk to your parents try going to your guidance counsellor. You need good information. Please try talking to a professional, I would be really sad if anything happened to you. You are so young and this is an issue you need help with. Good Luck sweetie. Feel free to come back and talk again. There is always someone here with encouragement for you. Listen to the positive, not the negitive ok!

Answer 4

NO you should not stop eating. You sound perfectly normal! You may be growing faster than the rest of your friends are but but your weight compared to your height is perfectly normal. So just keep eating healthy and stay active. You should NOT be worrying about being over weight or not being skinny enough.

Answer 5

Not eating wont do you any good.
if you want to lose weight, just be active. Walk around a little more than usual, even if it's just walking around the house, maybe ride a bike. Just be more active than usual.
And eat 5 small meals a day. trust me. Eat your regular 3 meals a day and in between meals, have a little snack.
Just keep portions small and you should have a nice, healthy body.


good luck
:)
