You are totally not fat! I am sorry that your mom called you that. I would talk to her and tell her that she hurt your feelings. I bet she would understand and say she was sorry. You seem to be very active and you are at a good weight for your height. I would eat. I know you are depressed, but eat. If you still do not want to drink some protein drinks and power bars. So you will get protein, but that still means you have to eat. If you feel very bad just write me back and I can help! Don't cry! Just ignore her. You are very beautiful the way you are. I wish you the best of luck! Hope you feel better.
p.s. Please don't starve yourself! Just eat right. God Bless! I will pray for you!

Maybe she is jealous of you, or just taking a bad mood out on her child. Either way it is horrible that she did that to you!
You are an athlete and if you stop eating properly your ability to perform in your chosen sports will really suffer.
Your mother should be proud of you not acting like a jealous child. If she is the kind of mother you can talk to you should bring it up and tell her exactly how damaging and painful her action were to you. If she isn't the kind of mother you can talk to ,let it go and if she ever so much as hints that way again tell her then, and tell her about the three days without eating. If she can be that insensitive she deserves to know that her child starved herself for three days because of it.

Well, for one thing you are not fat! Definitely don't stop eating though, because once you eat again your body will take it and it will make it into fat. If you feel that bad about your self, you can go on a little diet, but definely keep eating. That is the healthy way to go. Plus with all those sports that you play, it is probably all muscle. Don't let anyone call you fat, because you are perfect the way you are, so smile.

Please don't stop eating. Eventually your body will store more fat if you don't eat on a regular basis. I can't imagine why a mom would say that to her own child. Size 10 is NOT fat. I'm sorry she said that. I would tell her it really hurt your feelings and ask her not to make comments about your body anymore. You aren't fat. And you will have much bigger problems if you get into anorexia and bulimia (not eating or throwing up). Those can cause death.

This isn't about you - this is about your mother. She obviously doesn't feel good about herself, or she is jealous, or she just wants you to get busy and get off the computer.
I am 5'6" and weigh 155 and I look GOOD.
Pleeeeeease don't take what she said seriously. Go eat something or you WILL create problems for yourself. Your mother is insensitive.

Don't stop eating because your mom was hurtful! You will only make yourself unhealthy!
Ask her why she said that, tell her it hurts and that you are not fat.
Sounds like you are very active, keep up the good work!
I like gjk's answer !

It doesn't sound like you need to lose weight. Your mother sounds like she has weight issues. If you feel good about yourself that what matters. It sounds like your active in sports so don't worry.Just eat healthy and you should be fine. Don' t make yourself sick.

Tell your mom it's all her fault and insist she begin preparing special meals for you--bet she suddenly decides you look just fine...
