my daughter is wayy too skinny?!?!?!?

Question

alright so i have a 12 yr. old daughter who is going to be 13 in about a month.
she is only 5'0 or 5'1 and only 85 pounds! can yu believe that??

well she tries very hard to get fatter, dont get me wrong. she eats every drop of food i give her.....

and now these days, you know how girls want skin tight pants. well she wants just one pair, so i agreed. the only thing is, shes too skinny! i mean, sure abercrombie jeans are good for her, but they sumtimes are too short. ARE there any jeans as skinny as abercrombie's, but a little LONGER??!

thanks. also, is there anything else i can do to make her gain weight?

THANKS EVERYONE!

oh and for that one miss who said "nice lying.."

well i am 38 years old... my daughters just sometimes use my yahoo ID to ask questions!

lol jeez nice laugh though hehe

Answer 1

I have a daughter too, just like what you described. She eats and eats and never gains weight. I would not force her to eat though, she will gain weight when her body is ready for it. She is still growing and her metabolism is high. As for the jeans, I usually buy Hollister jeans and I do find Abercromie's her size as well. Just keep looking.

Answer 2

Lol my sister is the exactly same way. We call her an ox because her jeans size is 0x. She eats like a horse, but is totally skinny. You could try doing excercizes that are targeted for the hip area. That might put a little more muscle around that area. My sis shops at Aero, and gets the slimmest size jeans. Also you could see if Abercrombie carries her size in Long, which will give her the same waist but a longer leg length. Hope I was able to help.

Answer 3

My daughter was about 5-10, 120 pounds in her freshman year in high school. She ate anything she wanted and she was very active in sports. I didn't think anything was wrong, because I was 6-0, 140 pounds my freshman year and ate whatever I wanted.

At 45, I'm now 6-0 and 190 pounds. And, I still eat anything I want.

So, don't worry about it. Let her enjoy the fact that she's skinny and doesn't have to do anything about it to be that way.

If you want her to gain weight, get her lifting weights. She'll put on more muscle and gain some weight.

Answer 4

Overall I think that this is pretty Normal;
It all depends on her body frame.
If start to see her ribs easily or bones in her
back then i suggest to consult a doctor.
I checked her bmi and her score is 16.6;
it says that anything under 18.5 is underweight.

So it all depends on her frame;
And if she looks unhealthy like very pale
and showing ribs and other bones.
You should definitely bring her to a doctor

P.S and for the jean problem just get them a little bigger then get them tailored;
or just role the bottom for a cute cuff.

Answer 5

dont know about the jeans, but caltine bars make you gain weight like crazy, wrestlers use them when they want to move up a weight class.


nice lying. you're 16 and have a daughter who's 13??? YOU WERE ONE BUSY 3 YEAR OLD!!!

I read your other question.

Answer 6

Aeropastle has pants like that. You just have to get the kind that say long, instead of the regular or short.
Eating heathy food ,three times a day with snacks, and exersizing would help her gain weight but it would be muscle instead of fat.

Answer 7

Try Express jeans. Try to encourage her to enjoy the size she is, being small she can wear almost anything and look good if she is comfortable with her weight. I see small girls in jeans all the time and they look good. Try this website 15dollarstore for jeans and cute tops.

Answer 8

Answer 10
