Am I healthy?

Question

I'm 15, 168 cm and I weigh 42 kg. So my bmi says I'm way underweight I think. I've been obsessed with eating healthy and little for 1-2 months now and my mom says I have to stop being so obsessed with what I eat, and gain weight. So I'm trying to start eating normal again, and still eat healthily. But whenever I eat a snack I feel sort of guilty, as if I've eaten too much. For example, this is what I ate today and I can't help but have a feeling I've eaten too much so far...
breakfast- oatmeal with milk
lunch- 2 pancakes with maple syrup
snack- 2 blueberry crackers (44 % whole wheat, 70 calories each)
+ 2 peaches

I have yet to eat dinner, and I'm thinking of eating some dessert as well (whole wheat blueberry oatmeal crisp with some vanilla ice cream).
I'm just so sick of feeling guilty but I can't help it. I want to eat healthy, and according to my bmi, how little i've been eating so far isn't healthy. My periods have even stopped. I need some advice.

And the though of gaining the weight makes me feel uncomfortable. Cause I've worked quite hard to get a toned stomach through losing weight + 100 sit ups a day. I don't want to lose that.

Answer 1

Hey hun,
It seems like you are becoming anorexic.
The best thing you should do right now, is go talk to your doctor. They will advise you to the next steps. You are still really young. I'm in my early 20's, and because I have a good metobilism, I'm still not picky in what I eat. I was a competative gymnast for many years, I've been around many skinny girls.
I know it's easier said than done. Eat what you enjoy, you only have a young person's body once, and try not to feel guilty. Just don't eat rerally greasy stuff, because thats diry.
All the best,
xoxo

Listen you're 15 years old. When I was 15, I could *anything* I wanted and never have to worry about gaining weight. Yes, you do need to gain weight since your periods have stopped.

I think the key problem is that you associate with super thin with beautiful, or what people think of you. It's not. Stop worrying about what people think of you, because you can't control what they think. People will always have opinions no matter what. Trying to live your life according to what people think is no way to live life because their opinions change all time.

Instead, set your own standards for beauty and live according to those. You should decide how you want to live your life, not others. People will respect you more for your independence and will. If they still judge you for how you look...well, then look for other friends.

You also have to distinguish between healthy snacks and non-healthy snacks. Healthy snacks are usually unprocessed (any kind of fruit) and don't have any artificial fat/sugar added to them - e.g. blueberries with yoghurt. Unhealthy snacks are processed and full of fat and sugar. e.g. deep fried anything, doughnuts, etc. Those are so bad for you.

Answer 3

you have signs of anorexia nervosa...obsessiveness with food and eating, exercising, periods stopping, low bmi
i'll bet you have anorexia nervosa if your bmi is less than 17, you've started getting fine hair on your body, you are competitive or a high achiever
please, see a doctor..you probably think there;s nothing wrong but at least get a professional opinion

Answer 4

Honey, you do have a problem with anorexia. It hasn't gotten bad yet, since you do recognize that it is a problem. Good for you there!

Ask your mom to get you to some form of counseling: While you're not really unhealthy now, you do have some unhealthy ideas that you need to get out.

Good luck!
