Right now I’m 13 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall, and I weigh 145 lbs. I want to loose weight to be 120-125, as soon as possible without becoming anorexic or anything like that. I have tried like, colon cleanse and acai berry stuff but none of them seem to work. I am eating lots of fruits and vegetables, and excersising in all the spare time I have. I am hard working, and I havent watched TV in months. I also drink a lot and drink green tea every night.
I think about trying to loose weight pretty much 24/7. Now that I think about it, my horrible self image has taken control over all of my thoughts. I call my self "the chunk" all the time. I am muscular, though. Ive beeten high school boys in arm wrestling contests and my sister calls me "The manly chick" All of my friends are super slim, so I dont want themcall me "the fat one" or anything.
I don’t like my body. I cry a lot. To make myself feel better I excersise more, but then that reminds me of all the fat I have to loose. I havent gone to a doctor to get my yearly physical in years, because I am afraid of stepping on a scale in front of them and then them giving me a whole lecture about "you need to loose weight" blah blah blah.
If anyone out there reading this can help me, anything would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, yea, Im 13 so I cant like spend money because my mom doesnt drive me to stores and Im too young to have a credit card. My mom doesnt want anything put on her credit card.
Thanks!
If you’re thinking about trying to lose weight "pretty much 24/7," then you’re on your way to an eating disorder. It’s unhealthy.
If you’re afraid your friends are going to call you "the fat one," then maybe you need new friends. You don’t deserve that kind of treatment, no matter what size you are.
As long as you’re eating healthy and exercising (which you are) then you’re fine. Your weight doesn’t actually reflect on your overall health (most of the time). The numbers people REALLY need to worry about are blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugars, etc. Those are the numbers that really matter. If those are all normal, you exercise, eat well, then you’re set.
(I’m 255 lbs, and my blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. is all normal. I’m borderline vegetarian, I despise McDonald’s, I exercise almost every day, I have almost no health problems, and I feel great.)
Now, if you were, say, 400+ pounds, then it’s a different story. But since you’re only 145 lbs., and you said yourself, you’re very muscle-y (and muscle is denser than fat, so most of your weight is actually muscle, not "flab"), by what you’ve described, you’re actually VERY healthy!
Now, on a different note… who says that "fat" is an insult? It’s like saying "does this dress make me look tall." Kind of ridiculous. If being skinny was so great, then thin people would NEVER get sick. I’m 255 lbs, and you know what? I am DAMN sexy. Take THAT Jenny Craig.
