Answer 1

You aren't at an anorexic weight, you are at a healthy weight. But this looks like it is headed south and you should eat a healthy diet and get regular exercise, I recommend 5 small meals a day with 30 minutes of cardio.

Answer 2

you need a therapist , and a nutritionist .  

Answer 3

No, you're not anorexic. YET. You need to stop giving into peer pressure and thinking that society and the people's opinions around you matter because they don't! (Unless they're POSITIVE) I'm sure you're a very pretty girl.(Unperverted-wise. I'm a 16 year old girl myself.) Also, you should try talking to your mom about how you'd like to become a bit more healthier instead of her buying all those junk foods.  

Answer 4

No you are just consious because you were overweight in the past. Just keep at a healthy weight and you will be fine. Also dont think "I am fat :-(" Instead think "I am happy healthy and going to have a wonderful life!"

Answer 5

if you have to ask that question, then yes. you may want to work on your self esteem. so what if someone makes fun of you, punch them on their face. that will show them to respect. why don't you post a picture of yourself. i'm sure your thin.

Answer 6

you are 13 dont worry about it... life will come to fast if you worry about this at all.. just work out run have fun

Answer 7

you have some type of eating disorder, a banana is not enough protein for the day, you need to eat more, and talk to your parents, so you can get help, before you end up in the hospital.

Answer 8

people dont say your 13 dont worry because obviously she is worrying she dosent want to hear that!!!!

you should see a nutritionist though

good luck!

Answer 9

300 calories a day is not enough.  You may be anorexic, you need to talk with a counselor at school.  Be honest with them about your behaviors, and get some help.  Low calorie dieting can actually make you gain weight, because your body thinks you are starving, and will store every calorie you eat as fat, so you don't die.  You have to get your body to relax its survival system.  Here's how you do it:

Don't count calories. You should be eating healthy, well-balanced meals that include lots of vegetables, whole grains, lean meat and dairy, and fruit. You should eat until you're not hungry any more, and then stop. Only eat desserts after eating a complete meal. And snack on vegetables and other healthy foods. Drink plenty of pure water, and limit soda and junk foods.  

When you start doing this, you might gain some weight at first, because you may be dehydrated.  But, after some time, your body will let go of any extra fat and your body composition will become normalized.  (Ideal body fat %, well-hydrated, good muscle and bone mass.)

You're still growing, your body needs plenty of healthy foods in order to develop properly. Your body knows what it needs, listen to it. If you feel hungry, eat. If you feel full, stop eating. Make good choices in what you eat and get some gentle exercise every day (like walking,) and your body will be healthy and attractive, and you will be the right weight for you.

Answer 10

If you are over 18 you can take stemulife.

My wife bought it and she is losing a lot of weight. I forgot where she purchased from but if you look it up on google you will find it.  

Answer 11

jeez your 13, either die from being skinny and popular or eat a donut and live.

Answer 12

you should go to a doctor so he/she tell you what it's the weight that you can have or be, but i recommend you to drink every day 8 glasses of water (water no juice or tea because those have sugar), eat your 3 meals every day but until you are satisfied not full, don't eat after the 7:30 pm and if you do drink a glass of milk and that's it, try to walk at least 30 min. and i'm sure that will help you, i lose 5 pounds in 3 weeks and i'm 22 years with one kid so you can do it. and for snacks try to eat a fruit or a granola bar something like that very small. good luck sweety, but go to a doctor first ok, bye.

Answer 13

You are overweight for your height, but your attitude is dangerous.  You need at least 1500 to 1800 calories a day to get proper nutrition in your diet.

You didn't get heavy overnight, so don't try to lose the weight overnight.  To go from 160 to 120 pounds should take you two years, not two months.

If you feel guilty about eating a banana, then you are on the road to ruin.  Talk to your doctor about what you're feeling and let her come up with a course of treatment for you.

BTW, the easiest way to lose weight quickly is not to starve yourself, but to eat frequent smaller meals that include a cup of leafy green vegetables.  If you try to starve yourself, your body starts to shut down your metabolism so that you actually end up losing weight more slowly.  Only by exercising can you convince your body to keep you metabolism high while you're dieting.

You don't need to diet to lose weight.  You need to establish healthy eating habits to maintain your health and sanity.  Once you are eating nutritiously, your body will maintain the proper weight.

Two keys:  cut out processed carbohydrates and trans-fats.  If you just take out these two instant fattens, you'll be on the way without any additional dieting.  And adding the leafy green vegetables will help you feel full even though you're eating less of what's bad for you.

Answer 14

OMG YOU NEED TO EAT

300 calories a day is not enough and it sounds like you are annorexic

You are not even fat (in fact you are average)

I wouldn't reccomend loosing more than 5-10 more pounds

You need to eat 3 meals per day, or your metabolism will slow down and you will gain more weight!

Answer 15

Your 13!
