Just some quick background info, I'm a 5 foot 7 male, 19 years old, and according to my scales, I weight around 11 stone 3 (give or take a couple of pounds).
Now the logical side of me knows that this is well within "normal weight" for my height and age (maybe even edging on overweight according to BMI), but the anxious part of me still worries about not eating properly. My reasoning for this worrying is due to how I look when at a mirror.
When looking at my body, I can see my ribs slightly (more so when I breathe in), and I can't really feel much fat or padding around my chest or legs. Is this normal? I do have a rather small frame for my age, and have never been a muscly person.
Basically, I feel ill quite often, and don't have much energy. Is this all in my head? Am I Imagining these symptoms?
I apologize for the large question(s), but I really needed to get this off my chest and just ask for some advice.
I hope someone has the time to answer. Thanks in advance.
Fred.
