My cousin thinks she weighs too much help pls?

Question

My cousin thinks she weighs too much I mean she is only ten and I don't think she weighs much. She weighs about 42kg what do you guys think????????

thanks for your time

Answer 1

Thomas pictured left was 38kg at his last medical and his GP and school nurse said he was fine, she sounds a little overweight but i wouldn't say excessively  

Answer 2

Sorry, I work in stones and pounds.

Is she being teased at school? It might be worth trying to get to the bottom of her anxiety.

Also, check out her height/weight ratio as a rough guide. Is she in the right areas onthe chart. If so, show her and explain to her how she'll grow and develop.

Could you talk to her about puberty and changes?

Oh, bless her! I became negatively fixated on my weight at her age and it has haunted m ever since. 23 years later I am still dieting and hating myself for it.

Answer 3

I don't really know what this weight is i work in stones and pounds.  

Answer 4

I think your cousin is crazy!! 42kg (93lbs to all the other americans like me) is not a bad weight at all for a 10 year old

Answer 5

Yes, she's a chunky one!

Answer 6

That was around the time i started making myself throw up after meals, and ive never ever stopped worrying about my weight ever since. Talk to her, and help her build her self esteem. I would never wish the anguish ive gone through over my weight on anyone else.  

Answer 7

Why is your 10 year old cousin stressing over weight!
