Question

I’m 11 and weigh 142 should I be worried. My doctor says I’m completely fine but I feel like I’m too fat for my age. I mean some kids are WAY fatter than me but I still want to lose weight. I wish I could fit in my best friends clothing. She is 12 and wears a large in kids for Under Armour sweatshirts. I’m a medium to large in Under Armour I’m women’s. I feel fat. What are some good ways to lose weight???

Answer

Sweetie, it depends on how old you are. I am 13, 5’ 4” and 109 pounds. If you are taller than me then you should not worry. Shorter... maybe start eating healthier? If you have a muscular body, that means muscle weights more that fat. If you are not happy with yourself and have a reason not to be, i suggest working out, eating healthy, and staying away from CARBS and FAT. That means PASTA, BREADS, MACARONI AND CHEESE, POP, AND CHIPS. Don’t forget candy. Treat yourself once in a while to motivate yourself. Pilates is a good choice. Don’t starve yourself. Please. It’s very unhealthy and you get very depressed. Making your self throw up isn’t good either. Consider everything I have said and I hope you chose wisely! Have a good day 😊😊😊

Answer

Eat when you're hungry, not when you're bored. That's my motto.

Answer

I am 15 and weigh 145. I thought I was overweight even though my doctor said I was fine. I feel like the difference in weight might be because of bone structure or height. I am 5’7 and would consider myself to be thick boned. My mom always says that I need to eat more, cause although I weigh 140 , I still look scrawny. Just love your body for what it is. And keep working towards a better you ❤️

Ahh you’re only 11!! You are wonderful just the way you are. I take it you’re in middle school now and honestly, middle school was the worst. You’re going through puberty and your body is going through lots of changes. I guarantee you every girl is uncomfortable with her body just in general at your age. My weight in middle school was up and down and up and down all of the time. I’m 23 and my body is still changing!
My mom has eating disorders and my boyfriend is recovering from them. Starving yourself/binging & purging is no good!!! It is really dangerous and you could die from hurting yourself like that. There are many many many other healthy things you can do! 
Here are some times from a pro (me, aka puberty and middle school survivor)
1) Find friends who are body positive! Don’t subject yourself to negative self talk and try not to talk bad about yourself. Instead of saying “these shorts make my thighs loom big” you can think “these shorts are super comfortable and helped me run my best mile today!”
2) Make small changes. Eat one more vegetable every day. Eat one less sugary thing a day. Find an activity you love (whether it’s a book club, yoga, or volunteering)! It will help you focus your energy on something positive and you’ll gain skills and friends in the process.
3) If you find yourself being bullied (as I was in primary school), literally just screw the haters and ignore them. I spent way too much time thinking about what other people thought of me when the opinion that mattered most was my own.
4) As an 11 year old you may be too young, but as an adult I take group fitness classes and that helps me keep my exercise regiment in check. Being a part of a sports team does the same!
I hope my words of wisdom were able to help in some way... I just wish someone told me all of this when I was 11! We at Eve are here for you! ❤️
