Ok or nah?

Question

Hey y'all so I'm 13 years old. I'm 4,9' and I weight 94 pounds. I think I'm fat because I have a belly and love handles. I've been working out for about 2 weeks and I see no difference. Am I just being insecure or do I really need to loose weight?

Sorry about the bad lighting

Accepted Answer

You're being insecure, and there's no reason to be; not at your age or weight
Don't worry about these things yet, your body's fine but also if you want to workout do that too just do what you feels best without taking making any drastic measures.

Answer

sweetie they are hips not love handles. I call mine love handles cuz how wide my hips are. but my pelvis hip sticks out

Answer

I’m 21 years old . And when I was your age I was obese . I’m talking 5’1 and nearly 200 pounds . I lost alot of weight over the years up until this point where I’m an adult at a healthy weigjt.
I lost so much weight by the time I was in highscchool that I was considered under weight . Let me tell you I was never happy NEVER . Not when I was skinny not when I had a nice fit body never . Why ? Because self love and acceptance is the only thing that will make you happy not losing weight or getting the body you want .
You’re very young . And the one thing I can tell you and the piece of  advice I can offer is stop seeking validation of your worth and beauty from others. It has to come from yourself . Treat yourself good and work out because you love yourself enough to be gealthy not because you hate your appearance.    
2 . Stop comparing yourself to others . Someone else’s beauty does not negate your own it doesn’t make you ugly or less worth than them . Beauty is very subjective far more than you probably know at 13 . 
Embrace yourself and who you are and love your self the world can be a really shitty  place And you need to be your own friend .  The media is always gunna put women down for some type of reason so never let that shit get to you . Over time you’re going to learn this for yourself but I hope this helped . 
When I was your age I was actually fat . Seriously fat and bullied every single day . 
So I know what I’m talking about when I say this shit .

Oh my gosh! Noooo, you're absolutely fine how you are! You're still young and growing. You're seeing "love handles" when in fact your hips just haven't "come in" yet! Trust me over the next couple of years you're going to see your body change a lot, you're a bean pole as my grandma used to put it to me. I had the same deal going on and then at some point down the line I noticed my baby fat had disappeared and I had a woman's body. 😂 lol it sneaks up on you, just enjoy being young and full of energy and when your friends give you a hard time tell them they don't need to be insecure about their bodies because life's to interesting to worry about those things. Just be healthy. ✨💕

You are ok honey everyone has a little fluff

You look beautiful, don’t think otherwise for one second! The great thing about puberty is that at your age you’re not fully done growing/losing “baby” weight. As long as you stay fit and healthy too, because those play a major factor into a better lifestyle. I was always so insecure about myself but grew out of it- literally! Just hang in there, pretty girly!

in highschool i was 5 foot tall  and 95 lbs.. was told to eat  a big Mac multiple times a day... after highschool I went up to 105-110 from on either birthcontroll or arthritis meds or both... now I just had a baby 4 weeks ago and now at 115... And honestly feel more confident about my body now then  I ever did at 95 lbs...  you look very healthy... just remember even girls in the magazine's don't even look like that.

Answer

Ok. Definitely no problem with working out but u don’t need to unless u want too. I’m also 13 going on 14 and i’m starting intermittent fasting plus going to the gym bc of all the health benefits and the fat loss. You are being insecure, but if you want to not feel like that you should start IF it’s amazing ! it’s basically a pattern of eating, when you eat, not what. I’m doing the 16/8 which means that i don’t eat from the last meal i had yesterday until 16 hours afterwards, sound like a lot but it counts when i’m sleeping ! and then i eat for eight and there it starts all over again ! u can start seeing result in 1 week!!! it’s awesome, but just know that you are absolutely beautiful! I’m 5”6 and weigh 121 pounds, have some love handles and a belly, feel insecure about myself a lot of the time but i’m getting through with it and learning to love myself ! You should also start following iskra on instagram ! she’s an absolute self loving model plus size queeeeeennn!

Answer

I see no actual fat on your body. Yes meat but isn't unhealthy to see all of your bones. you do not need to lose weight. there are probably girls in your class that look at you and want to look like you.

Answer

If you are unhappy with yourself, keep working out. If nothing else motivates you when you don't see results, think of how much energy you have when you do work out. How it makes you feel better about yourself afterwards. You are not overweight and you're still very young. Your body changes a lot as you get older. Change your diet, don't just work out. Focus on making better choices. If there are grapes sitting next to chips, pick grapes. Any fresh fruit or vegetable over anything processed will help. Cut out any drinks that aren't water. If you have a craving for pop drink flavored sparkling water or seltzer. You will see small differences at a time, not drastic ones. Fitness blender on YouTube has great home workouts that don't require any equipment 90% of the time. HIIT  (High Intensity Interval Training) is the best to aid in losing weight. Don't just do a 5 minute workout and expect results, break a sweat, workout at least half an hour. You don't have to work out every day either. Start with 3 days a week. And never eat under 1200 calories. 1200 is the least amount you can consume without hurting your body but active girls should be taking in more than that. Join a sports team, make friends, get fit with other people it's more enjoyable. A great sport for fitness is rugby, I played, I lost about 15 lbs my first year playing and have kept off most of it with fluxuations of laziness lol Good luck :)
