Am I fat?

Question

Hi😁 I'm 14 210 5'8, everyone says i look fine and normal but I know I'm overweight (I should say I exercise pretty good but could be better). My main concern is that I have wide hips and a bit of tummy fat, but today someone said I could not weight more than 140😮 needless to say I looked at them like they were crazy and said what I weight and they didn't believe me lol. So what are your opinions?

Answer

As long as you know your weight isn't causing you any harm your are fine :) - a BMI calculator may tell you if u are within a healthy weight range. BUT I REALLY WANT TO STRESS THAT YOU ARE ONLY 14! During early teen years weight changes are definitely a thing. Trust me. Metabolism may kick in later, body weight distribution changes - you know the whole puberty business. What's most important now is that you try maintain moderate exercise, sleep well, socialise healthily and maintain good eating habits such as eating breakfast, not too much sugar and not eating too late. You're freakin 5'8 and in your mid teens! You can still grow. Don't worry I know it's hard but your body will develop further so just try to maintain overall health habits. I used to have body image issues being slightly over I why in 7th grade and the amount of stress I put myself through with diets, working out and self hatt really impacted me mentally and physically (literally didn't grow 😪). So just try to appreciate and love yourself - and yes, if u feel like your weight is making you feel fatigued then yes, it's ok to try to be healthy because that's apart of self care. Sounds like I'm rambling but I want to stress that when you try to change yourself, do it in the name of respecting yourself not because of others.

Depends how you carry your weight; a healthy waistline for women is between about 23” and 33” inches.
