How much weight should I lose or gain?

Question

I’m 16, around 5’3 and I weigh roughly 115lbs. 
2 years ago, I weighed 130lbs but lost 15lbs last summer in the space of 4 months due to anorexia. 
In September I stopped eating for a week and nearly passed out. I lost 3lbs and felt horrible but was satisfied with my weight loss. 
I have gained that weight back since and I’m still having trouble shedding off some Christmas weight (I gained 4lbs in a week which brought my weight back up to 119lbs). 
I really wanna be 100lbs but I also want to become more muscular which would mean I’d have to gain weight since muscle weighs more than fat.
What should I do?

Answer

You honestly dont need to lose weight. Just focus on being healthy. Eat healthy, eat until you're full and exercise. Dont focus on the scale. Just be happy with being healthy. I know it's hard, I used to focus a lot on my weight too but I'm much happier now focusing on being healthy instead of looking at a scale and starving myself.

Answer

Baby girl you are absolutely beautiful and perfect how you are x 
Please speak to someone and get a hold on this selfish illness before it takes over your teen and adult life.
Take it from a recovering bulemic. 
You don't want this to consume your life. And the earlier to catch it the easier it is to get better xx 
Social media and stuff is really hard on you young girls these days I have a 14 year old and can see it affect her too. 
Delete Instagram and make yourself happy and safe. 
Please life is too short.

Answer

If you want to be healthy eat healthy. Take multivitamins and look into protein shakes and find a workout routine that helps build muscle. You can gain healthy weight. You look a little skinny but not severely skinny

You’re freaking gorgeous, I’ve had a struggle similar to this, wanna be light but wanting muscles. Don’t focus the scales! The scale can be an after thought. I don’t know how helpful this will be but focus on what you want to LOOK like. Weight looks different on everyone’s body so someone who’s 150 could still look thin and another person who’s the same weight can look entirely different. It depends on what you want to look different, ie toning arms/legs/abs/ etc. Once you work those and you get everything to look the way you want you can look at the scale now if you want! That’s my approach to it bc it’s easy for me to get discouraged when I see those numbers. I hope that made some sense and was at least semi helpful! Regardless, I think you’re gorgeous and don’t need to change💞💕💓

Answer

Honey, neither. You look great, a good weight for your height too. If you gained any you'd be fine, losing weight wouldn't be the best idea. Wishing you the best!
