Weight gain to weight loss to weight gain?

Question

I’m 16, going on 17 in March. I’ve always been really tall, currently 5’7-5’8. I was 125-130 when I was 13-15 but this past summer I weighed myself and was 152, which made me so sad, so from July-December I was sooo focused on losing weight. I ended up weighing 138 right on Christmas Day. Now I’m between 140-142 and I just don’t feel happy or content, if I’m being honest I want to be 125-130 again, I see myself sooo much bigger than I probably am, I always go around asking if I look like I lost weight or gained to the point where my family and friends hate me for it. I don’t eat a lot during the day because when I eat I bloat and when I bloat I look fat/big.

These are from a little while ago about 3 day apart. The first one is in the morning and the other is at night. Any thoughts? I was flexing in these photos. I only took these for my own sake and the only person who saw it was my boyfriend

Answer

You’re fine for your age and weight. At 17 you’re still going through puberty. If you’re worried about your weight drink more water for the bloating and cut out crap food

Answer

AND, remember,  you were only 13-15. You don't want to be a woman with a 13 year olds body do you? Embrace the changes that are happening! 😊

Answer

You are beautiful and I wish I had your stomach😍. Do whatever makes you happy 💘

Answer

Wish I had that stomach, you look beautiful girl

Answer

Me, my mom, and my 3 sisters all went through a phase to where we gained weight from ages 16-20. Not a lot of weight but about the same you did. It's just your body becoming more womanly. Your hips are growing and you're getting taller. Your weight will stop fluctuating soon though. Either way, dont worry about it. 125 or 152, they're both fine for your height.

Answer

Oh my. I’m 5’ 2” and 138-140lbs. It’s not my ideal weight but I’m healthy, I look good. You look amazing. I have no idea what you’re worried for whatsoever!

Answer

You’re gorgeous and definitely don’t look like you need to lose weight! To reduce bloating to FEEL better drink more water, don’t eat processed food or fast foods and eat small meals more often. I find that I bloat much more if I go too long between meals. Your age is so hard to see yourself the way you actually look. I was 105 lbs in high school (5 ft 2) and because of my body shape I though my legs were too fat. Looking back at pictures is like 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. Don’t let obsessing about your weight steal your joy.

Answer

When I was 17 I was 5'8" and I was 180lbs. And then by the time I was 19 I was 260lbs. And now at 23 I am back down to 180lbs again. I have never been under 155 and I still think for being 5'8" that 155 is a bit skinny. You are fine. You are still growing. You don't need to be 130lbs. That is almost underweight for a height of around 5'8 actually. You look fine.

Answer

You look 120 pounds

Answer

We are the same height. 
When I was your age I was an athlete and weighed around 150-160 ranging on which sports season it was. I ALWAYS thought that I was fat because my friends were shorter and weighed anywhere from 110-130. This caused very bad body dysmorphia and low body confidence that I still deal with sometimes to this day. Looking back at old pictures of myself I’m like how TF did I think I was fat?! I looked good and because my other friends were so small I just couldn’t see it in myself.
I’ve been with the same man since I was 17 and we have been friends since we were 14 he has always let me know that I am beautiful and that it’s all in my head. 
Trust us on here when we say that you are beautiful and to embrace how you look. If you are confident and you feel good then screw the number on the scale!
