I'm a teenage girl, and I'm pretty active I guess because I work out a lot (but when i'm not exercising i'm just sitting) and I'm a ballerina and I take other dance classes, and i'm amazingly careful about what/how much I eat and I examine every calorie I consume.
I eat between 1200-1700 cals per day (but usually around 1350, 1700 would be unusual) but everyone else my age goes way above that, and they don't watch what they eat and they don't even KNOW what calories are! And they are sticks.
I'm about 20 pounds overweight, but I used to be obese (like 45 over) and recently I didn't watch what I ate for 4 days- just 4 DAYS and I gained 5 pounds.
My anorexic friend and I were at the beach together (she doesn't even work out) and I just ate what I wanted, but she was eating more than I was, and she didn't gain anything.
Why is it that I'm the only person in the world who has to be extremely careful about calories/what i eat???
and why am i fat? Is it just that I have a crappy metabolism that only burns like 1 calorie per day? I even drink green tea which is supposed to boost it! (link)

Please read this reply and do not jump defensive I am sure that you are a healthy young lady and not overweight If you start obsessing over weight it will become just that AN OBSCESSION and that can be bad. everyones body is different we all have different metabolisms and burn calories different that is why people come in all shapes and sizes. Please just have fun and eat. We do not all have to look like Barbie Dolls and who says that is the proper weight as you get older you will see just that. If you feel you are overweight and must lose a couple pounds do it the healthy way a little excercise dont overdo it, cutting back on sweets or cold drinks but dont deprive yourself completely, instead of sweets have some fruit , grapefruit is good too. Good Luck stay healthy and let me know if this helps
