about

I'm 17 years old, I've been a cheerleader basically my whole life, It's a great SPORT.. I love it. I've been through so much in my life that no one really knows about. I've matured so much throughout high school it's unbelievable. I learned how important family is, in the end they'll always be there for you. I've delt with more then normal teenagers my age have. I live in a very wealthy area where most of the kids have parents who pay for everything and they don't understand the value of money. I moved when I was in third grade because my parents got divorced. From experiences i've had to deal with, I have become extremly independent and appreciative of everything I have. I joined this advice website because I was looking for advice on something, but then when I looked more into it I realized that I could give advice to people... I think i've experienced everything that people ask questions about.. and I love helping people out. I'm an extremly caring person.. and I hate drama(who doesn't?) I love to cheer, tumble, workout, be active etc... I had a boyfriend for about 3 years through high school.. 2 years older then me.. we broke up because of college. I can give great relationship advice as well as family/friends or anything else you want to know!!

5'3, 100 lbs. yeah i lost abuot 25 pounds in maybe 4- 4 1/2 months. i went to the doctor for an eating disorder and i just dont eat enough so ive been told to eat more, i lost muscle though. i do obsess over food, weight, sorta. but my blood and everything was healthy so its like i have an eating disorder mind but a healthy body. i don't want to gain fat, but i need more muscle. i am in cheerleading and i can barely do what i was able to do before. i just don't have the stregnth. i want to be able to tumble and stuff but if i eat more (healthy foods not fat foods) i dont want to just gain fat. help! what can i do for muscle, i dont have weights really, or a gym, basically a trampoline and a sedimentary bike.

eating right is very important for cheerleading... you will not gain muscle without eating right.. because your body will start breaking down the muscle because there is no fat for it to burn. Not eating is not what will help you stay skinny.. in the end it is completely worse for you.. and you won't have enough energy to play a sport. If you want to stay in shape and gain muscle and lose fat you have to have the right mindset... you need to be willing to do whatever it takes..and set goals for yourself. Eat a lot of foods with protein..peanut butter would be an example and it doesnt have the bad fat in it.. also if you like chocolate milk..that has protein. Just make sure you balance your diet, eat breakfast to start your metabolism.. have a few healthy snacks during the day.. and eat lunch and dinner... try staying away from caffiene and sweets. Once you have a healthy diet you'll feel better and have more energy.. stay active.. run around your neighborhood for 20-45 minutes.. however long you can go for.. stretch, and do ab workouts, go to youtube.com and type in ab excercises and they have videos... it's very important that you are eating though... you will not become fat.. i hope this helps you a little bit... ask me any more questions if you need help...! good luck..
