Question Posted Friday November 5 2004, 8:45 pm

Hey. this is sorta long
I'm 5'4" and I weigh 105 pounds. I wear a size 1. I'm 15. Is this normal or am I over weight or under? I've done body calculations and it says 110ish is a good weight, so I am about right.
Also, I eat what my eyes like, even if I feel completely full. When I'm bored I eat, and I have really bad eating habits. I NEVER eat breakfast, have a personal size pizza for lunch and usually reeses peanut butter cups. I get really full ans sick from eating that afterwards, but then I get hungry an hour later. I STUFF myself for dinner, eating seconds and thirds and then picking at the food. I then eat whatever whenever after that, wheter it be 2 hours later or at 1 am! I feel SOOO fat afterwards, almost like i want to throw it up. I had abs over the beggining of the summer, and now my stomach sticks out JUST alittle bit, its not detectable enough too see though. I'm not fat at all, but i feel fat, and sometimes i think i might have a beginning of an eating disorder. I dont want to get fat EVER, and i want to eat healty, so if you know any heatlhy food sites or eating smart sites tell me! ADvice would be aprieciated! thanks

You are not fat. From your description you sound rather thin. You sound like you are at a healthy weight. If you have further questions, ask your doctor the next time you go in for an appointment. I don't have any sites that I know of like that, but I can give you some advice based on personal experience. I know you have heard this so many times but you should eat breakfast. It gets your metabolism going right away and you aren't as hungry at lunch. The reason you get hungry an hour after you eat lunch is because you're eating empty carbs. They have all the fiber taken out so that it's really easy for your stomach to digest and it doesn't stay in your stomach for very long. Once in a while it's ok to eat pizza for lunch but you should incorporate some fruit or veggies that will help you stay full longer. 15 minutes before dinner, eat a salad or some carrot sticks or something. It will help you to be not so hungry at dinner. When you are done with your first helping, wait 5 minutes or so. It takes a while for your brain to register that your stomach is full. If you are still hungry after waiting, go ahead and eat a little bit more. You will probably be full at the end of a second helping. It sounds like you just need to discipline yourself. Try not to eat after dinner before you go to bed, unless it's a small snack. If you are hungry between meals, eat fruit, veggies, yogurt, or some toast. Don't go for the cookies and chocolate. If you are worried about a possible eating disorder, talk with a parent or teacher. If you can't bring yourself to talk to an adult, talk to a friend who can help you. Good luck. You can do it!
