rikatree2375 answered Sunday July 31 2005, 9:01 pm:
Yeah it's normal. It all depends on your metabolism. If you have a high metabolism then your body is going to burn more fats and stuff. Which sounds like her. But that isn't the case with everybody (some of us arent so lucky..lol). But yeah, it's normal for HER.

As long as she's eating often and well, there's really nothing to worrie about. Some people simply DO have a high metabolism. And others, simply WISH they did. =]

ncblondie answered Saturday July 30 2005, 2:30 pm:
It's possible that she simply has a high metabolism. I also have a friend that eats pretty much 24/7 whatever she wants but never gains an ounce.

Another option is that she has an eating disorder that you're not aware of. Does she have any of the signs? I'll list a few so you can judge for yourself.

-Eating unusually large amounts of food without a change in weight.
-Frequent trips to bathroom after meals, signs/smell of vomit, evidence of laxatives or diuretics.
-Excessive, rigid exercise regimen.
-Unusual swelling of jaw and cheeks.
-Discoloration or deterioration of teeth.
-Stomach pain
-Tiredness
-Severe self-criticism

If she is showing these other signs, please talk to her about her eating habits. If she won't listen, go to her parents. It may save her life.

Nothing to worry about at all hun, it's totally normal. She probably just has a fast metabolism. So when she eats, she doesn't gain weight. It just depends on your body type, everyone is different. But don't worry, she's fine.

beb0013 answered Saturday July 30 2005, 11:41 am:
yes i believe this is normal and the reason she only weighs 70lbs may be because she burns a lot more calories in a day from maybe doing sports or just from getting a lot of exercise. i weigh 102 myself and im 13 and i eat a lot but i also try to keep myself busy so i swim and run a lot and that is why we dont weigh as much as maybe a normal 12 and 13 year old. hope i helped :]

xogiggles37xo answered Saturday July 30 2005, 11:10 am:
if shes telling u it impossible for her to gain weight that isnt normal but there are some people that can eat like a pig and not really get fat especially at that age.. you start to look like the food you eat when you get older.

xoMarisox answered Saturday July 30 2005, 11:08 am:
Yes its normal... I weighed that much then too. It may be becasue shes athletic or likes to excercise.. if you think she does have an eating disorder.. talk to her about it. If shes a true freind she'll understand that your just caring for her!

Karen answered Saturday July 30 2005, 11:08 am:
Yes, it's normal. Your friend just has a very fast metabolism. If she is eating, then she's fine and her metabolism will eventually slow down. Everyone's body is different.
