My body is used to not eating until around 4:30 -5:00...i have no idea why, but i just am not hungry (i've been like this for probably 3 years). I told my mom i do not eat b-fast or lunch, and she became really concerned. I've been working out lately to get my body in shape for the sole reasoning that there is a track camp in the summer that i need to get in shape for it because there is a ton of running.
I'm comfortable as i am (15/f..5' 7.5"...123 lbs) and do not especially want to lose any weight.
i get the feeling that my mom may think i have some sort of eating disorder which makes me really uncomfortable. (she makes wierd comments) I do eat, but not until late afternoon where i have a snack and then dinner and dessert. I have been running for an hour a day for about around 2 weeks.
What should i do to make my mom see i do not have some sort of eating disorder? thank you

If you start eating a healthy breakfast then your body will get used to it. By starving your body all day when it needs the calories most, you are depriving your brain tissue, proper functioning of your nervous system, the health of your internal organs long term, your bone mass, and on and on. Only you can make the decision to love and care for yourself in this area. Your weight sounds pretty darn low to me for your height. Only your doctor can tell you for certain. You will do better in track if you eat a healthy balanced diet and three-five times a day small meals that are going to provide nourishment for your growing body. Take care of yourself...you are the only you around. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]
