Weight depends on hight and age and if your in the 5ft catagory you should be about 110 to 130lbs.Your 13 and I dought your fat at all.So you think you thighs are big,others think there small.And just because you have a little belly dosnt make you fat you might just be undefined.Start doing crunches if you really dont like it.But if your not eating you need to,its unhealthy to starve yourself.Yes not eating is a sighn of Anorexia.You thighs are going to be big there built of muscles its normal every girl thinks there thighs are hug is just us being insecure.For you health and your friends benifits start eating and instead of starving yourself work out.Working out gives you more energy and it will gradually show in your appearence.Its more saticfing,and your tummy growls because it needs food.There is no way to stop it,its natural.Please take my advice I only care about your safty and so do your friends.There great friends if they see your problem and offer to help they only care about you.If you have other questions please feel free to ask any time.

Hi there,

I would recommend that you consult with a doctor or nutritionist to determine what a proper weight would be for your age and height, and what a realistic calorie intake would be, based on your activity level. If your friends are this concerned, there is probably a good reason. If you are afraid of eating, and obsessively focused on losing weight, you may need some counseling to help you find a healthier way to think about your body and food. Bear in mind that the primary goal of food is to fuel the body, and a body that isn't being fueled properly won't work as well, either physically or mentally. Many schools have a nurse or counselor on staff who may be able to help you with the initial conversation about healthy weight and healthy eating habits.
