I am 14 years old, 5'6, weigh 108 pounds. This summer i've lost about 16 pounds. I was never really fat, I was in the normal range but i wasn't comfortable with my body especially my stomach. All my friends have these amazing bodies. They all have flat stomachs. I've been so jealous of them that I finally began to diet and exercise. Now I weigh 108 pounds, but I am STILL uncomfortable with my body since my stomach isn't flat. I do cardio everyday, I eat fruits and vegie's. And I just don't understand why I cant get a flat stomach even though I lost so much weight, and am now considered UNDERWEIGHT. It's just so unfair that I've worked my ass off to get a flat stomach and wear a bikini, but this summer, i haven't stepped foot into pools lakes or beaches since I am so disappointed in how I look. My friends think im going to be anorexic, because I exercise 2 hours each day, and I do cruntches, curl ups, and every thing for my abs. I just don't understand why I can't lose the belly fat! I'm thinking that I should keep losing weight until I hit 100 pounds. Why is my belly fat still there?Please.
Help.
Kandy Green - this situation sounds familiar. VERY fimaliar.
ReplyDeleteat the same age as you, i was in the same position except i was 102 pounds. i kept seeing th same fat, flabby girl in the mirror. i did 400 crunches everyday and burned 200-400 calories everyday.
i restricted my foods and calories, ate mostly vegetables, chicken and a few pieces of bread.
the scale said i was going down but i didnt see it.
you see, your developping something called annorexia. wether you beleive it or not. its a mind disease where you think your fat but your not. can happen at ANY weight.
PLEASE dont keep losing weight. you have to tell your closest friend about this (if you dont trust a guidance counsler or parent) and maybe she can help you through this.
i went to far and dropped to 102 pounds (at my lowest). i lost my period (to this day i NEVER got it back) i lost my hair, my nails were week, i still have a fear of foods, i have life changing health problems. dont drag yourself down with me.
be strong and be healthy:)
