Am I Too Thin?? Help!?!
Question: I am 5' 3" and just hit the 100 pound mark. I am going to be 13 in April. One of my friends recently called me anorexic at lunch, which I think is since I was eating food off of another girl's tray. I am currently eating Pringles and Gummy Worms, so I don't have an eating problem.
But, am I at a healthy weight??

According to the BMI calculator at http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calcula... you are at a healthy weight. It says that you are in the 38th percentile for your age, which is below average, but still well within the healthy range. (I had to make some assumptions since I didn't know all the specifics of your situation, but you can go there yourself and confirm it.)
I wouldn't worry too much about what others think of your weight. As long as you eat a healthy diet, you should be fine. Please note that Pringles and Gummy Worms are not exactly a healthy diet, but neither is obsessing over what you eat. It sounds like you are doing well, so congratulations and best wishes.
go to a search engine and type in BMI it stands for body mass index and you put in your age weight and height and it'll tell you if you're healthy or not.
You're fine at that weight. You're Body Mass Index is a bit low but as you continue through puberty your weight will increase due to widening of hips and larger breasts.
You should eat more healthy of course...because these are critical stages in your growth.
Don't look at the scale, and don't listen to your friends. Also, don't worry about what you eat. The key to having a healthy body is exercise... if you exercise, you build muscle. It doesn't matter what you weigh if all your weight is fat and bones.
You are probably just have a small frame. Don't worry about what other girls say she is just jealous... As long as you don't feel sick or weak or anything you are fine.
I bet that you are at a healthy weight and dont worry about what your friends say.
If you are living a healthy lifestyle, you are not anorexic! 100 pounds is light, but you probably look fine. I can't tell because i don't know what you look like.
hey im 5'4 and 93 pounds and i think im o.k so im sure you look fit adn healthy!
