Am i fat? cuz i think i really am?!
Question:
Am i fat? cuz i think i really am?
i'm 14 years old and i weigh somewhere between 100 and 106, my friends all tell me that i'm not fat, but i still think i am. some jerks at school call me fat sometimes, that might have something to do with it. ive checked my bmi and i'm 20.5, which is in the average zone. but i have a belly, and i hate it!! i hardly eat at all, like, sometimes one meal a day, and i swim, run and do kickboxing. nothing i do ever loses weight but i have horrble self esteem. if you told me to name 3 things i like about myself i couldnt do it. so i guess my question is, how do i lose a belly? lol, i mean, i know that sounds dumb, but i'm so tired of hating myself and thinking that everyones better than me cuz theyre so skiny. thanks<3
Answers:
listen to me now! Eat some more food. When you only eat one meal a day the body thinks that it's famine time so metabolism slows down and more calories get stored as fat. Eating seven or eight small meals a day kicks up your metabolism and body will burn more because each meal will not be stored as fat for future famine possibilities. Eat more small healthy choices. Weight train, cardio and listen to your friends, you're not fat just starving yourself and thinking that'll get rid of the gut instead you're helping the gut hang in there........
don't hate yourself either, you're only 14, let puberty, hormones and time kick in, eat right and exercise, you'll feel better and look better
