To all the adolescents, pre-teens and teens, why?!


Question:

To all the adolescents, pre-teens and teens, why?

are you obsessed with your weight at this age? It is very dangerous and can lead to a life long stuggle with eating disorders. Consult your doctors about your weight concerns. I, as a 34 year old woman who is still battling and winning 22 years of bulimia, do not feel comfortable answering your questions about weight loss. My eating disorder started at 12 and I had the same concerns you do. Why not ask your physician? What do other adults think on this forum?


Answers:

there is alot of pressure on us to lose weight...I suffererd from anorexia last year and the year prior to that, and I am still worried about my weight, Just not to the extent that I was. I wish that when I asked about weight loss I was given a good answer besides " dont worry about it" or " your too young". If somebody would have told me to eat right and excersize, or would've given me a safe diet plan, then I wouldnt have had to resort to not eating at all. The best thing to do is to answer these questions the right way. Maybe this will help people not end up with an eating disorder, and maybe it will make some of our adolesants more fit. Stop acting like because were young we cant know what it feels like to be fat. Maybe we are overweight, you have never met us. So dont go telling people that they dont need diets when we do! It is proven that our youth is to overweight, so if someone wants to do something about it do tell them not to. So hypocritical!
