Question: Am i an okay weight!?!?
i am14 years old

and i weigh 7 st 6
i have a healthy appetite i think!?! but i have previously been asked if i am anorexic which i find offensive and upsetting!

Answers:
at 14 you're probably the right weight- your metabolism will be in hyperdrive till you're about 24 ish (maybe younger) as you're still growing, so as long as you know you're eating a healthy diet (and that means having all your lovely calories) ignore what other people say - you'll be burning it off faster than you can eat right now !.!.!. oh to be 14 again and eat chocolate all day without it settling on my bum :) People put a lot of stock in BMI !.!.!. I went from a size 16 to a size 10 last year, mainly through exercise and a food intolerance (was allergic to dairy) and my bmi when i finished was actually higher than when i started due to my extra muscle mass, so while yours might say you're underweight you know if you're eating enough food- (think you should be having 1800 cals a day!? maybe more!?) stick to that, keep the right amount of healthy fat in your dietWww@Answer-Health@Com
I live in the US so I dunno what the pounds translation of your weight is!. But if people are asking if you're anorexic, and you're not, then you don't have anything to worry about!. I've always been thin and sometimes I feel like I'm supposed to apologize or explain why I'm small!. But you shouldn't have to make any explanations!. Someone asking if you're anorexic is extremely rude!. Just tell them you're healthy!. And, the fact that you're 14 and 5'6" probably has something to do with being skinny now!. When you're a teenager and you start getting taller, you'll grow up and not out for a while!. In a couple years you will most likely fill out a little!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
To be completely honest, if you are doing this because you think you are unattractive, us guys don't care about your body that much!. It's all about the face!. You can be as out of shape as you want!. If you have a cute face, guys will be all over you!. Try asking one of your guy friends if they honestly think you are pretty, or even post a pic here on Yahoo! Answers and ask us to rate you 1-10!. Or if you don't feel too uncomfortable doing so, you can send a pic to my email and I'll give you an honest opinion!. (I am 15)
Also - If you are still concerned about your body, keep in mind that we like some meat on our girls!. I think girls that are too skinny are unattractive!. As long as you aren't too overweight, having some extra fat is definitely a good thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
