Why are they so concerned with my weight?!


Question: Why are they so concerned with my weight?
Went to the doctor today, and I'm 5'8 and 112lbs.
Dr questioned me and my mom lectured and now I have to have blood tests, see a psych person, and get weighed again in 2 weeks!!

Why are they so concerned????
I really dont see a problem

Answers:

112 lbs at 5'8 is considered technically underweight, and you may have some sort of deficiency of nutrients or vitamins if you are not properly nourishing yourself. The doctors/your parents may be concerned that you have an eating disorder of some sort.
However, if you are properly nourishing your body, then let them run all the tests they want and cooperate with them. Eventually they will see that it is all for no reason and you are perfectly fine!
I had to deal with almost this exact thing when I was around 13/14 or so.

Be healthy, be safe :]



I'm 102 and 5 9''. I'm VERY skinny. You sound perfectly fine.. lol
