ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Weight concerns

 
I’ve been on a diet for six months, and I’ve done great. I lost 20 pounds. But I’m getting dark circles under my eyes, and I think my period has stopped.

Dear Weighty Concerns,

When a heavy girl drops 20 pounds sensibly, that is terrific. When an average-weight girl loses that much, it can be life threatening. The goal is to be healthy, not super skinny. If you are dieting compulsively, it’s imperative that you eat more. Your body needs food to thrive. Dark circles and missed periods do not always point to an eating disorder, but they can be signs of anorexia. Talk to a doctor, school nurse or counselor about this right away.

MOD MOD MOD MOD- urgent please help
I have anorexia and I go to this counselor lady for it. She's really nice and all and it (the treatment) was working for a while but it stopped working. I hardly eat any more at all! But I don't what to stress out my mom by telling her that its not working.

Hey chica, it's great to hear that you're seeing a counselor.  However, it's super important to keep your mom (and your counselor) informed of your progress.  That means if something's not working, tell them it's not.  The best way to help you be your healthiest self is to make sure the adults you trust know what's going on.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD...I am 13 years old 5'5 and about 108 pounds..I play 6 different sports every year. I exercise 6 days a week, but i feel like I need to be skinnier. What is the target weight around my age and height?

 

Hey! just so ya know, girls’ bodies change  a ton during the teen years and weight gain is normal and it sounds to me like you're a very healthy gal. as long as you're healthy you don't have to worry what you're "supposed" to weigh. That being said I'm gonna direct you to our fitness page for all our info on healthy living Smile http://www.girlslife.com/category/health-and-fitness.aspx

MOD: Okay, i am DEFINATLY not overwieght, however, i want to wiegh just 5 lbs less than i do now. i don't want a wierd diet or anything, just to feel a little more self confident. i don't want an addictive diet either, the LAST thing i want is anorexia. according to a ton of health referecnces, 5lbs less would still be healthy. i just want to be healthier thats all. can you help me?? also, please post this on my profile, i do not check back here everyday.

 

Hey girl, The best way to be healthy is to not focus on a specific number.  Instead, just think about adding healthy activities to your life.  Eat a variety of nutritious foods, and fit into your schedule some physical activity you enjoy, whether it's walking, dancing, sports, work-out videos, or something else.  If you do that, you will be at a weight that's just right for your body.  xoxo
