    Don't try to put a label on yourself. Everyone can benefit by being fit and eating in a healthy manner. If you want to feel better, start being more active. Did you know that in just 2 weeks of being more active you will start feeling better and you will find it easier to move?

    Have you talked to a parent about this? It might be a good idea to see a doctor first to make sure you are healthy. You can then start slowly by walking a little each day. You want to be sure and eat since you will be growing for several years to come, but you can cut out things like sodas and sweets. That will also make you feel better.

    I can understand not wanting to be "thin", but there are other choices. Think about striving for an average weight. You will be better off if you are healthy, and part of that is being active. You want to keep your muscles strong and use your body. If you want to talk about it, there are many of us here that could advise you. I hope you will post again.

    Have you talked to your parents, doctor, teacher? School nurse? I would say you need to. You may be on your way to an eating disorder.

    Maybe its time to visit the doctor again. Maybe get a referral to a psychologist. *hugs* good luck hon. Don't stress too much. Big or thin, your beautiful.

    Do you know what they talked about?

    Is there a reason you want to be fat? Do you enjoy not being able to participate in sports because you get tired? If so, then I have to wonder why you posted your question.

    Are you overweight? Yes. Is it healthy? No, especially since your weight is limiting what you can do.

    You don't have to choose between ultra thin and overweight. There is a middle ground. A healthy middle ground. Why not strive for that?

    Do you live in the US? If you do, even as a minor you DO have the right to see your records and KNOW what they were speaking about. It is in your patient rights, and its hanging all over your doctors walls.

    If you do not live in the US, perhaps someone with better experience with your country of origin would be better able to help you here.

    I think I'm a little overweight and want to go back to average. I don't understand why you would want to be fat though. If that's your goal and you try really hard at it, you might actually get there and that is not a good thing. If I were you I would try to eat healthier and be happy with who I am. I'm a kid just like you and I understand life can be hard growing up.
