Am i over weight?
Question:
Answers:
You are absolutely fine, even underweight a bit, unless you are 4'10'' or 4'1''. Any taller and you are waaay thin. The sooner you quit wasting time worrying about a few little vanity pounds, the happier you will be.
I think your weight is great right now, but if you want weight loss info: The only variable you can really control is exercise. Find a method exercise that you enjoy and do it every day. Build muscle. Eat what you want when you are actually hungry and stop before you are stuffed full. Try to eat a balanced diet, but don't limit yourself with a bunch or rules and diets. Diets don't work and are unhealthy in the long run. Only do things that are healthy and that you can do forever, for the rest of your life, like cutting fast food forever. 95 percent of dieters gain it all back in one year and 99 percent do in two years. Dieting is associated with weight gain over a long period of time. You need at least 1200 to 1600 calories every day just to perform basic bodily functions.
If women like you learned to love their bodies, a billion dollar industry that cashes in on insecurities and making people feel like they are not good enough would collapse. Quite frankly, being a little fat isn't as unhealthy as being thin. Anybody who thinks diets or restricting food types is a good idea is uneducated about the human body. Short cuts do not work. Most of the weight you lose is water weight. For health, eat a balanced diet and exercise for the health and endorphins and forget about an ideal shape. The average age a girl starts dieting is 8. 1/3 women are on a diet at any given time. 4/5 US women are unsatisfied with their appearance.
Your body has a set point weight that it wants to be. If you starve yourself, the body will fight back by lowering the metabolism to maintain it's ideal weight.
Limit your tv viewing. 1/4 TV commercials send out a message about attractiveness in this brainwashed society that has been seeing images of beautiful skinny women and mocking chubby people. It's worse for women: look at the number of average or uglier guys on tv and in movies versus the number of women. 30 percent of women in a study rated their ideal shape and it turned out to be 20 percent underweight. Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz meet the clinical requirements for anorexia, and so do 25% of playboy centerfolds. If the flippin mannequins became real women, they wouln't be able to menstruate. Women finally get some rights, but we limit ourselves like this and our bodies are reduced to objects we inspect and criticise. Men decide to only value women for their looks and a thin, attractive wife symbolizes social status for them. Girls call each other fat as the greatest insult they can muster. When did fat become worse than cruel, stupid, dishonest, lazy or cowardly. When did "chubby" start to mean the last four of those things?
We are killing our daughters and wasting our lives trying to meet an ideal that blows. I wish women would get together and fight it instead of letting others control us like this. Unless you are considered obese, or have a BMI of over 25, don't worry about it. Love your body and your confidence will light up the room and give other women permission to love themselves too. From your screen name, it sounds like you know you look good. Own it.
It depends on how tall you are.
how tall r u?
im so sick of hearing am i over weight with no height
Yes it's reasonable. Honestly, don't even worry about what other people think about you at that age. Just start exercising and by the time you get to high school everyone will envy you. By the way, the best way to live your life in the teenage years is to just stop caring what people your age think about you and live your life how you want.
Yes, that is a great weight. Tons of teenage girls ask the same question and it seems that all of you are worried about being overweight or anorexic. You are far from either one so do not worry. Smile :-)
yes but that depends on how tall you are. if ur like 5' or anything below that ur weight is fine but if ur anythingabove that somethin is seriously wrong. u r definately not fat. if u know u eat right and do a little exercise and ur healthy thats all that matters. who cares what everyone else thinks.
