My friend doesn't have an account - this is her question thank you! :Hey guys! I am 13 years old I am 5 foot 5 inches and weigh 90 pounds. I know that this is underweight. But I eat A LOT more than all of my friends. At lunch I have like 3 sandwiches and more while they have around 1/2 a sandwich. I don't excercise on a regular basis or anything just the usual - i'm not lazy either. I am on a swim team but we are off for winter. Is this healthy/normal? Just checking...thanksmy friend is a girl lol Back to top sunshine Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 3:38 pm    Post subject: i guess if she's eating regularly and she seems healthy, she's healthy in my eyes :Dbut she should weigh atleast 120-140 Back to top Jeff Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 3:39 pm    Post subject: Your friend is not underweight at all. I've seen boys your age at 90 pounds or less. It is completely healthy, but aren't you glad that you aren't 50 pounds? Anyways, the reason why you eat mroe then other, but you weigh normally is because your body is not absorbing allt he carbohydrates. And that's not a bad thing. You can change this by eatting for vitamin C.

I did get checked for juvenile diabetes, just to make sure everything was ok. I would suggest the same thing! Some people are naturally skinny although by the time you are about 30, things change hahaha. Now I can't eat whatever i want but that's ok! I work out and walk everywhere so I don't gain too much weight!Cheers!

Just because the rest of the world is overweight doesn't mean you have to be. Back to top
