underweight Options

[lovescream]

um.. yeah i think I make too much topics.
but I was just wondering, am I underweight?
I am a little over 80, 80-85 pounds.
And I'm 11. 5'1 [Does height matter? ]
Well.. just asking, but am I underweight?
Because I think I have a eating disorder =\ I dont eat or I dont finish my meal.

Hmm... you know what? I think it's okay because see, you're still 11. When I was 11 (5th grade), I was 4'7-ish I believe, and I was 58 lbs. I was pretty short lol and I was thin when I was 11. Anyway, sorry if this is personal, but have you hit puberty yet? Because if you haven't, then once you hit puberty, you'd probably gain more weight.

Yea you know what? Last year and back when I was a freshman, I didn't feel that hungry. I even lost weight because I actually was 80 pounds, when I was 14. I was about 4'11 at that time.

But it's dangerous if you don't feel the need to eat. Your body needs a certain amount of nutrients and if you're not getting enough of it, it can be dangerous.

My sister-in-law, she was dangerously underweight and she is VERY SKINNY. So she took some pills that made her become hungrier. Then she started eating alot (she could eat for 3 people lol) and now, her waist is bigger. Now she has big hips, but she's not fat, she's still far from that. She's 5'5 and 105 lbs. But before, she could've been 90 lbs! If you want to gain more weight, try asking your doctor for pills like that. But I mean, you probably shouldn't because you're still young. You shouldn't worry about it too much.
