Is it bad to eat like this?

[Anonymous]

So I always tend to eat very little in the morning and after noon and then binge out in the evening. And my mom ALWAYS yells at me for this. She says it's bad to binge out all at once. Secretly I think she's trying to keep me from gaining weight, but I don't think I'm fat at all in fact I think I'm skinny enough that it wouldn't even matter if I gained a little weight. and I think I'm old enough that she shouldn't be telling me what I can and cannot eat! It really pisses me off that I'm not allowed to eat a (ONE) cookie before dinner. And if I do she well yell at me to put it back and if I refuse to she'll refuse to make me dinner. (I can make it myself though obviously) it sounds like she's really trying to keep me from getting fat and this is really annoying me. I can manage my own weight and if I thought I was getting fat I would loose it. I loose weight quite easily anyway. I actually purposely gained a couple pounds too. What do you think of my weight skinny in between or fat (which I don't think I am) I'm 5'3 and weigh 118 oh and a lot of that weight is muscle. And do you think binge eating is bad?

it won't make you into a blimp overnight... but yeah, you'll gain weight

the body can't effectively metabolize food as well while you sleep... so more of it is converted to fat... or simply not digested at all

this is bad in more ways than just your weight. if your main nutrient intake is at a time that it can't be digested, then you run into problems with malnutrition (vulnerability to illness, stunted growth, less effective healing, fatigue during the day, etc)

i eat huge meals at the end of the day too... i think most people do... BUT that doesn't mean every other meal should be a light snack
... the amount should be rather balanced

in fact, more and more nutritionists are suggesting that you should have 5-6 very light meals throughout the day. since more of what you eat is used by the body--it's healthier

you're weight's fine... for now... your health is more important... and your mom isn't trying to be bossy, i;'m sure... she's just worried about you

... but then moms always tend to nag at their kids... you could be 70 years old and your mom would call you up and criticize you for something... its just how they are, hehe :)

eating copious amounts at bedtime never made me gain weight. i tend to eat a lot at night too. sounds like she's looking out for
you though.

As long as you are young and have a good metabolism, you should be fine. I eat like that too a lot, and I am thin. Actually, I made funnel cakes at midnight last night. Your fine now, but its a good idea to drop those eating habits somewhat soon.

A lot of that weight is muscle? What do you weight train? If no then you're kidding yourself, 118 at your height is heavy, I think that you probably need to look in the mirror again and loose 10-20 pounds

I've been a gymnast for years I'm definitly not fat ass hole

Dude, 118 is not heavy at all for that height. Plus, gymnysts do pack a lot of muscle. She doesn't need to 'loose' any weight. If you're going to pick on someone, at least don't do it anonymously.

If I was an ass hole I would have just called you a fatty, seeing as you took it so sensitively it's likely that you are indeed a fatty in self denial. Fatty. See how it's not nice for a random stranger to insult you for no reason little girl? Well maybe not so little...

calling some 118 lbs girl big while remaining anonymous. nice. if you have nothing to be scared about, why not own up to what you say instead of hiding behind the anonimity? many people use the anonymous fuction to act like assholes so they wouldn't be judged for whzat they say or be blocked. just... hilarious.

I don't think it's about loosing weight but more of an health issue. Eating more at night especially binge eating isn't particularly healthy. The best meal to eat most is breakfast or lunch as it gives you energy throughout the day and burns off the food you take in.

damn those mothers... my mother yells at me sometimes because i eat less than she thinks is enough for me. but in fact for me is enough

[CourtJester]

Binge eating just before you sleep is the worst. Those foods becomes stored fat with no way of it being used as energy since you're sleeping.

Honestly, I think your weight is fine. I just think the skipping 2 meals and then bingeing is unhealthy.
