Fear of gaining weight?

[Anonymous]

Im 15 years old, im about 5 foot 3 inches and im scared ill gain a lot of weight. Im scared in the future ill end up being fat.
I'm really active i do basketball indoor and outdoor track and i swim during the summer.
I usually dont eat breakfast, and i skip lunch. Maybe eat a bag of Doritos and i always just say im not hungry, i ate in the morning. Is it normal to feel like if i gain weight i won't be good enough, or attractive enough, or just in general. also is skipping meals normal?

Skipping meals is not a good idea. It actually makes your body store extra fat.

Eat good food. Here are the rules :

Eat lean meat
Eat Vegetables
Eat fresh fruit
Drink water

Avoid: bread, dairy, sugar, Processed food, fast food, Doritos, chips etc

For breakfast have a banana or other fresh fruit.

For lunch have something like grilled chicken and vegetables (that was my lunch).

Your body will burn this fuel more slowly and not spike your insulin and make your body store the calories as fat.

Eat healthy and you won't really need to count calories and starve yourself.

Eat junk food and the lbs will catch up to you. Trust me.

@Asker @AidenBlue is giving good advice here, couldn't have said it better. Please stop skipping meals now while you're still thinking about it because pretty soon it becomes natural to you and you're forever concerned about your image. It's one hell of an addiction and not easy to break, I try so hard and I eat even less than you. Take his advice and eat properly, you're active and eating right will only benefit you, all the best :)

thanks coffee. The very best part of all is drink water. People consume so many empty sugar calories through drinks. Water is perfect, refreshing and zero calories.

There are studies that show even diet drinks are bad because your body still thinks its sugar and then creates insulin that changes your metabolism. Go with water or at the very least unsweetened ice tea.

d00d you're pretty damn active for a 15 year old, don't worry. you should eat breakfast though, it will keep your body in check and stabilized. don't skip any meals, that can lead to becoming fat in the future. your daily activity is fine but you're just not eating right or enough.

Dude, you're body is going to break down before you get fat. Living life with a pace-maker is no joke.

Skipping meals isn't a good idea. For one thing, you're growing. For another thing, you're doing sports. Your body needs fuel in the tank to keep you going (calories), and raw materials to maintain and help your muscles grow (nutrients). Skipping meals means you're not getting enough of these, Doritos doesn't give you nearly enough. Fresh, unprocessed food like fruit, vegetables will keep your body healthy.

You only become fat if you eat way too much, way too often. Being active and eating good stuff in good amounts and you'll be fine. I don't want to get fat either!

Please stop skipping meals that will make you sick!! Also maybe some fruit instead of Doritos! Just make sure you stay active!!! I would rather have the fit healthy girl than the skinny girl any day

Hun... how much super do you eat? If you answer this I can provide more accurate advice.

[Asker]

I usually eat like vegetables and some type of main course like half a piece of chicken or taco. About that size

[Zendrya]

Well this is not healthy. This can become anorexia and to me sounds like anorexia starting. It is really important to eat every meal. There are so many calories you need to eat each day especially where you are active.

[bubble_tea]

it's not normal. I think you have ednos. skipping 2 meals a day is not normal.

[Asker]

ednos?

[bubble_tea]

eating disorder not specified

[Asker]

What does that mean and do to you?
