Why Am I Getting So Fat?

[dylangoff123]

I am 11 years old and about 4.7 tall. 5 weeks go i weighed 4.8 st and now i weigh a shocking 6st! my stomach sicks out so so much, but before it was completely flat! i have seen other phsycal changes in my body such as my arms and legs are rather chunky niw plus i always feel really bloated. But the weirdest part i exersise at least 2 hrs every day and eat a balanced diet. Now when i sit down I have 4/5 rolls of fat and my belly button has become really deep . about 1/3 of my index finger can fit in there when im sitting down help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is your Food 'healthy food' or a balanced diet of Chips and Pizza ??

[scorpiojo]

And why are you exercising for two hours every day?

I think you should talk to your mother about your concerns. We dont know you and cant see you so will not be able to advise you as to whether you have a problem at all, and if you do, the reason and what can be done.

I think a visit to your doctor wouldn't come amiss.

Sorry...I don't believe you.

I'm more shocked that an 11 year old is concerned about their weight!

Can only echo grasscarp, talk to your parents, and or doctor regarding your weight, which sounds normal to me anyway.

For an eleven year old you have managed to describe your concerns surprisingly comprehensively, I suggest you now take these concerns to your parents.

^ I agree. A remarkable command of language for one so young

You're not getting fat - you're growing up. According to this, you are just perfect, so stop worrying.

Growing up? Not fat? All in 5 weeks?

[Brenden]

Bells are ringing - you say you are eleven, why do I doubt you?

[naomi24]

Depends on a child's perception of 'rolls of fat', sqad.

[sandyRoe]

Gaining 20lb in 5 weeks is unusual, isn't it?

[Sqad]

LOL.

She has been on AB before under different guises and when i gave my informed diagnosis my posts were pulled.......so I am exiting this thread....

Brenden - why contribute if you have nothing to say? If you believe there is a problem, report the question.

Ahh, I see. :o)

[grasscarp]

I am sceptical about the post for many reasons Brenden, but we have to give newbies benefit of the doubt and be polite I suppose.

[naomi24]

In the circumstances, I too think she should be given the benefit of the doubt - but not because she's a newbie - she could be a child genuinely wanting reassurance.

Do we know for sure that this is a girl? Maybe puberty is kicking in?
