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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How odd, Dylan Goff has not responded but has given Sqad - who says I dont believe you - Best Answer.

Must have been a really good Christmas.

Of course if one sits down one's stomach rolls up, how else could it find room to exist ? You need to stop obsessing and accept you are fine and learn to love yourself just the way you are.

Oh and get yourself some consistent scales if you insist on weighing yourself all the time.

Im a dude for god sake! not a girl

OK. You're a dude - so I guess you are other side of Atlantic to most of us. If you are have concerns about your weight, you are still a child and need to talk to your mom.

No age limit as far as I have ever known trt.

Dylan, I am not a fan of charts and such but your weight and height for your age is spot on - puberty does lead to a lot of changes and distribution of body fat is often one.

Normal healthy diet and regular but not extreme exercise and as others have said, speak to your parents if you are worried.

I don't know what kind of exercise you are doing,but too much at your age can actually be harmful. Your body has a lot of growing to do and high intensity exercise can be bad for your developing muscles/bones.

Ed has already contributed his side to the doubters and I won't add to that but I am surprised no one has met an articulate 11 year old. My 10 year old Grandson would floor you if that is the case.


I treat all posters as genuine or say nothing.

[pastafreak]

As I understand it,some Brits do say 'mom'... Its a regional thing.

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

Reading those responses, I have something to say. Sorry I spoke.
