im kinda wonder about mikeys question but for a different reason. i am really concerend about my weight. i am 16, i eat like a pig. put somethig on my plate and if im hungry i will gobble it up (im always hungry) but anyway im 16 years old and i only weigh like 120 lbs, and im about 5'5ft.
i will eat anything.. i eat all day everyday and i never gain any weight, and if i go a day w/o eating my body totaly shuts down. if i dont eat anything and the next day i wake up, i can tell that i didnt eat because i can see my hip bones when i look down, and then if i stuff my face, and i look down, all i see is a round belly. it kinda scary. sorry for posting off topic, but im jes worried about whats going to happen to as i get older.. am i going to turn out to be a skinny little bastard? or am i gona wake up one day with a gut that i cant get rid of? also i duno if any onf you can see your veins in your arms.. but i get comments all the time from ppl telling me how gross it looks. i duno if thats a sign telling me that im not healthy, i need a new diet, or im jes not getting the right nutrients. anyone? anyone?
As you get older, your metabolism slows down. Right now, you're probably burning more calories than you eat which is why you don't gain weight and feel bad if you don't eat. I was the same way when I was younger. Now that I'm 28, I have to watch what I eat and when I eat.
