Today my mommy took me to the dokters and they had me step on a scail and it said 104 and my mommy said thats how much i way but i dont really get it. the dokter said that im kind of fat but my mommy said im still growing. is fat bad? because my stomach sticks out alot more than the other kids. and my mommy bought me this really pretty dress but i tried to put it on today and it wont zip up anymore and my mommy said its because my stomach got bigger but thats ok because im growing. but its like i grow out more then up. ive been 4 foot 5 for a year and my stomach has gotten a lot bigger. last year when i went to the dokter the scail said 88. am i too fat?

KAYLEE,
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION I WOULD SAY NO. IT IS NOT BAD TO BE FAT. BUT IT IS NOT ENTIRELY GOOD EITHER. YOU SHOULDNT EAT WHEN YOUR ARE HUNGRY BUT YOU SHOULDNT STARVE YOURSELF EITHER. YOU SHOULD EAT HEALTHY THINGS LIKE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES BUT MAKE SURE THAT IS NOT THE ONLY THING YOU EAT EITHER. YOU SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF PROTEIN WHICH IS MEAT AND CHEESE AND YOU SHOULD ALSO EAT BREAD. IT IS NOT BAD TO HAVE AN OCCASIONAL TREAT BUT TRY ONCE A WEEK INSTEAD OF EVERYDAY IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING. MY DAD MIGHT DIE SOON BECAUSE HE IS REALLY OVERWEIGHT AND THAT IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. HE IS STARTING A DIET SO THAT HE CAN LIVE A LONGER HEALTHY LIFE. AT YOUR AGE I WOULDNT WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT DIETING AS GETTING PLENTY OF EXERCISE. TRY JOINING A SPORTS TEAM AT SCHOOL EVEN IF YOU ARENT GOOD AT IT JUST DO IT TO HAVE FUN. YOUR MOMMY SOUNDS LIKE SHE LOVES YOU A LOT SO FOLLOW ANY OF HER ADVICE. TALK TO HER ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL AND ASK HER IF YOU CAN JOIN A SCHOOL SPORT AND ABOUT BUYING YOU SOME HEALTHEIR FOODS. IF ANYBODY TEASES YOU AT SCHOOL ASK THEM HOW BEING CHUBBY MAKES YOU ANY WORSE OF A PERSON. THAT WILL PUZZLE THEM AND MAKE THEM THINK FOR A WHILE. DONT TAKE TO HEART ANYTHING THAT THEY SAY BECAUSE IF THEY TEASE YOU THE PROBABILITY IS THAT THEY ARE JUST DOING IT TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BETTER. TRY TO MAKE SOME GOOD RELIABLE FRIENDS AND EXERCISE A LOT BUT DONT USE WEIGHTS JUST YET CAUSE THEY WILL STUNT YOUR GROWTH. PLEASE WRITE ME BACK AND TELL ME HOW YOU ARE DOING. I WOULD LOVE TO CHAT WITH YOU! IM OUTIE!:)

Hi, I'm matt. Kaylee, if you don't want to have a big tummy anymore you should eat good foods. Ask your mummy to get you good foods like fruit and vegtables. If you like cookies and cake you have to stop eating them so much, only eat a little amount of cookies and cake. Don't listen to Kris, what he said is the wrong thing to do, when you're hungry insted of cake eat fruit, don't buy strechy pants, kaylee if you do what I said is good you will fit into your pants. You are too fat, but if you only eat good food you will be like all your friends and won't have a big tummy.

Kris how tall are you, you should not over eat unless you are planning to gain weight, which is not very healthy.
