I am 13 years old, I weigh 149 lbs, I am 5,3. Am I overweight? And yes I know my body is “still growing”

Hi there Aspen-
I am sorry to hear you are struggling! The teen years can be tough.

We at MyNetDiary take health very seriously. We want you to feel good inside and out and that is why we do not allow anyone under the age of 18 to use the forum/site without direct supervision of a parent or guardian. Do your parents know you are using MyNetDiary and posting on this site? Here is our terms and conditions for your review: https://www.mynetdiary.com/terms.html

Yes! You are correct, your body is growing and developing and the best thing for you is to eat 3 balanced meals a day along with healthy snacks. In addition, make time every day to do something active- whether this is playing with friends, engaging in a sport or after school activity.
In addition, you may find it helpful to meet with your school counselor to talk about body image and health.
Please let me know you received this~ In good health, Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)
