    ok, you are just fine.

    yeah, guys like skinny girls, but not so skinny that their bones show. Or ag my brother puts it : "I love a girl with some meat on her bones,so when i hug her tight,I don't break her."

    My hubby says this: "I love a woman that has some meat on her,as when i make love to her, she don't break in two."

    So, there ya have it: from real men,and how they like "their women."

    I am glad u are NOT anorexic or bulimic.

    I am a recovering bulimic,and i don't look it!

    15 is the age for starting eating disorders.

    I should know,i started actively doing mine at 14.

    Ok, a hig metabolism is the culprit here,I think.

    Are u athletic?

    Do u move about alot?

    Are you ADHD?

    Are you in alot of sports?

    I ask this for the obvious reasons: sport-minded gals burn alot more calories that those that aren't.

    Is's awesome that you don't have any health issues from this.i am glad to hear that!!!

    Ok, the reason for the ADHD? I have a neighbor who is,and he walks ALLLLLLLLL the time in the complex I live in. He is ADHD and has no medication,so without that medication, he can't sit still.

    He walks.

    and he walks.

    and walks some more.

    and drives me crazy watching him walk.

    lol, just kidding.

    But ADHD kids /adults can't sit still and have to be moving allllll the time!

    Tha is why I asked.

    Are you a gymnast?

    In ballet?

    skating?

    I ask that because those type of sports HAVE to be petite in order to perform better.

    They are also rank the highest for eating disorders.

    No,i was never in any of those, but my older sis was a figure skater and I was compared to her alot and so i ended up with the eating disorder and she got the medals.

    So, if you are sporty/in a hobby that requires you to be thin, or just have a hig metabolism,then,I can see you being thin.

    Some kids, are just naturally thin. ( :-P~~~~~~~ )

    I was not blessed to be one of them.

    So, don't sweat it, kid, til it becomes a problem.

    If you feel tired,run-down,lose any more weight, then tell your mom.

    Not a counsellor, or a teacher, buy your MOM.

    Counsellors/teachers tend to make it sound far worse than it is,when they tell your mom,and by then, your mom will feel like crap that you didn't tell her first.

    Good luck!!!

    Source(s): recovering bulimic. and i'm a mom.

    You aren't that underweight. Two inches shorter and 99 pounds would be your ideal weight. I'll bet you are young and that's why you can eat whatever you want without having any problem. So, I suggest you not worry about your weight. The trick will be to keep up your activity level so you don't wake up one day having a pot belly and no muscle tone.

    You are blessed. Be happy.

    Thats happened to me! I'm 14 and play tennis. I one lost 3 pounds in one week too but its prob cuz of my exercise. I way 105 and I'm 5.4. I ate alot that week too which is y it was weird wen i checked my weight. my brother, a trainer, told me its because i only have light meals at night and exercise in the mornings and that got metabolism up...so maybe u got urs up 2???

    it does sound quite underweight...but if what you say is true about how your eating habits are it seems that even if u did want to be a larger weight it isnt a possiblity...unless all you eat is nasty greasy junkfood which we all know is a was worse solution...so i wouldnt try to lose or gain weight...especially lose because that would lead to an unhealthy life/lifestyle :)

    If you feel fine (not tired all the time, or have health issues) and you eat, theres no problem.

    You can be 5'2 100 pounds and healthy.

    But you still should put on some pounds.

    If you get nutrition and protein, you'll be fine...
