so ive had a different look on my body lately, my mom tells me I'm fat and I think its just starting to get to my head. so I tried to stop eating but I'm not sure how long I will last I only weigh 110 pounds and I'm 15. I'm a gymnast and most of my weight comes from muscle and I have chub so I think that's where my insecurities come from

You are not fat. Don't listen to your mom on this occasion.

I understand, I've struggled with my self image for as long as I can remember and unfortunately our society makes just about everyone insecure about themselves. I guarantee you're not fat, and being a gymanst is awesome I'm so jealous because I'm definitely not flexible or capable of any of that stuff lol so be proud of yourself!

Body weight issues are always a touchy subject.

If you are generally a healthy eater and at a healthy weight for your body type then I wouldn't worry. You don't need the drama. Have you had a chat to your coach about the extra pressure coming from your parent? Maybe the coach can have word on your behalf?

Ummm, 110 is aeesome!!!! And you are in great shape bring s gymnast ! Does your mom not know the difference between muscle and fat? Besides why firs she say this? Is she joking? Please don't stop eating , you will shock your body and that isn't good 110 is fantastic. ! When I was 110, I looked great in everything and I'm only 5 ft tall. Have a talk with your mom and let her know what it's doing to you , please don't stop eating! Remember 3 healthy meals , fruit and healthy DNA ns , lots of water. And do not drotivd youself of a fun treat too ,keep in touch
