Question
Hi There, Im Not Sure If You'll Be Able To Answer This But Its Worth A Try! Im A 13 Year Old Girl Im About 5 Foot And I Weigh 9 Stone..Im Not Fat, Im A Bit Flabby, And Im Quite Muscly..Is This A Healthy Weight To Be At For My Height And Age? Thankyou!
Hello Ellie
Yes, at 9st you are within a healthy range for your height. I have to say that you may shoot up in height, seeing as you're only thirteen years old, and your weight may remain as it is. If you have any queries about body size/shape speak to your parents as this is based on genetics.
If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Expertise
I can answer most questions in relation to anorexia, bulimia, ED-NOS, obsessive compulsive tendencies and body dysphormic issues.
Experience
I am not certified in psychology or any other related topic of under/post-graduate study. However, I have lived with a combination of eating disorders, body dysphormia, OCD and depression since the age of thirteen so I can offer understanding and advice to anyone who needs it. I am pretty knowledgeable in both the physical and emotional side effects of eating disorders having experienced them myself. I, too, have dealt with self-recovery so I can offer support/encouragement to anyone currently going through the same.
