Hi Monique

Sex    Girl
Age    14 Year
Optimal Height    160 cms  Range (142 - 178 cms)
Optimal Weight    50 kg   Range (33 - 79 kg for short to tall girls)

Well according the height and weight table at http://www.medindia.net/patients/calculators/ht_wt_chartResult.asp your weight is absolutely PERFECT.

But here's what else I want to add because I was 15 when I got anorexia.  I thought I was fat, and sadly, I wouldn't listen to anyone who said I wasn't and so I landed up going on a diet which was the first of a lifetime of dieting.  It sounds to me like you're carrying what I was 'mental weight' and that what you need is a mental diet:

http://www.ditch-diets-live-light.com/anorexia-nervosa-quizz.html and take the quizz there to see if you could be on the path to anorexia.

Kind regards
