Answer

Darling, you don't want to look at Jordan, or Victoria Beckham or any of those very thin celebrities, you need to look at yourself in the mirror. It is their job to be very thin and wear too much make-up and have their picture in magazines. At the age of 11 your job is to grow into a young woman who is fit and healthy.

You don't say how tall you are but 8 stone is well within the range for an 11-year-old girl. If you are 5'1" or taller you are bang on average or even slightly underweight. If you are shorter than this all you have to do is eat lots of fruit and veg, good protein like chicken, cheese and fish, carbohydates like potatoes (not mashed or chips), bread, rice and pasta, and try NOT to eat cakes, biscuits, sweets and other stuff like that. You will soon find that your height catches up with your weight.

Good Luck and Be Happy.
