I am female, 16-years-old, 163cm (5"4'), 54-58kg and I have short legs and a long torso. I haven't grown height wise since I was 13 or 14. When I was 14, I was about 57kg at one point but then I got to 65kg throughout the year for some reason.
When I was 10, my mum wanted me to gain weight because she thought I was a bit skinny. I ate a lot (2 sandwiches for lunch and 3 things for morning tea) but I didn't become much bigger at all. I think that might be why I have a large stomach. I've been a big eater for quite a few years.
When I was 15, I went on a weight loss diet and lost 12kg in about 2 months. I didn't eat a lot. Sometimes I only ate very little so that I could manage to lose at least a kilo in a week.
I have gained a bit of weight since I finished the weight loss diet. I eat pretty healthy and limit junk food but I felt like I could just eat a heck of a lot without feeling full. I eat less now. Sometimes when I'm hungry or not full but I feel that eating more wouldn't be a reasonable amount, I just let it go. For instance, I might need two big bowls of pasta/rice/cereal to feel completely satisfied, but that's too much. If I have 2 cups of cereal with milk, I feel like I could have much more but I think that would be unreasonable. I might gain weight If I eat so so much to the point that I feel sort of full (not stuffed) but that takes a lot. Even after a big or average meal it can sometimes almost feel like I've had nothing.
I am not sure what I should do. I kind of want to decrease my stomach size by eating less/spreading my meals or snacks more but it probably wouldn't make my stomach smaller. Having to eat so much or not feeling satisfied with what I have annoys me.
