Was my growth stunted? I had an eating disorder last year for a few months and i lost all my body mass, muscle mass etc, i looked anorexic, It wasn t that i didn t eat or skipped meals, its just that i ate around 1100-1500 calories roughly a day during those months. I still ate my 3 meals but the calories didnt add up to my maintenance. I looked like i was anorexic, you could see my ribs and i looked like a skeleton almost, but when i realized it i started eating a lot, and right now i am skinny fat. I think ever since that i ve been getting less sleep lately like 6-7 hours a night (during the summer too with no school) i just wake up and i try to go back to sleep but i can t but, each time i don t feel tired at all which doesnt make sense because i only got 5-7 hours of sleep. I also don t get tired, like i have to make myself sleepy or make myself pass out to sleep. But does that little sleep also stunt my growth, they say you need atleast 9 hours of sleep specially for a teenager. Or does it depend on how much sleep you body needs, because i think id only need 6 hours because whenever i wake up i m not tired. I also went to my doctor and he said it probably stunted my growth temporarily . Is that eve possible? to stun it temporarily? But i don t think he knows what hes talking about because i only said that i didnt eat well for a bit, not as much detail as the one i gave u above.
