Bad

today my coach told me i no longer could have a coveted small uniform because i had gained weight over the summer...mind you i still fit perfectly into the small uniform but since i wasnt as small as i used to be i no longer get the small uniform

ugh....coaches arent supposed to tell you that you weigh too much when you dont


i only weigh like 119 and i am like 5'7''-5'8'' and most of it is muscle

I'm 5'8", 130, and well within the acceptable range for my height. That would make you on the low end of things, if not underweight. With the number of calories you say you are eating, I would be seriously concerned for my health, if I were you.

Not trying to heckle you, just a word of caution. I got all the way down to 105 before my coach knocked some sense into me. It's a great way to end your world, running-wise.

Edit: Your coach is being a jackass, by the way. Don't let him/her tell you what you should weigh. If anything, he/she should be concerned for you, not being obnoxious about it. Also, I'm softening up my reply a little, because it sounds like you already know that

I think the reason u can wear small anymore is because ur body is growing (if u knoiw what i mean).Your coach just wants to keep all the boys from going crazy

I'm guessing you don't eat a very big breakfast at 1300 calories a day. If you ate a breakfast that pushed you into 2000 for the day it would start your metabolism and you might actually lose weight.

perhaps there is a limited number of small uniforms and there are a lot of girls on the team who are smaller than you, so even though you fit into a small they need them for other people. personally I had to get large warmups despite being 5'8" and 125 at the heaviest.....so they're not necessarily trying to diss you, just saving smalls for those who realllly need them because naturally on a girls' team nearly everyone considers herself small

i agree with that--we have the same problem on our team. plus our guys like to wear the girls smalls because the shorts are shorter haha.

No, I do not know what you mean. Please elaborate.

i lawled.

grossssss.

My team has a huge uniform shortage for Cross, then a huge surplus for Track.

It is lolworthy seeing people fight over uniforms during Cross (I stole a set freshman year and don't need to worry about it)

5'8" is definitely not small for a girl. your not overweight just tall. stop being a bitch about it and wear a medium. or be a slut and wear a small that rides up your ass and makes you look like a retard.

its your choice

It's funny when he isn't making fun of me >.<

1300 calories a day?? Why would you intentionally malnourish yourself...I burned 1900 today on one run.

i wouldnt worry about it...5'8 is def not a small, unless your uniforms are huge like mine. i wear an extra small and im 5'5 lol.

And 5'8'' for a girl isn't small, I'm 5'8'' and I wear medium. Imagine how much shorter my shorts would by if they were smalls (see avatar).

And we're getting new uniforms just for XC this year.

I got the last pair of uniform shorts on the team and they were huge.
I just made do with what I had and it worked pretty well.
Whatever you get, it's just a pair of shorts. And at your age, it'd be normal not to gain weight.

~I did that too! We used the same uniforms that during Track that we did during XC & there is always a shortage on smalls so I just kept mine. Coach found out at the end of Track & asked for me to return them before I could get my awards. I turned them in but he doesn't know that I took 2 sets figuring he would have me do that.
~We have a big problem with not having enough smalls for everyone on our team. There are some girls that used to be really tiny but over the past 2 years they grew a bit & gained some much needed weight...it annoys me now because I'm the same size as them if not smaller and they think they have more of a right to have the smaller uniforms or shirts than I do. Errg! Oh well you just have to deal with it.

hahahha nice!

thats very bitchy of your coach. my coach would do the same thing... im 5'9.5"/low 130s and when i reach for a medium he goes "excuse me, you need a large or xl". i just roll my eyes and take a smaller size when he turns around. male coaches are just insensitive/clueless about these things

+1, that might be the problem.
