Does weight cutting mess up metabolism permanently? in wrestling i would sometimes lose 2-3 pounds in a day then gain it afterwords.

You'll be okay: It's unhealthy, but it won't ruin your health permanently as someone may have told you. I hope your days of doing this in the sport are over. Being a teen trying to learn toward a career is rough enough without having to do this -- yet sports build wonderful memories and self-discipline. Cherish your experience of this rich area of life.
