I'm assuming you've read most of the advice offered. 115 is NOT fat. Losing 15 lbs FAST when you are that close to your ideal weight (even though you think it's not) just will not happen. Skipping meals will actually gain weight. Why? Because your body will go into starvation mode and start storing everything you feed into it when you are eating, so you are defeating your purpose when you don't eat all three meals. Vomiting? Good God, child. Do you want die? Yes, I'm not Kidding. This is the start of a serious eating disorder called Bulemia -- check on Internet what it does to everything in your body, including your throat, tongue, mouth and teeth. It's not pleasant.
Stop food cravings? Try drinking 6-8 glasses of ICE water a day. Chew sugarless gum. Limit yourself to one candy bar every 2-3 days. Do regular exercise -- 45-60 minutes every day (walking is ideal and easiest to do). Diet pills are stupid and you're right, they do not work. Neither do any of those over-the-counter drugs you see on TV or read about in magazines. They're just a waste of money.
Start enjoying being 13 and start looking at your beautiful face, hair, eyes, smile, curves. Take a look at your mind (through your grades), look at your friends (what do they see in you? are you warm and helpful?). Look for the goodness in you rather than the "fat" -- your problem is dwelling on the negative and it overpowers all the positives I know you have. Look at them. ENJOY YOU! LOVE YOU!
