I seriously want to lose weight. There's just a couple of problems, though. I only need to lose 10-15 pounds. I am anorexic..sort of. I go two or three days without eating and then I start again. That doesn't work a lot because my parents always force me to eat or I can't go out or something. I really want to lose weight and get on a diet, but with me it's kind of "eat" or "don't eat", not "eat only this". And everyone thinks I'm already skinny, but my thighs and stomach aren't. =/
If I diet, I would like to be on weightwatchers, but I don't know how many points I need to limit myself to in order to lose weight quickly. Also, my parents don't want me dieting.
How many points should I allow myself for weightwatchers? How do I diet without anyone (and I mean anyone) else knowing? (link)

You can't properly do weightwatchers without actually joining and going to the meetings. Otherwise, you won't understand the points system and how many is best for you. You aren't really anorexic, but you do have food issues that you need to deal with. I don't know if you actually ought to loose the weight or not, but let me tell you: as long as you are skipping meals and such you never will. Your body "knows" that you are going to do that (since you have been) and is hoarding the food that you DO eat as fat, since it isn't sure when it's next meal will be. Eat everyday, serveral times a day. Small, lowfat meal are fine, with lots of fruit and vegetables. You might think you are eating more, but the weight will come off because your body will be working more normally. Then, increase you exercise to help shave off the pounds.
