lovinyouzzforeva! answered Saturday July 3 2004, 9:18 pm: =o wow, use the BMi index to see for yourself how underweigt u r, thei all over the internet, but you should check into a hospital too! Mhy friend is anorexic and she faints, but also if you throw up, you get tooth decay (*ouch x10*) and your hair falls out, what's better, being a bone and skin bald girl with no teeth? or a healthy person who is still beautiful. Also, when you check into the hospital, they'll probably moniter your health a whole lot, so you should be back on weight after a while (it depends how long) Here's another reason to start eating again (or put effort into it) because if you continue to not take in food, or throw it up, the doctors stick a tube into your throat, that forces it down. OUCH, but effective, I see that you want to stop, and that's a big start already. Some people have NO willpower, and die from being anorexic. 78 pounds is unacceptable, especially since the average 5"6 girl weighs around 125 pounds! Well, I'm glad that you have accepted that you're anorexic and want to stop, and hope that you gett better really soon too! <3 Alyssa [ lovinyouzzforeva!'s advice column | Ask lovinyouzzforeva!

cowsoink answered Saturday July 3 2004, 6:40 pm: Well, everyone is the perfect wieght, but you're not right now. Your wieght before sounded great. The only reason it was so high was because you're tall, not fat. You need a counselor or you can talkto me ne time you like. I really hope this helps, im worried and i really am eager to learn how it turns out. Thanx, bye!~Chelsea~ [ cowsoink's advice column | Ask cowsoink A Question ]
Siren_Cytherea answered Saturday July 3 2004, 4:23 pm: You're feeling tired and lightheaded and your face is pale because you're malnourished. You don't have enough nutrients in your body. I know the symptoms - in 9th grade, I was really stressed and I barely ate. I wasn't anorexic, I just forgot to eat. Lol. I dropped to 100 pounds and I got headaches, fatigued and lightheaded all the time. Start eating a little more. Eat light things at first, like dry cereal, for instance. Just a little bit, and see if you can keep that down. If you can't, drink diluted apple juice or something like that. You'll at least be getting a little bit of helpful stuff.
You do need to tell someone. You're getting dangerously unhealthy. You know you need help. That's good. Talk to your mom, or your dad, and tell them what you told us. They should help you. Good luck

See a doctor, get some help!
Nothing is going to change unless you get help!
A very good movie for you is For The Love Of Nancy. I'm not really sure how to find it, but Tracey Gold is the actress that starts in it. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
