Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
OK i know what your are going through. What you need to do is go to a nutritionist. It helped me SO much!! Also start eating slowly dont just one day diside to eat 3 full meals cause its not good. By now your body is is starvation mode. It thinks there is no food around so if your not hungry alot thats why. So start out slowly and you will get hungry a little faster. I know how you feel like you dont want it to go away. I also lost alot fo weight and i was scared cause i was really close to being in danger but i liked loosing the weight. Thats why go to a nutritionist a psycologist and maybe even your docter they really help. Also my friends really helped me so maybe ask your friends for help. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!
Hope this Helps ♥

Anorexia is very dangerous, and although it helps you lose weight very quickly, it also undermines your overall physical health. Since you probably aren't getting the right vitamins and minerals from your diet, which means that your bones and muscles will start to deteriorate and weaken.
You should seek advice from your pediatrician or doctor as soon as humanly possible. Depending on how you think your parents will react, it might be best to tell them, first, but if you think they won't take it well, it might be better for them to hear it from a medical professional who has some suggestions on how to deal with it.
Don't be afraid to get help! Although it might be difficult to get up the nerve to do so, it'll be better for your long-term health.

Think about it this way. You don't want it to go away... but do you WANT to die?
I would hope the answer is no. Anorexia will kill you. If you let this go for too much longer your body will have nothing to feed off of and will...for a lack of a better term...start eating itself. Your organs will start disenegrating and you will look like an ugly skeleton and people will gag when they see you, and then you will essentially rot away and die. This is a really oversimplified way of explaining it but it's still pretty much what happens.
Your dad loves you and wants the best for you. He doesn't want you to be fat, but he doesn't want you to be doing this, either. Think not only of how you are hurting yourself, but everyone who cares about you in the process. How would you feel if your friend was wasting away because she wasn't eating? Shitty.
That said, you need to talk to him. He's there to help you. Tell him that you need therapy, and you need to see a dietician. A dietician will help you start eating well again and will show you how to maintain a healthy weight and not starve yourself.
If you feel like your dad will be ..not understanding at all or yell at you, then please just talk to an adult who seems like they'd be cool about it. They'll talk to your dad for you so that you won't have to have the pressure. Good luck.

Even though I'm not anorexic, I love learning about it and listening to other girl's stories about it. This year I've read about 3 books on it and they were all true stories. This is something you CAN stop. It is an illness, but if you want to get better, you can and you defenetlly should. You just have to realize that no one is perfect and you need to learn how to love yourself no matter what your size is. I bet you're beautiful, but if you keep doing this to yourself, you're going to take that away from yourself. You're young.. I'm guessing. You are hurting yourself in the worst possible way and you might think that you're helping yourself feel better but you're really not. If you continute it, you will end up in the hospital. Your life could be ruined and please, please don't let that happen. Teenage years are so difficult, trust me I know. There are competitions on who gets the cutest guy, who dresses better, being popular and cool but that's all part of life. It's normal to feel low once in a while. I mean everyone has their bad days, but anorexia? 3 months is a long time, and it's basiclly an addiction. You loose 5 more pounds, you're going to keep pushing yourself to loose another 5, then anoter and you will keep finding things that you need to work on. You are so constrated on looking perfect and skinny that it's your main pryority (sp). Health is very important. You have a whole future ahead of you, and this could ruin it. Yeah, it might sound dumb and crazy .. but once you get at that point you will realize how ridicoulous this is. If you really want to loose weight, there is soo many other and healthier ways. As kids, we think that nothing works and that starving ourselves and throwing it up is the right answer, it's not. I know. I've done it and it hasn't helped me but it just made me feel like crap when I didn't achive a sertain goal I wanted to by throwing everything up. It lowerd my confidence and nothing was important. Anyhow, don't let such a thing happen to you. Have fun!! Go out with friends, try new things.. and just be who you are and learn to love yourself because you will have to. I really suggest that you stop. If you can't on your own, go to a counslor. I'm not saying that in a mean way or anything, but it's really the best thing. No one will judge you, but they will want to help you and that's what you need before you get worse. Please consider it because it really makes me upset when people are like this. There is a beautiful person inside you, and you will also learn that looks aren't everything. Good luck.

Eat more. Eat more sugar. But not at the point where you can have really high blood sugar && become diabetic. If you turn out to be really desperate, try eating Kalteen Bars. You know from mean girls, those bars that make you gain weight? Well they actually do have those. But i just don`t know where..sorry.
Also, you don`t have to be anorexic to be skinny. You can still be skinny but you just have to keep in shape. You need it to go away because it can seriously be really bad for your health. Try reading these sites that concern anorexia :

What you need to do is start eating again, anorexia is not something good to have. It can cause death, and really bad depression. I think you should eat, but balance it out with excercise of course. Or you can go get help.
