Eating disorder
lately i haven't been eating. & when i do, it's very little, & i check the calories to make sure it's like, 100.
when i feel sickly, i binge.
so far no one has noticed.. but i want to be healthy. i just can't bring myself to eat that much.
i don't know what i should do.
if i tell my parents, they'll probably baby me & make me see a doctor & constantly check me & i don't want that/think i need that.
i'm not fat, but i'm definitely not as skinny as other girls in my grade.
i'm done growing, so i know i won't grow into my weight.
i'd like to lose 10-15 pounds.
i'm obsessed with calories. i always run on my treadmill but the exercise doesn't help.
i only see a difference when i skip meals.
i don't know what to do with myself.

Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
honey you know you need 2,000 calories to survive, right? your body burns 2,000 calories a day just on regular body functions: heart beat, breathing etc. that means you burn 2,000 calories just to exist.
now add walking to that. and running on the treadmill. and stress (you burn calories when you are stressed out), and all of your body movements.
by only eating 100 calories a day, you will get very sick in a short amount of time.
why not go on a diet? or better (and funner) yet why not do a sport? i really recomend swimming; it works all your major body muscles, it makes you tan, and its really fun. (plus it doesnt take long to learn to swim correctly and you will be loosing weight in no time) you can join a local swim team, and oh ya by the way... guy swimmers are HAWT!!!!
oh ya this is EXTREMELY important: do not deprive yourself of fat, whatever you do. you need fat to cover your neurons (nerve cells)so that they will work properly. if you dont, then you will have problems with your central nervous system.
i really trully do hope that you will consider a professional diet or a sport. it really saddens me to hear that you are damaging your body this way.
best wishes,

Sweetheart...
if you wanna lose weight, you gotta eat. Your metabolism goes into starvation mode if you don't get at least 1000 calories a day. Binging...not good. When you do that, your body holds on to EVERYTHING so that it can fight the "disease" thats making you sick.
If you want to lose 10-15 lbs, eat at least 1500 calories a day, run on the treadmill, and be happy. No purging, because stress and things like that make you heavier.

I've been doing the same things you are for a really long time. Let me tell you, it is not easy. I get really upset when I eat certain foods, but lets face it, no one is perfect. Do not freak out if you eat something that has a lot of calories. I've learned from my friends that not all calories are bad calories. Now I just try focusing on the fat calories & of course how much sodium & sugar I eat. Any exercise helps, especially running. Here are a few tips-
-Eat breakfast. It doesn't have to be a 3 course meal, but any breakfast is better than none. Try Special K or any other type of cereal you like. Fruit would also be a good option.
-Eat as much fruits & veggies as you can. They're really good for you & can substitute a lot of snacks that you really don't need.
-If you want low calorie products, try the 100 calorie packs or Special K bars. They are only 90 calories & are really good.
-Make sure you eat some meat also. If you are a vegetarian then that's a different story.
-Exercise a few times a week. It doesn't have to be really long either. Try running for 20-30 minutes & see how that goes. You have to be patient, you will not see results right away.
-Don't skip meals. I know it may be difficult to break that habit, but it really doesn't help you.
If you think you have a full eating disorder, try going for help. Just because you may be thin, does not mean you are healthy. There are a lot of girls who are bigger, but are also a lot healthier than girls who weigh only 100 lbs. Be satisfied with who you are. Every body type is different. Just because there are really thin girls in your grade doesn't mean you should look that way. As long as you exercise & eat right, you'll lose weight in a healthy way. Don't cut yourself short either. There's nothing wrong with eating sweets & junk food once in awhile. Just watch your portion control. Also, make sure you drink a lot of water. It helps hydrate your body & helps you lose weight. 4-8 bottles a day is a good amount.
-hope that helped!♥
