You don't need diet suggestions, you need someone to talk to. On the surface you think your obsession with your wait is about wanting to look good, but women who struggle with anorexia are usually struggling with control issues. Many anorexic girls come from families that are broken (divorce) or super-strict. In either case, they've been in an environment where what happens around them is beyond their control. The only part of their lives they have control over is their own bodies. As others would turn to drugs, the anorexic turns to (or rather, away from) food as a means to control something in her life. Is there anyone you can talk to about this? School counsellor, pastor or religious leader, community services? You need help with this. Its not just about your weight, its more than that, and if you think its only about you wanting to be skinny then you are headed down a very dangerous path you may never come back from. Get help immediately. Once you've dealt with the root causes for your obsession the weight issue will take care of itself. Good Luck.

Try to eat several healthy meals a day... ones that are low in calories and bad carbs. If you only eat once or twice a day, your metabolism will slow down and make it easier to gain weight. Try fruits or raw veggies for snacks, a salad with fat free dressing or cereal with no added sugar for lunch, chicken or lean meats for dinner. Just stay away from sweets and too much bread or starch (like potatoes or pasta) and you'll be fine. You can find alot of great healthy meal plans online too.
