Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.

My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.

I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!

The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

Over-eating is a definite problem, but the bigger problem is that you are purging yourself of calories by fasting and laxatives. You have an eating disorder and need to see a medical professional for a treatment process.

You have a problem, and over eating is not the problem.

You have an eating disorder, and your thinking and obsessions around food are unhealthy and will hurt your body (far more, and far faster than being a tiny bit overweight would could ever be). It is not the food you are eating that will hurt you, it is the starvation diets and laxatives that will tax your system and make you very, very ill.

You need to speak to a parent, or a doctor or counselor to get some support to deal with your eating disorder.

Your thinking is deeply messed up right now, it really is. Get some help.

No. You need help. Go see your Dr. right away and say just what you said here. You realize you have a problem. That's a HUGE thing. Admitting it is half the battle. Now go seek help before your body can't keep up with your disorder anymore.
