Should I start eating again?
I'm 14 years old and 5 foot 3 I stopped eating after volleyball season because i wasnt gonna play basketball and didnt want to get chunky! Before I stopped eating I weighed around 128 pounds and now I'm 120 I havent lost much weight so I'm not so sure I should stop.if it'd not doing anything then no harm right?because I actually feel good when I don't eat but huge when I do and somethimes I even throw up. Throughout the days of not eating I'll eat a cheese it and think that was to much and everything I eat goes through my head all day! I just don't know what to do!!!!!

Basically what your describing is the base of Anorexia nervosa/bulimia. This is a serous psychological problem and causes horrific damage to your body (even if you can not see) for example, it leads to an almost impossible chance of having children for both men and women (which may not be an issue now but I assure you one day you'll want a family) it also leads to OCD and will take over your life. If you are still able to eat, then start doing it again, don't over eat and exercise regularly and you will not have to worry about getting "chubby" but everyone needs body fat, even models, the prettiest models have enough body fat to fill the curves after all.
Don't think about eating, and don't force feed yourself, just think about the days events or any upcoming plan or what next volley ball season will be like, you'll find you will have eaten your meal without even realising. As for feeling huge when you eat that's a normal feeling, when you eat a large meal it needs time to digest and it makes people feel "fat" and need to lay down and relax, once its digested their ready to get up and go again, food is essential to survival, if you starve yourself you'll not even be able to play any sport because your body won't allow it. Look after yourself and reap the rewards :)

Hey,. I'm talking from actuall experience. I used to throw out my lunches because i wanted to be skinny.
A good way to think of our body is like a car. If a car has no gas(aka Energy) it will not run.
Like a car,. our bodies need energy to run or to be able to function properly.
I understand that you might feel Chunky after eating,. but that is perfectly normal. It is very very bad to not eat at all. Your mind set has formed you to think that eating is a bad thing that eating makes you fat. I know because i had the same mind set for years. You are beautiful no matter how you look or what you weigh.
If you don't want to look chunky during the off season you could try working out. it is not that easy but at least that way you will be healthy.
Hope this helps:)
