I Want To Be Anorexic ;(
Hi.. I'm 12 years old, female.
So yesterday, I got done eating and I asked my OWN dad for some gum. Then, he said "It's all 'candy candy candy gum gum gum' with you. " That's when I just wanted to cry.
And that's not all. Kids at school call me names too. I told them and all they did was tell them to stop - they didn't!! I told them again and they said "Well they should express their facts and opinions". I told my mom and she didn't care. They can't move me to another school.
I've been counting my calories for over a year now. On the app I had, I set it for 1200 calories I eat.. I may drop it down to just 1000.
My calves are fat, my chin is fat, my butt is fat, my stomach is fat (I seriously have to suck it in), my cheeks are fat.. Pretty much it. I hate my body and I want to go anorexic. Yeah, yeah anorexia is bad for your body but it will be better for me! I'm thinking about starving myself..

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
Do you want to loose hair and teeth? Do you want to get to the point where you literally have to be tube fed in a hospital? no? Well instead of barfing/ starving yourself you should exercise and eat right instead of sitting on your ass and complaining.

Listen if you start restricting your calories when your this young, you won't grow/develop through puberty well. This means when you're 19/20 years old, you will have serious METABOLIC ISSUES and you will NOT have the body of a victoria's secret angel. If you don't eat enough you will NOT DEVELOP PROPERLY!!! Simple as that.
If you think you are fat, I would suggest adding about 200 calories to your diet AND going for a ONE HOUR JOG. Dieting won't give you lean, sexy muscles, only exercise will. If you think your stomach is fat look up "8 mins abs" on youtube.
You are young so you should NOT be restricting your diet. I am 20 years old and very fit and dieted a bit in high school. It wasn't good and I found doing cardio is the best way to get a slim sexy body (in addition to a very balanced diet...if you wanna know about dieting successfully, drop one in my inbox). I hope you take my advice and start eating healthy and exercising instead of starving yourself. I am a pre-medical colleges student majoring in Nutrition and hope you make some healthier choices.
Goodluck. Let me know what goes down.

First you have presented two problems here. Being teased at school is one of them. The other is what you believe is a weight problem.
Let me first say that I am old enough to be your grandfather. The advice I am about to offer you is in the vain of a grandfathers advice.
As for being teased at school. This is a nationwide problem that all schools now have a zero tolerance for. If you are being teased you should go to one of your teachers or the school principal and report those who are teasing you. Even if these kids tease you after school as well as in school you need to report them.
You have every right to attend school without fear. Without being teased or harassed in any way before, during or after school. If you are being teased or harassed the school system must take remedial action against those students who are teasing you or harassing you. You do not need your parents to report this.
Now as to your weight. A very good friend of mines daughter died a year or so ago because she was anorexic. Even though the doctors tried to correct this condition she had so harmed herself she could not be saved. She was a Ballerina in a major ballet dance company. This caused her to keep her weight well below what was healthy which lead to her death at an age not much older than you.
You are 12 years old and think you are overweight and fat. You may be, I can't say because I don't know you. I do know someone that can say and who can tell you what your weight should be and if you should be concerned about your weight at this time. That person would be your family doctor or pediatrician.
You are 12 probably just going into puberty. A lot of what you are calling fat may be what we call baby fat and is needed by your body to feed the hormones of puberty which will transform your body from that of a girl child into a young women. Dieting and wasting that stored fat will delay those changes.
Dieting without the knowledge of just what your weight should be based on you age, height and total body BMI is dangerous. While you may not be totally anorexic. Being 10 pounds underweight is more dangerous then being 10 pounds overweight.
Since I do not know you, but I do know how body sensitive preteens are: My advice is to ask mom to make an appointment for you with your doctor. You will need or should see your doctor before starting a diet anyway. Discuss with your doctor what your ideal weight should be. Get advice on a proper diet and exercise program. Then set up appointments with you doctor to monitor your progress. This way your doctor can make sure that while you are dieting you are not harming yourself.

No you don't want to be anorexic, and it;s not really a choice anyway, it's a mindset and a disease. Do you want to be alone and feel alone forever? Do you want to think about food for the rest of your life? Do you want to miss out on the most important things in your life? Do you want no friends? Cause this is everything you will get if you 'decide' to be anorexic. I have suffered with this disorder for 5 years. It will NEVER go away, I will NEVER be happy with myself. I am miserable every single day of my life, is that what you want? I know you want to be skinny, everyone does, but doing this is not worth it. Instead of cutting down on food, eat healthy things. Eat more fruits and vegetables and don't eat desserts as much. Everything in moderation. Start exercising, it makes you look good and it's fun! I now this is not the answer you wanted but it's the truth. Think about your future before you start doing anything drastic.

Hi,I'm just gonna be honest with you.
I was your age to,when everything started.
The self-mutilation,the eating disorder,and the depression,and everything else.
I know how you feel,and I know it's easy at all.
And two years later,I'm fourteen,and even though I'm getting better,I still struggle with it.
I used to be just like you were.I would be afraid of drinking water,because I felt it would make me fat.
But,even though I know you don't wanna hear it,I'm gonna tell you that it isn't good for you.
Sure,it may seem like it helps,which it does.But it does more harming than helping.
But please promise me something.
That you'll think about the consequences first.
And believe me,your very beautiful,even if you may not feel like it.Sometimes you just have to ignore all the hate.
Because there's a quote I love by ALbert Einstein : "Everyone's a genius,but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree it'll live it's whole life believing it's dumb."
That can apply to your situation also.
If you let people constantly judge you by your lookes,or call you things like "fat",and other things,you'lll start to believe it.
But there's a challenge that's advised to girls to try.
Stand in the mirror,and find at least ten things about yourself that you love.But you can't leave until you find ten things.
I've lost all my friends because I let my eating disorder take over.I also am not as close to my family as I used to be,because I didn't go get help.
One song,that applies is called Courage by Superchik.
Please just know that your not alone,and there's other like me who knows what your going through,and still struggling with it also.
If you ever need help,or just want to chat,inbox me,and i'll give you my e-mail.
But also remember that if you succumb to an eating disorder like I did,the eating disorder becomes more than just an illness,it becomes who you are.
Love,Jazz x.
