Question Posted Tuesday November 25 2014, 11:12 pm
Hi. I'm a 14 year old female, and I weigh 110 pounds. I think I'm somewhere between 5'2 and 5'5.
I was overweight as a kid and was bullied for it. Therefore, I started counting calories in 6th grade and dropped pounds drastically. That was in December 2011, and I still do it. I just think I'm so fat. I have a huge stomach, I literally look 6 months pregnant. Adults say I have a disorted self image, but I just feel bigger than everyone else.
Anyway, I make sure I don't go over 1,000 calories a day. I know there's health risks and all that, but I just can't stop. I don't want to, honestly.
I recently have been eating too much. I eat about 800-900 calories a day, and I hate myself for that. I eat at 9AM, then 12PM, then maybe 3PM, then maybe 5 or 6PM. I eat too frequently I think because I eat small things at a time. But I eat when I'm bored or not hungry. How can I stop this? I don't want to get any bigger. It's like I countdown to binge on food. I just... I don't want to eat a lot like that.

I'm not a doctor though if I was I would say you have developed the disorder called anorexia. You are at 11o pounds just about the right weight for your height depending on your frame size. If you have a belly it is because of weak abdominal muscles or is it possible you are pregnant. Your belly is not because you are over weight.
I suggest you see a doctor. If I am correct and you have developed an eating disorder such as anorexia. If you continue to cut back on how much to eat you will eventually get very sick. so sick the doctors will not be able to fix you and you may not see your fifteenth or sixteenth birthday.
If I'm scaring you then good, I mean to. eating disorders do lead to death. The daughter of a good friend died recently from anorexia she weighed 87 pounds and thought she was fat. This is how people with eating disorders feel and this is how you sound to me ion how you write. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
