i am no longer anorexic...however, i remember some of my thoughts then...and can explain some w/ the help of my doctors, therapists, etc...\n\nfirst off...i had started off, starving myself, thinking i was fat, and then, when i got down to the weight i wanted i couldnt eat...starving myself was like an addiction....\nbut then, i never thought per se i was fat, just...not skinny as displayed by society and such....\n\nwhen i saw another anorexic person, i was told she was anorexic, and took a good look at her....she was the same size of me....\n\ntwo days after seeing her, i saw she had died from dehydration and starvation....i didn't want to die...i wanted to be thin....so i went to the doctor for a diet pill....then was hospitalized...and now i'm weighing about 100 pounds again...and looking good :)

Anorexia is a very serious eating disorder. Losing 6 lbs in 2 days alone doesn't necessarily mean you're anorexic, but you may be if you have other symptoms listed below.  The limit for anorexia is usually put at a BMI of less than 17 in combination with other symptoms.\n\nCheck your BMI here:http://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmi.html \n\nOther symptoms include:\n- Avoidance of eating \n- Denies feeling hungry \n- Avoids social gatherings where food is involved \n- Develops food rituals that allow for eating very little: eats in secrecy, eats foods in a certain order, excessive chewing, rearranges food on the plate, eats unnaturally small amounts of food \n- Dramatic weight loss \n- Refuses to maintain the minimal normal body weight for age and height \n- Denies the serious consequences of low body weight \n- Obsession with dieting and weight loss \n- Weighs self several times a day and focuses on the smallest fluctuation in weight \n- Terrified of gaining weight or being fat \n- Even when thin, sees self as overweight \n- Bases self-worth on body weight and body image \n- Excessive focus on an exercise regimen \n\nPlease do not let be afraid to reach out and ask for help, even if you feel your condition is not anorexia.  You may still have another eating disorder that you may not be aware of.\n\nANRED is a very good website with a lot of resources.  I highly recommend it.  \nhttp://www.anred.com/toc.html \n\nGood luck, and don't be afraid to reach out.  It could be the wisest decision you ever make.

My heart goes out to you. It must be hard to hear what you have described. \n\nI feel scared for you if your Mom is saying you are fat at a size 0 and you are starting to believe her. This sounds like possible emotional abuse. If she means you no harm, then it sounds like an attitude from someone who has Anorexia . It is a very difficult, yet treatable condition if the person seeks help. No matter what your Mom says or does, I hope you see a school counselor or doctor about this very soon for your own safety. They can help you find out if you have Anorexia, and can help you if some verbal / emotional abuse is going on. \n\nI've met some people who don't have an eating disorder and genuinely cannot gain weight even when they try to. This is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. A professional can help you find some answers. \n\nI wish you the best.

You have to become an anorexic and be a size 0. Your height is borderline for modeling. I would stay away from bulimia cuz it makes your breath stinky, but you basically have to starve to be a model. Oh, and you should dye your hair blonde, since its summer and they look for the bimbo blonde look whenever Summer hits.\n\nI hope you realize Im being sarcastic, but if you didnt, then you are already a good model lol

That sounds perfect to me.  I have a very athletic build.  I am solid (hard as a rock) muscle in my legs etc and I have some fat on my booty and a little softness to my stomach.  I am 5'4" and I weigh 140.  People ask me if I am anorexic.  Honest, true story.  It all depends on how you are built and I learned long ago that numbers don't really matter.  I am 140lbs but I am a size 4.  Do not listen to people who tell you about charts because there are many things charts do not take into consideration.  Muscle weighs so much more than fat and if your build is athletic and your body is dense you will weigh more than the chart says you should.  Charts tell me I need to lose weight.  If I lost weight I would look very, very unhealthy.  You sound like you are in the same boat.  You sound perfect to me!!!

You have an obsessive thing about your weight.  Somewhere in your life your weight became very important to you and this is not unusual these days.  I have the same issue.  If I am overweight the entire world is in chaos because everything revolves around my weight.  I was obese as a child and my parents were unhappy about it.  I was teased and so I was unhappy about it.  I just want everyone to be happy so I diet and exercise constantly. I have even been anorexic twice.  So the best thing to do is figure out what the real reason is for your obsession and teach yourself that it doesn't really matter as musch as you think it does.  Good luck!  You are not alone in this!

I am a former anorexic. Chances are you have starved all the muscle from your body and you have a high percentage of fat to muscle left. You need to eat at least 1200 calories per day. You need at least 20 grams of fat a day for healthy skin, nail, bowel movements, etc. Start there. You may want to see a dietician for a meal plan to get you started. Also look into seeing a personal trainer that can show you how to keep a toned body that is healthy and not starved.\nI am a personal trainer and live a healthy lifestyle now..you can do it and look great the healthy way.

i would say that 120 is too little and 150 is too much.then again 5'6 could be a lot taller then people think. 130 is great and healthy. sometimes i think I'm fat. I'm 5'2 and i weigh about 105. however I'm also only 13. i think that your fine. everyone is different. I'm sure that most of your weight is muscle and height.\nsomeone who weighs 200 is very unhealthy. you are healthy but could loose some pounds. let me tell you something everyone could loose some pounds. there is no perfect weight. what ever you do stay healthy and when ever you if you do go on a diet or exercise do it because it is healthy for you not because you think your too fat. I'm sure your beautiful. stay happy and healthy!! don't mean to be selfish and rude don't listen to Amy. there is no reason to hurt yourself!!bulimia?? how ever you spell it dont listen to them that is so ridiculious. Think about this people who are too skinny they wish they could have a real womens body!! too look healthy.

Okay, you are a teen. OOOOOOOOOOOO BOYYYYY. You girls and your weight loss, for the most part you don't need it like you think you do\n\nYou are not going to lose 50 lbs by april 2nd and if you try it you are INSANE. It's not worth it, you will just end up making yourself very sick. I used to work in a school nurse's office and those dang girls would make me mad. They would come in feeling sick, dizzy, weak, the medics would be called and they admitted that they had not been eating because they were trying to lose weight\n\nMy advice to you, DON'T DO IT!! It's not worth it. You're young, you're engergetic. I am sure you do not need to lose 50 pounds. \n\nYou want to keep weight off and do it sensibly. Excercise, drink a lot of water, and eat sensibly. Don't go eating a lot of junk food. Let me tell you something whenever people go on these starvation diets, they either get addicted and become anorexic and end up looking awful, they go to hospitals where they are forced to eat, how would you like to have a feeding tube jammed up your nose??? Guess what else, IF YOU DO LOSE A LOT OF WEIGHT BY STARVING yourself or by going on some ridiculous diet, you will gain twice as much in return\n\nHey, it's not worth it, give it up , okay?\n\nI don't like to see people get hurt and the outcome of such foolishness can be tragic and at times even fatal. \n\nMaybe you need to seek some counseling. It really sounds like it to me.

You are too crude!   you make me laugh...\n\n50lbs on an anorexic really can't be 'fat' as you call it...\nbut yeah, dump her..........

You could lose all of them - DIE- . You're crazy. Even the most severe anorexics STILL EAT. What matters is what you eat an the portion.

I used to be anorexic and I had a baby last December. It was probably easier for me because I had already recovered... but still I was a little anxious about gaining weight. \n\nI ate healthily while I was pregnant, gained an appropriate amount of weight (20 - 35 pounds is recommended for an average sized woman), and most of the weight came off pretty quickly. If you don't gorge yourself (by eating a whole cheesecake because you're "eating for two") and make good food choices, eating enough for both you & the baby will cause you to gain weight, but it will be just baby weight. \n\nYou'll want a good support team family & friends as well as a therapist, a dietician or nutritionist, and an OB or midwife that you can trust & who makes you feel comfortable.\n\nGood luck & you can email me if you want to talk.

There is something very wrong, with you if you WANT to become anorexic....anorexia is a very serious disease in which you can die from. Once anorexic it will take over your entire life, and you will lose yourself within this disease. I think you wanting to be skinny is the least of your worries you have major issues with your self-esteem to deal with first. I currently have a friend right now suffering from this disease and I KNOW for a fact that she would'nt wish this illness on anyone in the world, not even her own worst enemy. I am sure you have many people in your life who love and care for you and would not want to see this illness take over your life. Anorexia is a serious, serious, condition, I pray that you will not think such things anymore! Remember that you are beautiful just the way you are and if you are truly not happy with the way you look, then I suggest you cut back on calories and work out at a normal routine.

Please stop yourself before you make any serious, life-altering decisions. Once you develop an eating disorder, it is likely that you will struggle with it the rest of your life. I am on the road to recovering from anorexia. Believe me, it is not as glamorous as you may think. I am 5'5 and at my worst I was 76 pounds. It is an absolutely horrible thing to endure.
