Your body will never be as beautiful as you want it to be...no one's ever is!  If you get a good exercise program, you can tone up and some gyms can offer a personal trainer to help you.  As you age, your body changes its shape whether you like it or not. Stop looking at all the magazines in the check out counter, they are not realistic.  Look at the people around you that are your age.  Don't ruin your body by being bulimic, it's not worth it.  Enjoy yourself.  Do you have a support group you can join? That could be great help for you.  I am a Nurse Practitioner in Family Practice, and this is the advice I give a lot of the gals that are struggling for the "hour glass" figure! Find a BMI chart and strive for a healthy BMI of about 22-24. (BMI is calculated by dividing height in inches by weight in pounds by weight in pounds X 703, which is why you're better off with a chart.)

DDR would, but you also have to eat right.  She wants you to take the initiative.  Do your research.  An you do NOT have to be skinny to be a model.  Please remember that.  Modeling is not just about how you look, but about how you act and how you hold yourself.

Nope. You are slim, but not anorexic.  I am 5'8" and at one time I weighed 104 lbs. THAT was tooo thin!

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!!!

i have never been in this position but i have to say that this is one of the worst things that you can do to your body...its making your body eat itself from the inside out because it has no food...i would advise you to see an eating counsellor as soon as possible...i know an anorexic person and she has been near death...don't worry about what other people think! you should love yourself and people should love you for who you are!

I'm sure it does.  Anorexia also causes problems with the rest of your body.  Hair becomes brittle and falls out, heart failure may occur and your body starts to shut down because there's no nourishment.

Yes, she will lose weight. And muscle tissue and brain functionality,strength and endurance. She is dangerously below what she needs in a day (usually 1200-1600 calories are recommended for those who are extremely overweight). Sounds like she may need to seek counseling because if she sees something different than what really exists when she looks in the mirror, then her mind's eye needs to be reprogrammed. These are often beginning signs of anorexia and bulimia. Encourage her to talk to a counselor. She is in danger of harming herself by doing these things. This is not the time to keep your thoughts to yourself. If necessary, ask for help from a trusted adult to intervene. She may get mad at you, but it's worth it to save her life. Be encouraged.

I was anorexic and yea i got skinny but its not worth it. your stomach will growl but you will just have to get over it if you want to become anorexic. but if you ever want to stop it is hard and i can go without eating all day which i don't like and if you stop completely then you will gain weight faster than if you lost it the healthy way. I know doing it the healthy way is to much work but it is alot better for you.

yes it is bad to be anorexic. once you start, it can be very hard to stop. you don't want to be all skin and bones...it's not a good thing. please don't do that to yourself.

You will be mentally and physically sick.  \n\nIt will be double the battle to keep your health.  Your mind is reacting to the present state of your body and your body is reacting to the unstable state of your mind.  Not healthy.\n\nYou WILL damage your health with anorexia... even if you get cured the damage to your health still exists.  \n\nAnorexia DOES lead to death ultimately.  Please don't.

I didn't get mine until i was 16.  I know exactly what you are going through.  It isn't anyone else's business though.  And you know what- it doesn't matter later on.  Your body will eventually catch up.  My doctor told me that mine was proabably late because I was a gymnast and because I was very thin.  I am totally healthy now- I am 25 and have had 2 beautiful children too, so don't worry, it won't affect you later on either.  If you are concerned, you should talk to your doctor- he or she can tell you if you need to be worried.

It's really sad, isn't it?  I don't know if it could get reversed...do you remember the Dove advertising campaign where they used women who were not skinny-anorexic, but rather women who were both average and plus size? Well a lot of people were angered by that and preferred to see the anorexic models rather than the overweight ones.  I think, unfortunately, we have all become accustomed to this negative ideal physique.  I hope it can get reversed!

You don't give any info about yourself. If you're asking "should I become an anorexic?" , the answer is NO!  It is a slow suicide.

They will ask you lots of questions and look at you and probably feel around, but remember as annoying as it may be they are trying to help you. I have a friend that was anorexic and she has several internal health problems now. It is a very serious illness, and I hope you overcome it. Good luck, and stay strong, you can do it.

You may have body dismorphic syndrome.  It's a form of annorexia.  I am not implying you have anorexia, but body dismorphic syndrome is when you look in to a mirror and see something that isn't there (I.e, fat).  You may want to seek professional help for this so it does not escalate in to something worse.

I am a psych major and am currently in a class "addictions and compulsive behaviors" at my college. we actually covered eating disorders last week and i've also been bulemic. what is sounds like is that you're VERY close to becoming or being anorexic. You're scared to eat regular foods that contain the protiens and vitamins your body needs to operate, and it seems like it's getting in the way of your regular lifestyle. What I would think about to help yourself get thru this mental block of healthy eating is that if you keep going the pace you are, anorexia is what you'll get, if not death in the long run. Anorexia is a lifestyle if you adapt to it too quickly and dependantly. It's very hard for people who have the same types of problems as you to go from eating vegatables, fruits, nuts and water to full, healthy meals. Just remember, there is plenty of help out there for you, and plenty of ways to be skinny/in shape/fit without starving yourself and on a constant regimen of exercise, I swear! \n\nIts okay to not eat the 'bad foods', just remember your body needs the 'good foods'! And working out isn't bad, just when you go overboard. Most trainers will tell you that you shouldn't work out everyday and that it's most healthy to give your body and in-between day to help your muscles get adjusted to their new strength/flexibility. \n\nI hope I helped!! :)
