Does not eating properly or barely at all, stop your hormones and stop you from growing when you're teenager?

It can actually boost some hormones, making you grow hair in places you don't want to (facial hair, back hair, etc), while decreasing levels of others.  These fluctuations can lead to osteopenia (early form of osteoporosis), weakened joints, bad breath, irregular periods (or none at all) and many more nasty effects.\nYou certainly must eat, and try to eat well!!!

a) it depends on how tall you are\n\nb) you are 12. You're not even done with puberty yet. If you are concerned about your weight, talk to your parents about making you healthier meals, but don't worry about it that much-- as you get older, your body will change, and as long as you exercise and eat right, you'll be fine. I went through a heavy phase from 11 to 13, and then at 14 i suddenly got really skinny without really doing anything-- my body was just ready to drop the 'baby fat'. So, don't worry about what your friends think!!!

yes hormones can effect your weight in either way (losing or gaining pounds)...if it is more than just a minimum amount, talk to a doctor just to be sure.

You might not grow anymore. You might grow another 6 inches. Really, I can't tell you. Typically people stop growing in their late teenage years.

Firstly - well done for taking the long journey out of your eating disorders\n\nSecondly - they could be some residual effects of your condition where your ovaries are 'taking stock' of the new situation in your body.\n\nThirdly you may have an almost symptomless condition 'poly cystic ovary syndrome' which can play havoc with your periods without you being pregnant.\n\nMaybe tho take a pregnancy test for your own peace of mind before consulting your doctor about this if it doesn't resolve itself soon

I'm 15. I think that I may have been struggling a little with an eating disorder over the past 3/4 of a year.  I never weighed little enough to be formally diagnosed with anorexia but came within one or two pounds. I've regained some of the weight that I lost but still struggle with body image problems.\nI know a lot of girls at my school who are trying to lose weight and try out the new diet fads, but they aren't successful and don't stick to them, and I don't think they really have eating disorders.

well i'll tell you. if your 13 you're still growing which is normal. if your 156 pounds at 5'6" thats normal too. should you be that  big at age 13,  i dont know. but it seems that kids are growing up faster now a days due to all the chemicals in the food supply. as for you appetite, its normal since your growing. just remember to use some self control and eat healthy. dont carry that eating habit onto your teenage years and so on. eat bout 4-6 meals a day but eat small healthy portions. dont EVER eat to make yourself full. just eat to get past hunger. what this does is it keeps your metabolism high so that you dont stack on the pounds. and remember to stay active. dont be in your room all day playing video games or being online.

You could take growth hormones, but I don't advise it. They can seriously mess you up. Relax. You're only 15, and 5'3" isn't that bad. You don't stop growing till you're about 21 anyways. I'm turning 25 in a week and I'm only 5'4". Learn to love yourself. Big things come in small packages.

you didn't say which type of disorder, not eating food or eating too much, so i will assume you mean not eating.\nFirstly you will make any excuse not to eat, you will start lying about how much you eat, you will hide food to make people think you have eaten well, you may also try different ways of getting rid of the small amount of food you have eaten, by making yourself sick or taking laxatives. You will look in the mirror and think you are fat when you are probably in reality very thin.\nIf not treated by professional help then your body becomes run down through lack of nutrients, you get lethargic and eventually develop a fear of food, you shake and break out in a sweat when you see large amounts in front of you. You will also make excuses not to attend functions that serve food.... parties, family get togethers etc.\nIf you see all the above in you, or even some of the above then please talk to your Doctor, its more common than you think, and they can offer you proper help.

You are experiencing being a teenager. you eat almost 3 times more than an adult and that is perfectly normal. your body need it for growing healthy. Enjoy being a teen. eat as much as you want(excluding junk foods) you will be burning them all off.

Yes, anxiety can certainly cause a lessening of appetite.\nAlso, if you have been dieting, the body and stomach eventually become used to lesser food, and your appetite signals will eventually diminish.

So long as you eat a healthy diet, you shouldn't have any problems.  You probably ate very much before because you were in a growth spurt.  Your appetite and weight should stabilize.  Just make sure you eat right.

There may be a psychological reason for you over eating.  Are you nervous, overly concerned about your appearance, do you have anxiety issues?  These are issues that only you can answer.  Many people find solace in food when they are dealing with anxiety.  At 15 years old, I imagine your life would be challenging.\n\nAlso, that 10kgs you gained could be the result of maturing, as your body is still growing.  At 15, I remember being able to chow down some serious amounts of food.\n\nThe best way to manage your diet, I think, is to record everything you eat.  Use a site such as http://www.fitday.com to monitor your calories and try to stay within the daily allotment (there are tools on the site to help you do this).  Also consider doing some sort of fun exercise once a day to keep your metabolism revved up and your endorphins flowing.  Try running, walking, dancing, whatever tickles your fancy.  This will help take the edge off some of the teenage angst.\n\nUltimately, you'll get the flatter abs, thighs and bums when your diet is in order and your fitness level increases.  There's no short cuts or magic pills to get around that.  It takes work and dedication.\n\nGood luck.

For the average person - it seems to be.  Only really lucky people who have great genetics in their family seem to be able to retain thier youthful figure  (unless of course you were heavy - they yes - it is realisti )  \n\nYou will have to work harder and harder as the years go by if you like eating... you will tend to gain weight - the weight is harder to lose as you get older..... :(  Sad to true...

Growth hormones can help enhance growth during puberty, but there are very dangerous side effects from messing with growth hormones.  After puberty there isn't much you can do...
