Question: Am I developing an EATING DISODER? I’M 13…Please Help!?
hi
i am 13 years 8 months and going into 8th grade
im 5’1 and 101-103 lbs
used to be like 96 lbs a few months ago
i am wanting to be 92 lbs at least
ever since I was 11 i have always counted calories and etc.
i feel like I look fat and everything. i wear tee shirts instead of like tight shirts
i weigh myself a lot
i count calories and feel guilty when I eat them. I feel lonely
I was disagnosed with depression when i was 12 (had nothing to do withh this)
i am terrified when I gain weight
I hear a voice in my head saying “you will always be a fat***” or “you’ll never be good enough
I have tried starving myself before, but it didn’t work out. I gave up. but right now I just eat very little, like 1000 calories a day and I skip dinner. i am dehydrated.
I have a low self esteem and im just so shy.
I dont do any sports. I am pretty though.
am I having a problem here? or is this typical teenage girl stuff??
If you have any questions I will add details
thanks x

It may just be that you are getting self conscious about your image…it comes with the beginning of your teenage years.
But one thing is for sure…starving yourself is never going to help you.
Try getting involved with more sports, maybe eat healthier instead of less, and don’t be worried about it that much…you sound like your fine

It seems like you are developing an eating disorder. Just so you know, starving yourself doesn’t mean you eat nothing, it means you eat less than what is minimally considered healthy. 1,200 calories a day is considered the minimum to eat daily. What you are doing now is considered starving yourself. Also, 92 pounds will make you a bit too slim. The FEELING fat is typical teenage girl stuff, but the rest of it (the voices in your head, the fear of gaining weight, the depression, the skipping meals, etc.), all screams anorexia. I suggest that you seek help for it right away.

Question: Am I developing an eating disorder?
Yesterday we had a BBQ, and my mom served my dinner…I didn’t really eat it…instead I was just chewing on the food…and secretly spitting it out on a napkin. Their was another day when I was hungry and I saw a yogurt…I looked at how many calories it had and I said “This it too much calories..” so I didn’t eat anything…I also cry constantly because of how “fat” or “thick” I think I am. After I brush my teeth I feel guilty knowing that the toothpaste has calories…I try to eat things with very low calories…I no longer eat meat anymore because it’s going to get me fat..Right now there is a huge bucket of chicken wings…I didn’t bother eating it because the image of a fat me just sticks into my mind…So I guess I’m a vegetarian…I don’t know.
Also, I am 13.

I think i may be developing anorexia, i really need help. please help me!?
Question: I think i may be developing anorexia, i really need help. please help me!?
So this all started a week before thanksgiving. I was about 135 lbs, im 13 and 5’8″. I felt (and still do) feel horrible about myself and i thought (and still think) that i was very fat. I jiggle when i jump and i was a size 7 in jeans! I was at an all time low. I felt like everyone hated me because i was fat, felt like i wasn’t popular because i was fat, felt like i wasn’t worth any ones time, like nobody cared about me, because i was fat, etc etc.
I started researching anorexia and i started asking questions about it on Y!A. I kept thinking about it and realized that i need to lose weight NOW. So i cut my meals down to a yogurt or two eggs for breakfast, a banana or apple for lunch, and a 200-300 calorie dinner. I was swimming about 2 hours on friday, and went to the gym for 30 mins on the weekends. I felt great! Powerful and thin! I kept that up for like three days, losing about a pound a day. On the third day i ate a burger. As soon as i finished, the thoughts going through my head were “Your a faliure. You fatty, of course you failed. Your a complete faliure, your worth nothing, cause your FAT. Your fat. fat fat fat.” etc. My only comfort was that i would start over tomorrow, that i would eat even less tomorrow and it would even out. Then, the voice slowly subsided.
I started over again on Monday of that week. at first, i followed the diet i had at home on the weekend, but slowly started eating more and more, up to almost 1000 calories (i kept a calorie log and while i was dieting i ate about 500-700 calories per day.) I kept up sort of a cycle, severe dieting for two days and on the third day eating about 1000 calories. I felt horrible, guilty and angry with myself, the terrible thoughts swirling in my head after the third days. However, I went from 135 lbs to 126 in about a couple weeks.
Suddenly, on thanksgiving, i binged and ate EVERYTHING. I ate constantly, literally all day. The next day i weighed myself and went from 127 to 130!! I panicked and tried to immediately return to my severe diet, but found myself bingeing again. I gained another pound the next day.
Ever since then, ive been slowly restricting my diet and my mom and dad are getting worried. Im now 127.5 lbs and losing. I now have a lot of symptoms of anorexia (not eating more than 700 calories per day, guilt after eating, dizziness, depression, measuring food by cups and 1/2 cups, keeping a calorie log, visiting pro ana sites sometimes, etc.) I took a test online and my results said i was developing an ED. I NEVER puke after eating, but im starting to get a feeling like i want to. I also havent pooped in a couple days.. lol.. My mom makes fun of me when i eat normally, saying “oh if your anorexic you cant eat that.” and “i thought anorexics never eat.” My family makes fun of me, calling me anorexic, etc, but then they say their worried about me. Im starting to skip lunch and i lied to my parents, telling them i ate a burger, just so they would shut up about me.
Weight is always on my mind, i check myself out whenever i can and literally the first thing i think of is “FAT!” I squeeze my tummy and feel handfuls of fat, my thighs touch, i just feel OBESE. I know technically im not though. I just feel like if only i lost weight everything would be much better, my life would be amazing. Im getting very depressed in school when i see my friends getting attention and i think “of course they do, their SKINNY. you ARENT.” I ate 600 calories today and felt guilty, im starting to dislike the full feeling. I fear eating now because im afraid i wont stop. I do stop, but i eat tiny things after dinner, like an orange or a couple pretzels, and feel GUILTY. My goal weight is 120 lbs, but i want to go even lower like 115 or 110. I dont want to tell my parents either, i dont want to be stopped before i lose weight.
Im sorry this is so long, but i need help. Someone, anyone, please help me. Answer, please. Thanks so much to those who even read all this :’(

Slow and steady wins the goal. Too many chase the beta and hence too many fail in the end. It’s all a basic philosophy lesson.

My sister is 16 and I think she might be developing an eating disorder?
Question: My sister is 16 and I think she might be developing an eating disorder?
My sister has been overweight her whole life, she was 220 pounds at her heaviest which was about 6 weeks ago. She is now 185 and she did this by taking my brother’s Adderal and only eating one double cheeseburger from mcdonald’s, which is something she never ate before so its a little strange. Anyways, thats all she eats and she splits it in two so its one patty for one slice of bread and eats it with a fork and knife. She is always tired but goes to the gym everyday anyways and gets really defensive if my mom tells her to take a break, she yells at my mom things like “its your fault i’m fat!” She has very low self esteem and I don’t know if this is extreme dieting that she will stop when she reaches a healthy weight or if she is developing an eating disorder.anyone who has dieted like this did you stop at a reasonable weight did you develop anorexia?
Answer:
Answer by LookForward
If she stops when she reaches the weight she wants, and starts eating like she normally did all over again she will gain weight again so she will probably continue, that’s what most people do..
