Anorexia?

I'm worried that I might have it. O.O Can anyone give me signs of having it? It's like.. I binge and sometimes I don't eat that much.. :/ I know maybe I shouldn't be posting about this but I just need to know. I'm only 14.

First of all, this may be posted in the wrong area...

Anyways. Why do you binge? Do you think you're fat? Take a BMI test for teens to see if you're underweight. If you are, eat more (healthy food though). If you're normal weight, keep trying to eat normally.

That's all the advice I can give you. But, maybe you should try looking it up? And see if any of the symptoms apply to you.

Hope I helped,

I think this is posted in the wrong place, anyway I think you should see a doctor if you are worried about it.

Why do you think you have it?

I guess you guys are right. Well.. It says that I'm supposed to weigh 127-130 something pounds and I weigh like 107.. o.o I binge because.. I don't eat much in the day. :/ I feel really uncomfortable talking about this now.

Oh Scarlet, it's alright. If you'd like you can PM me about it and we can talk in private...

Thanks SO much!!

Just feast The only way to be at a healthy weight is to eat at the right area for your amount of exercise. Seems like you aren't eating enough. Eat more. If you become overweight, eat less.

Thanks for the advice. I ate TO much today... xP I ate six things one after the other... xP

Also, some girls are naturally smaller than the others. Just remember to live a healthy life and eat the right things.

I'm supposed to be around 125 but only way around 108. I'm small though in general. I eat A LOTT somedays then don't eat at all others. You just have to make sure you eat healthy and keep excersing normally. Don't over eat a lot all the time because if you are small it's bad for your body. I'm fourteen as well and I've been way underweight all my life. PM if you ever want to talk.

This! According to BMI indexing I'm really underweight, but if I gain weight I feel horrible. I base health on the activities I can do and what I eat.

Go by how you feel and what you're eating. Focus more on the quality of food and your quality of life than anything else.

Height and age will depend on the apporpiate weight range.

Really, if you're this concerned, you should consult with your doctor and possibly a nutritionlist.

Hey, PM me! First off, my name's Leah. I'll be 15 in September, and I have an EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified). This year I did a whole multigenre research project about Anorexia and I've found a whole bunch of websites, so if you're interested, just PM me. Um.. when you say binge, what do you mean? A binge is usually classified as eating so many calories at one time, usually a whole day's amount in one sitting. There are many types of eating disorders, it's not just Anorexia.
But right now, just hear me straight, do not risk getting an ED, it's not worth it. There are those sites out there that are pro-ana, saying it's a lifestyle. It's a choice, but it's not. If you seriously think you have or are at risk of getting an eating disorder, go talk to a doctor or counselor or someone, your parents, a friend, a trust adult. It's all a bunch of blah blah blah, I know, but seriously don't chance it. I saw that I was at risk of developing an ED and I didn't do anything about it, wasn't concerned about it. I used to go around not caring about how much my stomach stuck out, or whether or not I could wrap my hand tightly around my wrist. Now I can't eat anything without feeling guilty afterwards, so DO NOT RISK IT! I can't stress it enough!
Stay Strong, you're beautiful. And just because you're underweight, that doesn't mean you have an ED or anything. My cousin is underweight, but she was just born that way. Eat healthy and exercise and see a doctor regularly, etc etc. And don't be afraid to talk to anyone.
Good Luck! Sorry if this was a little long, I'm just really passionate about the topic...

Anorexia's no bueno...if you have the slightest suspicion, you should get help. I'm not saying you have to get into a support group right now, just talk to your doctor or your mom. And you don't have to be a toothpick to be beautiful. Stick-thin models aren't really all that happy. Just look at all the confident, healthy-sized girls around you and see how happy they are. You're beautiful just the way you are, to quote Bruno Mars. :] message me if you want to talk.
