I'm not sure I understood all that, but good luck with the NYCB! When I was 15 I was 5'2" and about 105-115. I thought I was the fattest cow in the world. Looking back, I was tiny! You are still growing. If you don't eat, your body will not be able to keep going at its peak and I can imagine only atheletes at their absolute peak will be accepted with the NYCB. Most of us can get away with ana/bul because we aren't training for something someone else will judge. If we're fatigued or can't jump or concentrate, who cares? It will make a huge difference for you and your ballet career. You are so young and ana hasn't had years to wear you down. There's still time but eventually you will have to choose between ana and ballet.

I thought we weren't supposed to post weights on here...

Oh! Please start eating!! I started eating very little. At first it was fine, all I did was watch my fat and sugar intake. Then it started controlling me and I couldn't help myself... I was likr 5'5 and weighed 88 lbs. I looked AWFUL! I thought I looked so nice and trim but I looked like I had a disease [a mental disease, is what some ppl call ED's] I was so tired and I got sick... it took me quite awhile to get well again. Then I gained the weight back and now I'm healthy at 5'6 and 112 lbs. I think it's "ok" to lose weight but PLEASE dont go down to 90! Even 100 is pretty bad! My sister is 5'4 and she weighs in around 120 or so and she looks fine!! So I'm sure you dont look bad at all!

Wow...kk, i am 14 and had ED for 2 years now...the lowest my weight has been was 82 lbs when i was 13. I am now 14 and weigh around 90-92 lbs..possibly even more, im not sure, our weighing machine is a bunch of bologna! nehoo, the rest of my freinds are like 130 lbs and they look good! i mean they have meat on their bones, but they are definatly not obesse!! can u tell me if i am still 2 light for my weight? thanks a bunch! :wave:

sammyt- you are definately still too thin, without even knowing your height. Unless you were 4'8 or something under 5' (which i HIGHLY doubt) i would seriously consider gaining 10-15 lbs. Your body needs SOME weight on it to be healthy, and to go through puberty! You probabaly will think that gaining "that much" will cause you to be "fat" but unfortunately that is your bad side talking. Fight that voice because you need to be healthy! And like you said- most of your friends weigh 130lbs- so you at 110-115 would still mean you would be WAY lighter than them!!

Hope that helps and hope you consider it seriously :)

Hi! I can relate to your struggle with an eating disorder. You probably don't want to hear this, but you are NOT fat!!! I am your height and weigh 10 lbs more than you and wear a size 3-4, so I know you are VERY skinny. I think I'm fat too, but I know that stems from my distorted thinking. 90 lbs is way to skinny for a girl of your height. I understand that you don't want to stop, but when you are very young an eating disorder is like a game almost. I've had an eating disorder since I was 12 and I am now 28. When I was young I thought it was fun to see how low I could go on the scale. Now I'm just fighting to stay alive and get through the day. My body is torn up, my teeth rotting, my face ugly and swollen and my hair falling out. I wish I realized when I was younger, so I could have gotten help early. It gets worse and worse and after 16 years of doing it, you just don't know what to do anymore. :nono:

hey girlygirl...thanks for the advice...i know that i am way skinnier than my friends and i am working really hard on gaining. i just tend to find myself competing against them in my mind..,like for example, i'd always wanna run an extra lap than them, or eat less than them so i kno i havn't gained as much. sounds dumb and i can't stand it!! how do i get rid of it? thanks!

sammyt- its not dumb, its part of your disorder. I used to (and sometimes still do) compare myself to others- how much they do or don't eat, how much they exercise, how much they weigh, etc. See, people with EDs typically have a very competitive nature, and a perfectionistic attitude. Combine these two traits, and you get a competitive person who feels they always need to be the best at everything- including dieting. This feeling is something you must fight. It IS hard, and it won't just come to you naturally. When you find yourself comparing, step back and ask yourself- Who is the one with the problem here? Who is still underweight and needs to gain a lot? Who is not healthy? Who should I be concerned about most?

At first it will be tricky trying to stop comparing yourself to others, but do this and you have won half the battle. Sometimes it is easier to separate yourself physically from others (ie/ don't eat with them). But this isn't convenient most times, so use it only as a last resort. When you find yourself getting worked up because of someone else's eating or exercising just think that YOU are the one you should be worrying about because YOU are the one that is not healthy. Your friends and others maintain a healthy weight, even if they run 10 more laps than you. If you run 10 more laps to beat them, you will lose weight- and if you don't, it will just start that mindset again. Just keep in mind, as you go along trying to eat more and not exercise, that you are still not healthy, and they are. Regardless of what they do or don't do, you still won't be healthy and they will.

Hope that helps!

Wow, thanks once again girlygirl! i'll try to not compare myself to them! if theres nething else i need, i know ur always going to be there for me! :)
