Hey all u people out there that care about me! I've tried so many boards and none of them have given me a response. I am 14, 5'2 and I have changed my eating habits since I saw I weighed 95 this summer. I began eating only one meal a day, no meals a day, and sometimes two meals a day (but i would feel disgusting afterwards). I dont really think that I am "fat" really, cuz I am now at 87lbs, but I am obsessed with not eating. It makes me feel as if I have accomplished something for the day, i guess. I dont really kno if I have an eating disorder of if I am just skinny and dont really eat as much as everyone else, or something.

Mag- I am glad that you have decided to try out this board. It is great. About your eating...sweetie, you sound like you might be developing an eating disorder. Only eating one a meal a day is not nearly enough food. And feeling like it's an accomplishment is another sign of a problem. I am sure that you have more questions, so feel free to email me!

Love, Jen
PS- If you are wondering why I think you might have a problem, I am anorexic and have been for the past two years. So I might have some insight for you. Plus, I really want to help others. I would hate for you to go through what I have gone through.

Yeah, I have to vote with Jen...

I was never really trying to lose weight....I was just trying not to gain it.

But it wound up that I kept losing, and while I thought I looked a little on the thin side, I actually looked extremely sick. I've gained 15 pounds, and sometimes I feel huge. But that same 15 pounds made me realize how awful I must have looked...The hardest part is that now, I may never be able to have children.

I've always heard people say that an eating disorder is a sign of a problem, not the problem. Whatever it is in your case, please know that my thoughts are with you!

take care, and good luck.

ps. try taking a picture of yourself, the way you look now. When you were at 95 lbs and 5'2", I'll bet you're pretty thin....
