I don't think you need to lose weight. It sounds to me like you're either really thin or too thin. This really isn't the right board to ask people to give advice about how to lose weight~we're all trying to overcome the need to. Is there any particular reason you're trying to lose weight?

hey
thats for your input but i really am not skinny. i am really fat. I really wanted to know if the things that i was doing to lose weight is ok.

NONE of those things you are doing are okay. They are unhealthy and can cause serious damage.

Tell us a little more about yourself, ok? Maybe we can figure something out. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Luver,
First off 13 is a really hard age to be!! Friends sometimes say things like for example calling you fat that they mean as a joke b/c you're not fat you're just the opposite you're skinny! They don't realize that if you hear something enough that you start to believe it no matter if you really are the things they say you are or not. Once you really start believing that you're fat and start to do something about it you get addicted to that way of dealing with what's bothering you and you start to live for those moments when you stand on the scale and see the numbers getting smaller. The only thing is that feeling you get when you lose gets less exciting and less exciting and just like drugs you need more you eat less work out more until you're sick, weak, passing out, and your hair is falling out. I'm not trying to scare you I just want you to realize that the sooner you get help the easier it is to stop and that is can get bad. 20% of anorexics will die and I don't want you or anyone on this board to be one.

hey
thanx. it is good to know that you really care about the people on this board.i understand what you are saying but it is ssooo hard not to listent to what people are saying to me

Luver,
Your welcome! Tuning people out is soooo hard!! I can tell you what you need to do but not how to do it b/c i'm not at a point in my life where i've reached that myself. You have to have enough faith and self esteem that it doesn't matter what they say you know the truth and you have that much confidence in yourself that what they say can't touch you.

hi luver, i am a 17 year old girl and i have anorexia, at 5'2 and 108lbs you are not fat, and you do not need to lose weight, it sounds to me like you are too thin. People say things when they are 13 which are said to hurt others but they dont always mean it. I did exactly as you did, i asked for help to ose weight when freally i was addmitting i had a problem, i dont know my weight in pounds but i am around 40kgs now but i got down to under 35kgs. You shouldn't be trying to lose weight you should be trying to put weight on. What do you see when you look in the mirror??? and what do other people see??? i have checked with a friend who is a doctor and she says that you should be around 125lbs, and you are much under that weight. well i know it may seem like we are lectureing you but we dont want you to get like some of us. good luck, e-mail me if you wanna talk about anything, love caz

Hey luver, you are around 48kg's, and i just worked out what i am in pounds, i am now 96lbs, i would be happy for you to e-mail me and i will repley as soon as i can, i check my e-mail daily, but you are a different time difference to me. Anyway doesn't it tell you something when your friends say something different to what you think??? Well e-mail me soon ok, love caz

hey

Hi, well I wish I was your weight I'm 5'2 & 142 pounds. I'm trying to lose weight too & here is my advice, purging ect is not the way to go, you need to eat healthy & exercise. I am currently using a weight loss pill called hydroxycut & it helped me lose like 5 pounds in one week, I recommend it, but do not go over the recommended use, I may stop taking it though because I don't like using pills.

hey
thanks for you advice. right now i am trying to eat right but thanks to all the things that i was doing before i am really sick right now and i can't eat right or it will make me more sick. so what do i do about that?
luv
luver
