Luver,
It sounds to me like you are anorexic. I am too so i'm not critisizing just saying that I think you are. Eating that few calories and then working out that much is anorexia to me. I love to work out too. Do you run or what? I run and i'm a gymnast. My advice is to first face what you're dealing with b/c that helped me a lot and then I realized that I needed help and I got some. Yes, you really are doing something to yourself that could harm you. When you're body isn't getting any food it starts to eat protein from itself ie:your heart which can make you really sick or even kill you. Sorry if that scared you I just thought you should know. Anytime you want to talk i'm your girl.

Luver,

I am sorry if I sounded harsh in my other reply to your other post! This is a really friendly bored (really!) and very supportive. It's just that I am beginning to learn how dangerous some of these things are (and I take it to heart because I do every one of the things you mentioned [starve, purge, diet pills], but as much as I want to be happy, I don't think I can be unless I am healthy too! Stick around, do some reading, talk to people, and learn!

Welcome to the board!

thanx
i know what you are saying but it is so hard to stop. i can't stant gettingup each moring and looking at the fat on my body.i am kind of worried about myself. i think if am doing this now what will i be doing when i am 16. or will be i even be alive. i have people at my school who i talk to but (as you should know)it is a really hard thing to talk about. if you talk to the person and then you have to see them day after day. what are they going to think of me?
luv
