Hi im Riannon Im 13 years old I am 6 stone 84 lb I think. Am I annorexic, I hardly eat at breakfast at dinner I skip my meal and drink water. At tea I dont eat much at all I eat as slowly as possible I now know that my mum likes to wash up as soon as she has finished eating, So if I eat slowly and Say I dont wont no more then she will wash it up and then I wont eat it. Im taking laxatives they are my mums my mum dosent know that I am taking them . Do you think I am becoming anorexic or What?. I dont have any snacks at all I just drink water I dont eat no chocolate. I have about 500 calories a day and thats all I wont . 6 stone is really fat for me I wont to lose lots and lots of weight. Lots of people call me fat at school and I hate it When people like that say stuff like 'ughh your fat' I take it really serious. Do you think I have got low self esttem or confidence? I really need your advice to get throught this. You might this why am I doing this to myself? I will tell you why I get really depressed With what has happened in my family life so I just dont eat and it seems to make everything better.

sweetie... listen, I've suffered with an eating disorder for 3 years, it started when I was 15 and im not 18... I started off just like you - skipping meals - eating about 500 calories a day. I was also depressed with things - one of the many reasons my eating disorder came about... but listen, it doesnt change anything! you may think it will make it better but it really doesnt!...because of my eating disorder I have a very high chance of having osteoporosis (which is a low bone density, meaning that bones break easily and other horrible sideeffects), I have an irregular heart beat, and trouble breathing, and a high chance of being infertile...yes, im thin, but guess what? it doesnt look good...I know it doesnt look good I look disgusting and people around me tell me the same thing! - but once an eating disorder gets so ahold of you, its so hard to let go of it! - you think your in control (believe me I've been in your position) but really its the eating disorder that has control of you!!!
Please try and eat a bit more...take it one step at a time..
try introducing an apple to your diet, and then some fruit for breakfast, or cereal. Im not suggesting you go all out and eat loads of foods and loads of chocolate because eating disorders are physcological and that wont make you feel good, it will make it worse. but introducing more fruits and vegetables to your diet will really do you good as you'l be getting the nutrtion that you need - you will even find that you will loose more weight that way - as starvation decreases your matabolism rate and eventually no matter how little you eat you wont loose the weight you want to!

stay strong...
please...dont just live off coffee like someone above said - its not healthy and it will do you great damage...look on the internet for consequences of eatingdisorders...its not pretty - a lot of people die, or if not end up in comas in hospital with brain damage.
But im not here to preach to you about it, as like I said, I have an eating disorder - but am getting treatment for it!!!...just be safe- and no that it has more control over you than you on it!

well your diet definitly is not healthy...and I think you are and if your nt then your getn real close to becoming anorexic. look...even though you want to loose weight this way its guna back fire later big time. you should start eating...but slowly...don't just eat everything...like for a snack try and eat toast...it will sit in your stomache and its healthy and its not heavy. you just cant not eat. even if you have family problems trust me it doesnt help. I have so many problems and I tried the not eating thing and it went down hill. start eating small then you cn start eating more. if theres anythign else just ask.
good luk

yes it does sound like you are anorexic.

If you think you, or someone you know, might have an eating disorder, take this quiz developed by the Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt (http://www.eatingdisorder.org/about_eating_disorders/resources/quiz.php). It can help identify whether you or someone you know has an eating disorder. Check it out and pass it on.

you need to feel good
if you want some help, try watching 'hairspray' the movie, it made me feel good so I'm recommending it to you.
