I’m thinking that you might be borderline anorexic. Check out the information below.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

BMI Classification

18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity

Check out your BMI at the bmi calculator site below to see where you stand.

“How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?”

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it’s not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

“What should a minimum calorie intake be?”

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

  Information on eating disorders:

http://www.helpguide.org/mental/eating_disorder_help_support.htm

An eating disorder is much much more than just loosing weight. It is a mental disorder too and I don’t think you’ve got an eating disorder, but maybe just your body is changing and is rejecting a lot of food.

Maybe you should try talking to your parents. They might be able to help. Maybe it’s period related but maybe not. Talk to them, I know it’s hard but just do it. They’ll be able to help, I’m sure!!

Good luck, let me know how it goes xx
