I'm unhappy with my weight, i am not overweight, but i think im aneroxic, i mean like when i was 14 yerars i was at a normal weight, that was about two years ago, then last year i was unhappy and i didnt eat that much, not because i didnt want to, but i guess i never felt like it, i sometimes forgot to eat, and sometimes i would eat one meal a day, i take a plate full of food, then i might just eat a quarter and wouldnt feel like eating anymore, now when i try to eat more food, i just dont want to, i feel full, now im 16 years and im no longer at a normal weight, ive lost weight, and im supposed to be a lot more kg now that im growing...i dont know whats wrong, i didn't intentially want to lose weight, i never counted calories, i loved the way i looked before, i just was depressed, and then my eating habits got worse and worse...i hate the way i look now, im skinny, pale, i dont have that womanly curvy figure that i used to have, i want to gain weight, get my figure back, i want to eat more, and yet its as if i can't..don't know what's wrong, don't know what to do..thanks for listening....

I'm sorry sweetie *offers a hug*.
I really think this should be reposted in Support & Recovery's Eating Disorder Support Thread - there are lots of people in there willing to listen and talk. I'm going to leave this open for now, but I'll likely be closing it once you repost. I'm going to be editing your post to take out all numbers though, because those are triggering. When you repost, eliminate the numbers please. Thank you.

^^^ The only numbers she had in her post was her age.

^^That's because I edited her post after she made it. Before that, she had her weight before, her weight after, etc. So I changed those to some generic words, because numbers can foster competition which is triggering.

^^^ Sorry about that. I was under the impression that you hadn't edited her post yet. And I agree, posting numbers related to weight and calories is very triggering for people with eating disorders.

Anorexic, if I'm not mistaken, is making yourself throw up after you eat something.  |

Anorexia Nervosa:
Anorexia is the refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height (e.g., weight loss leading to maintenance of body weight less than 85% of that expected; or failure to make expected weight gain during period of growth, leading to body weight less than 85% of that expected). It is associated with the intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though underweight, and disturbance in the way in which one's body weight or shape is experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self-evaluation, or denial of the seriousness of the current low body weight. One refuses to eat, or eats very little portions of food and experiences guilt and depression when one eats.

When I was younger, I was really uncomfortable with my weight and about went into the aneroxic stage, but first tried starving myself. I got really sick, but still would not eat no matter what. I finally got to the weight of about 60 pounds... and that was too low and I could only take 2 steps and be worn out. It was awful, so I had to eat.
Hon, don't worry about your body image. I can tell you from my experience, it is not worth it.
