At 5 ft & 85 pounds, you are definitely underweight. At 12 years old, what you are doing to your body is very bad. Not only does if effect you now, but in your future if you survive that long.

At 45, I was 5 ft 2 in & weighted 83. I was way underweight & ended up being hospitalized until they got my anemia & malnutrition stabalized......it was a monthly process at the time because I wasn't eating. Just last year, I was 52 & ended up getting down to 93. Again, I was hospitalized for 2 months being treated for the anemia & malnutrition. The damage I am doing to my body by not eating harms my bones, my calcium with my teeth (which are all breaking now).

You are not fat......but because you are thinking that you are fat & refuse to listen to the truth, you are dealing with anorexia.....since the primary issue with eating disorders are body image issues.

You need your family's help to start with since they are the ones who will determine what treatments they will ok from the Dr's suggestions. They are the ones that need to take you to the Dr.

The harm you are doing to yourself may get to the point when it is no longer reversible. You need help NOW. I am sure you know how to search the internet & you can see all the horrible things that anorexia can do permanently to your body. I was told that I could die within days if I wasn't treated & at the worst point, it can cause heart failure or even a possible stroke.

It is important for you to realize that your choice to not eat has consequenses. If it isn't death, you wouldn't want to live like a vegetable after a stroke.....or even being put on life support to stay alive & not be able to enjoy what life has in store for your future. I found out the hard way that my bones & even my teeth have been effected by my abuse of eating. I hate the dentist but probably need all of my teeth pulled. My desire to be thin even though my lack of eating was initiated by a reaction to meds & then a reaction to stress (I get nausea when I have a huge stress I am dealing with) has harmed other parts of my body that I never would have imagined.

You need help.......talk to your parents & let them know how serious your situation is.
