My calorie Intake is about 100 each day sometimes 0

[alisandria]

Your calorie intake for a whole day is 100 calories? And sometimes zero? Your body's metabolism is probably slowed down a whole lot to protect and preserve from such a low calorie intake.

When was the last time you saw your doctor? I'm very concerned for you, you need much more than that to sustain life.

About 3 years ago I dont remember And i NEVER want to see a docter beacuse i am only 12 years old and Idk whats wrong with me. I dont know if i am anerexic or just paranoid

100 calories or 0 per day?! This is far too little lukeyeats. You need to tell your parents and see a doctor / nutritionist as you are endangering yourself.

As for not observing any weight loss, your body has gone into 'starvation mode', your metabolism has slowed down. Therefore, your body is holding onto the fat. It is a misconception that stopping to eat will cause one to lose weight, it is usually the reverse that happens.

You really need to have this checked out asap as, again, it is dangerous to stop eating. Your body needs more than orange juice and chocolate milk.

You need outside help. Please go see your family doctor.

It is very important for you to see a Dr. Because you are 12y/o, your body is still growing and you need more calories. If you cannot go to your parents, go talk to an adult who you can trust to listen and help you get healthy.

[Sarah116]

Sounds like an eating disorder! What is your height and weight, check your BMI, then see your Regular doctor. Let them tell you if you are over weight or SEVERELY UNDERWEIGHT!

[Norahs]

I am 5 feet 0 inches and I wiegh 85 pounds

This is quite serious lukeyeats. You are too underweight and this is harmful to your body.

You do need to talk to someone (parents / doctor). Your body will shut down.

Sweetheart at that height and weight you should probably be around 105 to 115 pounds with out a doubt.....
and YES as the others have already said - your body is still trying to grow into a Beautiful Young Lady - so if you restrict the calories now you will NEVER know what you could have been, for your body will have shut down and given up even before it had a fighting chance.

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.

as many ppl have stated you need help, you have asked these same questions since 11/15/05 my confustion is , you say your 12 now but when you first joined you said you were 13, either your having memory problems or your playing games and hon eating disorders are not a game

[zombiette]

if u haven't reached puberty yet 85 pounds mite be ok, depends on ur build, family history, etc...or it could well be too light...in light of ur eating habits and height it sounds kinda suspect tho...either way, u need to see a doctor - let them determine whether ur weight is appropriate or not and what further help u need.

[(JD)]

I know it's difficult to see yourself as you really are -physically and psychologically - but you need to keep trying, imo. Do you have friends that honestly do not have eating disorders that you consider look good? Why not have your picture taken with them, and compare yourself. It takes a lot to retrain the brain to see what is reality, overriding what your emotional self sees.

Can you change the way you think and talk (and type?) Instead of saying and thinking "I am sooo fat!" say and think "I FEEL sooo fat!" It's a small change, but will help in the long run.

You aren't alone in this disorder, but you do need help to live through it, imo. (((hugs)))

[Norahs]

I am a boy thank you very much. And When I said I was 13? I dont know whats up with that but I AM NOT PLAYING THIS! This is serious.

[darkeyes]

Here is when you said that you were 13, in some of your posts back in 2005.

lukeyeats states:
omg i am 13 and i just jad my first shot of wine. PUKING! gross but hey its good i am gonna have 3 more shots and thats all.
lukeyeats states:
I drink but theres one problem. I am 13!! Its so good i need serious help cuz i cut my self 2.


BTW
If you are coming to the various forums for support,respect and honesty can be an asset. If you are not open to suggestions/advice then why ask?
The members are trying to reply to your ongoing questions and worry you harbour within yourself, cause you do seem like you are asking for help.
Be honest to others and respect others as you would want to be trusted and respected by them.
For your best interest, you really should take this stuff up with a medical doctor and even a pdoc, both can help you with your various problems you have posted at almost all the different forums here,since 2005 up to the present.
We are not doctors,psychiatrists or psychologists, just everyday people doing our best to support one another.
I wish you lots of luck with your mental and physical disorders.
Please take care,
DE

[Norahs]

Excuse ME but it was a honest mistake...... for some reason I thought you were a girl, probably because more girls seem to have an eating disorder than guys.
I am truly SORRY and I was not trying to be funny or to make fun of you - I Promise.
Please just take what I said and put it in the place of trying to become a MAN - it still will effect you in the same way.

You have asked for advice and support. Others who have struggles of their own tried to give you that. The least that you can do is respect them. It gets very frustrating for everyone here when someone asks for advice and then won't get help. We are not doctors, and the best that we can do is tell you that you need to talk to a doctor, and to your parents. If it is easier, you can start by talking to your school counselor. But we can't do any more than tell you to get help.

BTW, you need to tell the same doctor about all of the symptoms that you have. On this site you have mentioned quite a few. They all go together. It is common for people with eating disorders also to have depression, self-injury, etc. They are all unhealthy ways to try to deal with (or escape from) the same problem. But it doesn't solve anything, and we can't fix any of those symptoms for you. You have to talk to your parents and go to a doctor or therapist.

Tell us more about yourself. What has your life been like so far? Do you get along with your parents? How about brothers or sisters? How do you do in school? What do you like? Any interests or hobbies? Friends? That sort of stuff would be a lot more interesting than just hearing about your symptoms.

Rapunzel

[sniffles]

I agree with rapunzel and darkeyes on this one. in order for us to respect you as a person, you must be open and completely honest with us. I've read some of your posts, and seen what others have responded with. Everyone here is trying to help you. But what has already been said, is that we are NOT doctors, therapists, p-docs, and professionals. We are everyday people, with our own problems, who have come here to support one another through rough times, and we aim to try to help people and encourage them to get help when they are in need of it. We can't do more than to ask you to get the help that you seem to need. Please don't get mad at us for trying to help you out. You're the one that asked for our opinions and support and help. We are doing the best we can to give you what you need, but we can only do so much for you. As rapunzel said, it does get frustrating, when we're doing what we can for someone, and yet they won't do anything for themselves, to get better and pull themselves out of this rut. You need to talk to someone more experienced with these kinds of things, than we. We can all share our experiences with you and tell you how we've come to deal with rough times, and give you advice on what to do to help, but when it comes down to it, it is utimately your doctor who can advise you as to the best course of treatment to follow. Please get the help that you need and please get it soon.

lukey please listen to all of us here! You are so young. This disease does not go away on its own, it will only get worse if you let it. The way you think you look is just that, WHAT YOU THINK, no one else does. Please go see a doctor. I waited until I was told, I either had to start eating or I was going to die. Don't let it come to that. If you need to go away somewhere to get things together than do it! PM me if you need the names of some places but do something now dont wait a minute longer!

Shannon

[domino]

well I will have to apologise too for thinking that you were a girl. I wrote to you on another discussion earlier on. It doesn't make any difference if your a boy or girl you still need to stop what your doing to yourself.

have a nice day

[Milanist]

First of all there is a difference between being heavy and being fat! Although if you are fat you are heavy, it does not mean just because you are heavy that you are fat!

That was just one point! now you are nither fat nor heavy! Why are you doing this to yourself? You have changed your way of tought that you are seeing yourself fat even though you are not!!! You need to eat something or you will not make it to 15! I dont mean to be drastic but its true!

Your body cant work with 100calories a day, not even when you where a baby let alone now! Even if you think you burn more than 100 calories a day!!

Take control of your situation and do the right thing! Btw there is no need to get angry at anyone at home trying to help you and nither with us! We are telling you this so that you will live a healty life!

Remember you are still growing up and if your body does not find the resourses to help you grow you will be in serious trouble!

Take care of yourself cause if you dont, who will?

[Soidhonia]

Hello I hope you are dooing well at this time. If you do not eat you will not lose weight the body will slow down to adjust to the minimum food intake. If you go to the American Diabetes Association website there are siets there that can help you control the weight in a healthy manner whild still consuming a moderate amount of calories, if you look under hypoglycemia, there should be a diet there that will let you eat more times a day and less calories per meal. I am on this diet and it helps to lose and maintain weight, BUT you must follow the diet to lose and maintain the weight. I am going to leave you my email if you have any questions neohiodbsa@yahoo.com. Email anytime Sincerely Soidhonia
