Am I really that crazy??
Hello I will first tell you a little bit about my back round. I am 16 years old I'm 5'0'' and I weigh 120.95 pounds. So am I really that crazy to need to loose 40 lbs? I want to be skinny. When I was younger I was always so tiny all the way up till middle school then I gained weight and I'm not happy. I NEEEEEED to loose 40 pounds! Is that really such a bad idea? Why do people keep telling me that its unrealistic? If it's something I really want and something I really need then why is it so bad. I'm working so hard at exercising at least 3 hours a day and not eating more than 200 calories a day, sometimes none at all and I'm starting to loose weight. I've already lost 5 pounds so what's wrong with another 40. It would make me feel so good and it would make everyone else around me so happy because they would finally have me really skinny again and we would all love it especially me. So am I really that crazy for wanting to be happy and satisfied with my body?

I have to tell you that starving yourself will only make you skinny at first, but then it will make you gain weight. When you deprive your body of the nutrients and calories it needs, it thinks that food is scarce so it slows your metabolism down and stores fat, eating away at your muscles and organs instead. You can be happy and satisfied with your body without starving yourself. It doesn't matter what other people say or think. Please try to not starve yourself, it is a terrible road to go down and very difficult to stop.

CountryMusicGurl,

You're not crazy, a lot of women feel the way that you do wanting to lose just X more pounds. But you are being unrealistic. 80 pounds is too small for anybody unless you are a child, which you are not. Exercising three hours a day is excessive unless you're an athlete and taking in enough calories to energize yourself for that long. And eating 200 calories a day max is insane, a starvation diet is 900 calories a day. You're well on your way to developing anorexia, if you haven't already. I would suggest you pull out fast before you get so involved you no longer have a say.

We can all be happy with our bodies without having to become unhealthy in our thinking, weight and body image. It just takes work and therapy for most.

You probably already know all this though since you are posting in the e.d. forum. I just hope you can see the perilous position you are in and get help before it's too late.

Love and Hugs,
Tara

Tara,
Thanks so much for the advice. Part of me knows your right but the other half of me is telling me who cares I need to loose that last 40 pounds no matter what it takes. I always tend to lean towards the side of me that says I don't care I will do anything to make my body the way I want it and the way that would acceptable to me and right now my body is not acceptable what so ever. I'm sure exscally what to do at this moment in time but I wanted to say thank you for replying.
Love,
