I don't think that you're in a good position AT THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE to help yourself or to judge food rationally. I feel that your best course of action is to tell your parents that you have anorexia and bulimia and to get help from a professional nutritionist. Once established, anorexia and bulimia are almost addictive--they are VERY difficult habits to break! If you successfully break them now, then you stand a good chance of recovering your health and going on to lead a normal life. Otherwise, you've got a 20% chance of dying from that disease.
I wish you the best of luck in overcoming your illness. I'm glad that you wrote in to Yahoo Answers.

You have been losing about 2.2 pounds per week, which in itself is not an outlandish amount to be losing if you are following a decent lifestyle to get you to that goal.
What worries me is you say you are anorexic - but with the vomiting I might also suggest you are leaning towards bulimia as well if you keep this up. You must be eating something or in two months you would have lost more but since we don't know what you weigh thats hard to tell here.
What are your parents saying about this??? You really need to sit down with them and discuss this and tell them your fears and concerns. They (or you) can then get you to the doctor and seek some medical advise. If you can't or don't want to talk with your parents then talk with the school counsellor. But talk to someone and get YOURSELF back in control.

stop losing weight now!! First stabilise your weight and then you'll see. What you are doing is very dangerous. Try to eat pasta, cheese, ice cream, things you like and are delicious. Don't throw up afterwards. If you can't help it, see a dotor and tell your parents about the problem.

you need to help yourself. first answer to your question, it's food that you need to eat (obviously that's what our body needs to live). the problem is, you can't control yourself wanting to lose pounds due to anorexia. the best solution is to seek help from a doctor. they know best for conditions like that. but again you have to help yourself. start within your inner self, your phsycological and emotional status is critical in any eating disorder especially in anorexia cases. you're too young and it's not too late to make things right especially to your health. try to relax yourself and just eat without pressuring yourself to puke or not to eat. you're punishing your body and it doesn't deserve to be treated that way. I know it's not your body and not mine but i hope you'll realize that you're putting yourself in danger and alot of our folks here wants to help and save you even for just a simple word that we can share.
take care of yourself.

Please stop doing that.. and read a lot on the damages that can cause on your health, I was like you whne i was a teenager but no one told me I will suffer that much.... First it causes lots of health problems , with your stomach then if you keep on puking you'll ahve throat problems not to mention the demages on your teeth... the acid from the stomacvh will attack and destroy them ... I have to spend a lot of money on stomatology services today because once i was too stupid... So please take care of you....

FIrst, go to www.mercola.com and see what he has to say about nutrition and dieting and anorexia. Secondly, if you cant go see him, get a counselor or someone who can help you!

perhaps a support group would help, its a difficult condition and one answer isnt right for everyone. But try to eat small balanced meals that won't make you 'fat' but will help stabilise your weight to a healthy level.
