125lbs at 5'8" sounds like an excellent weight. I can understand your feelings, though. At your age I was thinking it was an easy way to be skinny. Anorexia is not a diet, though. It's a eating disorder and a mental illness. The over eating comes from denying yourself food in the first place. If you find a sense of accomplishment in not eating, try giving yourself another healthier goal. For example, try being a vegan. It pretty much guarantees you'll be eating healthy and you will lose weight. Plus, it is difficult to maintain and takes planning and sacrifice. Starving yourself is a very counterproductive way to lose weight. You metabolism drops and you get so tired you can't do anything - not to mention that it can kill you! Healthy eating and exercise - sorry short cuts just don't last. Good Luck!

Anorexia is a mental disorder. It would be more sensible to eat healthy but low fat so that you will have well-rounded nutrition and complete your development into an adult. Skin and bones isn't chic. The tabloids point out when an actress is too thin (Melissa Lockhart(?), Nicole Richey) and it's viewed as sickly looking not chic. If you decide to become bulemic - look for a dentist first - you'll need your teeth repaired from the acidic vomiting. Wait until you're much older to become anorexic - you won't have the fast metabolism then and you'll need to stop eating. Good Luck and Healthy Eating!!!

First of all I think that what you are doing right now is looking for attention. You are like people who say that they are gonna commit suicide. All you are doing is looking for someones attention. If you were going to be anorexic then you would not ponder it or discuss it with other people you would do it and not want anyone to know about it. If you want attention bad enough then go see a shrink. They will give you all the attention you need and possibly even some medication to help you out. You really do need help. And I hope that someday you get that help before you start cutting yourself or some other amazingly stupid thing that will end up hurting you more than you think. GOOD LUCK.

The problem with anorexia is not with being thin. The problem is when you already are thin, and you want to be thinner, and thinner and thinner. They call girls that are too thin, "anorexic" but that's not true. You need to eat to stay alive. Eating then vomiting is very dangerous to your system.
There is not really a problem with being thin, and it's in style. The problem is with being obsessed by anything, in your case you might be obsessed with being thin. That is not mentally healthy and could end up making you not physically healthy.
I personally prefer the thin look if it's natural, like Asian girls tend to be thinner, but it looks normal. An african american skinny girl just doesn't look right to me. Also if your husband doesn't like that you are getting thinner, it's disrespectful to try to lose weight, and it's an insult to his taste in women.
Also I might add that in these times of trouble it might be a good survival skill to have a few pounds on you so if there is famine or extreme cold weather you will survive.

I know how you feel. I wish I was thinner. I am 5'1 and weigh 100 lbs . I used to weigh 87 but I am 40 so I guess that's why I gained weight. I would love to be skin and bones, with clothes hanging on like I am a hanger. I can't stop eating either. I wish I could eat less and lose 10 lbs.

Sorry weird and skinny. Eat some food. We really don't like skinny girls. It's a myth made up by the media. Hope this is enough attention for you.

Sounds like you already have bulimia. Eating disorders are products of unhealthy minds and lead to death if not stopped. I've taken care of patients who were nothing but bones with skin stretched over top of them. They got so thin that they couldn't even lift their arms anymore. And yes they died.
It isn't chic, it's disgusting to look at and dangerous. You should ask your parents for professional counseling on this before you end up killing yourself. Not only does the outside of the body lose weight, the insides lose it too, like your heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and brain.

From a guys point of view:::: Dont!!!! Me and my friends all like a women who take care of themselves, and not getting enough nutrition is not healthy. Be proud of 5'8 125lbs, thats an awesome frame. After you eat and let your food digest try exercising. It speeds your metabolism and believe me that full feeling wont be their for long. try sinking those ana feelings into something constructive like fitness. Look at it like your eating to fuel yourself for a better workout. Remember healthier foods dont contain msg's that make you feel like a beached whale either

Ok... That is a horrible idea
no guy in their right mind finds anorexics attractive, although if you want to be skinny try long distance running, that is a healthy way to get into the shape that you want and you will feel accomplished while doing it, not starved and unhealthy

You sound like you are at a perfect height/weight for your age. You can't "become" anorexic, anorexia is a disease, you are thinking of Bulemia, and that is not for you, it will rot you teeth, and it could burn holes in your esophagus. If you don't like the feeling of being full, eat smaller meals throughout the day, kinda like grazing. You won't get full and you will stay healthy.
