I'm so sorry that you are in so much pain, and experiencing so much body dissatisfaction that you would be willing to consider this. I highly recommend finding some support in your area (a therapist, group, etc) and talking about what is making you so unhappy. Below is a link for a therapist search. Good luck. You shouldn't have to feel so badly.

Don't, that would be really stupid. This is a list of things that could happen:

-you could be hospitalized
-you will get sick more often
-it will screw up you metabolism
-your muscles will get weaker
-your bones will get weaker
-your energy will go down, and you will gain weight
-it's a psycological condition that takes a long time to recover from
-you will have a higher risk of getting heart disease
-your grades will drop
-you will be too weak to do anyting with your friends
-you could pass out some where dangerous, and have horrible things happen to you, like falling down stairs, someone finding you passed out on the street, kidnapping you...

What makes you think it is a safe thing to do? It's easier to go on a diet than it is to be anorexic anyways. Someone very close to me was anorexic for a while, it is almost impossible to hide it. If you were doing it for attention or as punishing yourself, I would say seek a counselor. If you were doing it to lose weight, I would say talk to a doctor.

How to be an anorexic:
First, practice focusing on yourself. Analyse your body's every flaw and criticize it. Under no circumstance should you develop an appreciation for how you were made and the inherent beauty of You. If you can manage to find a bit of fat on your body, make sure to focus on it in the most degrading terms you can--call yourself names.

Demand perfection of yourself. Just because everyone else is average is no reason YOU should be! The stress of expecting perfection will enhance the lack of health you are pursuing--give it your all.

You have it all wrong about food. Any anorexic worth her salt will tell you that you must by all means measure, analyze and obsess on how much and what kind of food you eat, and always look back and kick yourself for every mis-bite.

There are many ways to hide anorexia from prying parents that would seek medical treatment or counseling for you. It is important in this pursuit to remain committed to your self-focus. What concern is it of yours if they have to bury their child? Why should you care if they are thrown in jail for criminal neglect? If they want to throw their money away trying to help a critical ill you, why should that distract you? Just keep the focus on YOU and you'll be well on your way to enjoying the tortured life of those with eating disorders.

Good luck!

Look, i've struggled with anorexia for years. It's not something to be glamorized and absolutely nothing you want to partake in. It is entrenching, things that were important are no longer a priority, life is meaningless, and you go through every day just going through the motions. I've put my family and friends through hell because by the time they found out it was too late to stop. It is not just a way to lose a few pounds. And in no way will it keep your mind off food, actually you will now be obsessing over it.

u want what???
You really know whats behind it. Why you say does things? how old are you? Anorexia its not only being skinny, you get a lot of health problems, as you dont take vitamins nor proteins that your body needs, you became more risky about having any sickness.
You will look horrible, cos its not a natural way of loosing weight and you notice when you see does girls. No boy, (and believe me when i tell you this) like those girls.
If your idol are super -models, let me tell you that one girl from my school is a model, and YES SHE HAS ANOREXIA, She was really pretty , and lot of boys liked her, but when they saw her again, oww they say she has lost everything. Look at one fashion week and you will c that all girls look the same, just head.
The super models?? They aint that skinny, look who has succeed. Gisele Bunchen, Laetitia Casta, Naomi. They are all healthy, skinny but healthy.
If you want to be slim great, but do sports, eat more healthy, you will get great results, look great, and the most important YOU WILL BE HEALTHY.
Lot of girls have die from anorexia, its something that you will never get over, you can recover, but not be over. And there is one thing for sure or you recover or you are over.
search in Internet about all the risk and you will c.

First of all, you probably should talk to your doctor because wanting to be anorexic is not a healthy lifestyle. After consulting your doctor, tell him/her your concerns about food. Perhaps you have food on your mind all the time because you are not eating the right foods. But I before you do anything, please, consult with your doctor. This is a health issue for you, and although you don't want to tell your parents, you really should.

don't worry about some of these rude (rather temperamental) answers.

its normal to be concerned about body issues, but anorexia is never a solution to anything.

did you know models are so anorexic they can't menstruate properly?
and they take pills and drugs to make their skin perfect and hair grow faster.
nicotine and coke are popular in the industry cuz they make you boney.
the camera adds like, 20lbs so in real life, models look frightening!

don't be anorexic, its MUCH more attractive to have some fat and meat! seriously.

what are you talking about. No you dont want to be anorexic. You think you do but you dont. You have this thing in your mind telling you are fat and ppl are saying how skinning you are but you dont belive them. Trust me thank God that you are not anorexic. Eat as much as you want.
