I am 13, and I think I have an eating disorder. I`ve been restricting and fasting for a few months now, and its just getting bad. I`ve also been throwing up for almost 3 months. Last week I didnt eat for 6 days straight.
I feel better when i`m not full, and i`m even afraid to eat vegetables.
And now I`m trying to keep my calorie intake under 100 a day.
Will I lose weight?
Please don`t judge..

What you're doing is not healthy and may actually cause your body to gain weight - your body is going to go into "starvation mode" and it's going to take the fat from everything you eat and store it.
I'm not judging, I'm just worried.
There are definitely much more healthy ways to lose weight - and don't worry, I definitely understand having body-image issues (I just like food too much to fast!)
It sounds like you have an eating disorder, hun, but I'm not a doctor. Although it may sound tough, you should probably talk to your parents about it. They can get you the professional help that you need to feel better about yourself.
Good luck. =)

yes, my dear you have gotten yourself into a mess that will rot your teeth, kill your hair, bones, nails,teeth,etc. You must be hiding this problem, because three months is a very long time for this type of behavior, you know. 30 days makes a habit and this habit , you must get under control either by yourself or you may need some hospital help, yes that is possible. At this point in your disease you could start passing out for the first time at school, by the same time next month you'll give your parents a bleeding ulcer, because YOU COULD DIE, if you let this go on the way it is. You were strong enough to start this bad habit, be strong enough to quit it out, NOW, before permanent damage is done to your throat , stomach,bones,etc. Save yourself from all the yelling your family is gonna give you when they find out. You can do it, just try, my dear. If you get sick, eat soup for starter, then move up. Remember what your mom did when you had the stomach flu;1st couldn't eat, then broth, after that oat meat,so on and so forth.

Sweet heart, Skinny isnt beautiful, Healthy is beautiful. Look in the news now a days, and see how they are finally cracking down on all those skinny models. It will eventually kill you if you dont eat, or even worse living with anorexia. You should be eating at least 4-5 times a day, if not more. Getting normal excersise at least 3 times a week will help burn calories, and you can eat all u want. You are only 13 and your body is still growing, and if you dont keep it healthy at this point your going to have medical problems for the rest of your life.....Its a life decision. You need to seek help.

You say don't judge but you are asking for an opinion and that requires a judgement be made. Your eating habits sound out of control. In order to survive you have to feed your body. It's really sad that at 13 you feel so badly about yourself that you have began these eating habits. You say you feel better not full. You're right. Overeating is uncomfortable but you have to eat. 100 calories isn't even a piece of cheese. You can't survive on that even if you are making good food choices. And to tell you the truth fasting is even worse. when you fast especially for 6 days at a time like you say sends your body into starvation mode so when you do eat it panicks and stores every bit of what you ate. You need some serious help dear. Talk to your mom and GET TO A DOCTOR.

Yes, you have an eating disorder. No, you wont lose weight because when you restrict your body to an unnaturally low amount of calories, your body goes into starvation mode and holds on to every calorie as fat to help you survive. Please talk to a therapist or a doctor about this, and if you actually do need to lose weight, which judging from this post I am assuming you dont, they can help you set up a healthy plan.

Let me just tell you that you are leading a very unhealthy life right now. You really need to start eating. When you don't eat enough, your body goes into reserve mode and you end up storing EVERYTHING as fat because your body is afraid it won't have enough food for energy. So, you will end up getting a belly like an ethiopian. Please don't do this to yourself and if you can't stop, then you need to ask someone around you for help. You are beautiful the way you are. Don't try and be skinnier, its not worth it.

OMG. Under 100 calories a day? You are VERY ill. Why haven't your parents gotten you into treatment?? You should be eating 1,000 calories a day at your age. You are messing up your body big time. You are bulimic.
Get help NOW. Before you die. People die all the time from anorexia and bulimia.

Not judging you, but i think you might have an eating disorder, but you shouldn't get a diagnosis from here you should go to a doctor before you hurt yourself. I hope the best for you.

Are you throwing up or fasting? Which is it? Because it cannot be both. Maybe you meant that you started out with one and are now doing another.
Bulimia gives you chronic bad breath, rots your teeth OUT and will not cause you to lose weight.
Anorexia causes chronic bad breath also, hair loss, complete lack of energy, and eventually your organs start to "feed" on themselves.95% of anorexics die from a heart attack.
Pretty sexy huh??????
I am not judging you. I have been where you are. You have severe self esteem issues, not a desire to truly be healthy.
PLEASE SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY! This disease is progressive and fatal-FATAL!
