Answer 1

first of all, relax.
Your metabolism is going to be fast due to your age. What I'd do start eating healthier like salads, and whole grain oats. The better you eat the better you'll look. Start with oatmeal in the morning, eat salads, fibers, brown rice, fish, and green beans.
I'd start doing cardio. Maybe a jog for 15-20 minutes a day. Play a sport.

I'm a medical student.... and let me tell you the medical truth:
IF you wanna loose weight and look better, you HAVE TO eat. You can eat as much as you want, but you have to eat healthy. Anorexia will give you diseases like Marasmus (calorie defieciency), and Kasiowori (can't spell it) which is a deficiency of proteins, and makes ur belly swell. You don't want that.....TRUST ME.

PS: Happy Birthday, your a teenage!

Ok, you are going to extrems and that is a bad thing to do you went all the way to super skinny to a bit bigger. Shoot for weighing no less then 90 lb or you will be back in the other extreme. Being too big is too bad and being too tiny is also bad im your age 5"3 and exactly 100 lb so im just right. And from 110 to 90 or 85 lb is a hudge difference focus on getting down to 105 lb and see how you feel, maybe you'll like how you look at that weight. But at 80 lb you'll be a bit on the thin side so dont go there. You have to stop eating junk food and eat healthy , if you just stop eating you'll gain all the weight back anyays and get a bigger belly so don't do it. And run or jog at least a mile a day to keep healthy. Dont be too hard on yourself appreciate what you do have and feel good in yourskin and love yourself the way you are now first.
p.s. I love all those foods you had listen if you want to loose a few you have to force yourself to love it, its better then forceing yourself to starve.

Answer 4

You will be underweight at 90 pounds not 77. I have been anorexic for 19 years. I have nothing in my life that I ever wanted to have. I have been hospitalized over a dozen times and I once spent 14 months (away from family) in residential treatment. Do not go back to being ill.

You are at a perfect weight right now. I hope you are still working with a dietitian and therapist. Speak to someone about your thoughts before it is too late.

Answer 5

Eeks, stop! I'm 13 right now, and I'm 4'7". Let me tell you this, I'm 73 lbs and underweight. WAY underweight. You are NOT fat in any way, and I think you're lucky. It's not fun being this skinny, I'm trying to gain weight. You're 12, don't worry about it! Just get daily exercise and try to eat healthy and don't worry about your weight until later. You have more important things to worry about at your age.
