Answer 1

You are in good health ur height and weight is perfect with ur age. Don't stress, just maintain urself where u r but the healthy way. Eating right!

Answer 2

Being anorexic is just a cry for attention. Look in the mirror and obviously you're not fat so don't ask questions about being anorexic. It's not that hard to just eat food, 10 years from now you will look back at this and think wow how could I be so stupid so go eat a 500 calorie hamburger right now and you will feel a lot better.
Nobody cares if you think you're fat and obviously you want people to think highly of you so let them do that by showing them that you don't care and you can do whatever the hell you want. Don't go see a shrink because they are not telling you anything that you don't already know, allright? Just get over it. You don't need to lose weight either because you are only 13 years old and you need all the weight you can get during your teenage years or else when you are old you will be a weird hunchback because you didn't drink enough milk while you were growing.

Answer 3

If you are 13, 5'7" and 120 pounds, you do NOT need to lose weight, in a healthy way or not. YOu need to start counselling now to try to head off a relapse. Good luck.

You don't have to do it alone. People who understand and can relate to you face to face can help at a tough time. Don't wait until you do relapse and you have to start from the beginning, as I'm sure you've worked very hard to overcome your eating disorder. But doing it alone is both dangerous and a lot of hard work when there are people who are willing to help! Best of luck to you!

Also, 5'7 and 120 lbs is perfect. Don't lose weight, I'm sure you're beautiful. :)

Answer 5

Well with that ratio, you definitely do not need to lose weight. If you can't take my word for it, click here --> http://www.seventeen.com/health-sex-fitness/bmi-calculator/ or get reassurance by a doctor. Try to be confident with yourself. As you already know, anorexia is a major problem. I'm sure you don't want to go through it again, so the best thing to do is to talk to someone, such as a best friend or a parent. It's normal for every teenage girl to worry about their physical appearance, but if your parent/friend thinks it sounds like something more serious, they can try to help you and get you professional help before it starts again.

Answer 6

i obsess about what i weigh, look, and what im eating, but i obsess about being healthy. Try that for a change...... What you put into your body, effects how u look. Put in a bunch of healthy stuff and your going to look really healthy, and feel healthy. Starve yourself, and eat like shlt , you will look like shlt. and everyone will notice. you are already at a perfect weight. but just keep paying attention to what you are eating and count calories dont go over or under 1300 a day.

Answer 7

Don't isolate yourself. Isolation leads to dwelling on your weight appearance. Get out with friends and family especially for meals and just as importantly the hours after a meal so that you're not tempted to get rid of it. If you need to don't hesitate to talk to a professional about the thoughts.

Answer 8

Talk about it! How did you recover the first time?
Talk to your Mom or Dad and tell them you're afraid of a relapse They'll get you the help you need!

Answer 9

first off im in the medical field and i see lots of young girls or even older women that have anorexia or have had it. i recommend you look at the health risk of doing this to your body. the side effects later on in life is not worth trying to stay skinny to impress the opposite sex. you do need to seek professional help if the condition continues because it can be fatal.

Answer 10

I would suggest to speak with your doctor because they can monitor you the whole way through and give you the best treatment that will work for you.
