Answer 1

Sandy,

Anorexia is a serious eating disorder. You need to notify a family member, a guidance counselor, or any other adult that will take this as serious as it should be taken. You also need to consult a dietitian. They will suggest to you HEALTHY ways of eating to maintain or lose weight. Sticking to a healthy diet and eating five or so small meals a day can also get you tremendous results. Eating so little will lead to malnutrition and most possibly death if left untreated.

Answer 2

Being annorexic is very bad for your body, for many reasons too. If you're doing it for weight or looks reasons, think of these things.

The first type of weight you are going to lose is water weight. This can come and go daily. It will also show a huge weight loss in the first week or so (think of the difference between a wet and dry towel), but our bodies are filled with water, which does a lot for the body. Water helps regulate salt, potassium, and other chemical balances. Water gives the muscles the size and stability it needs to function properly. It helps transfer nutrients and prevent dehydration, which can kill you. It does a lot of other good stuff for us too.

A lack of food robs the body of nutrition, which you need to function. You may feel fine now, but you likely won't after doing this for a long time. The body will burn off some of its stores, but after a while, it will turn to survival mode because it doesn't know when it will get its next meal. This means you will slow down or practically stop your metabolism. At that point, you won't lose any more weight, or you'll be past that point, and your body will start to shut down, resulting in death.

Eventually you will lose your energy and good feelings because of a lack of nutrition and water. You'll exhaust yourself trying to always do more than your body will let you. The point is, you are going to do harm if you continue being annorexic. It's a disease, and you should get help for it before it is too late.

Almost forgot, another downside (and there are more than just the few I mentioned), all that purging will erode your esophogus because it is stomach acid coming up a pipe it's not supposed to. It's hard to reverse that effect too. Seriously look into this before you continue. Talk to professionals, or those who have gone through this, and hopefully you'll see that there is nothing positive about this disease. If you want results, take the healthy approach and learn to eat right and exercise. You'll feel better and your body will thank you.

That is very bad honey!
Please start eating a normal healthy diet.
I've seen a person I love very dearly get very sick from an eating disorder.
Sooner or later you will become malnourished, you can become vitamin deficient, and anemic. Which can cause to get dizzy, black out, pass out etc. Without all essential vitamins, your teeth and bones will become fragile, your blood may stop correctly clotting. Among many other things.
Just start eating healthy and if you want to lose weight, exercise!
Also 5 noodles aren't filling you up, that's all physiological.
Hope I helped.

Don't keep doing this! You need to tell someone immediatly! I've been dealing with anorexia for a couple of months and the reason you feel so full is because your stomach has shrunk. Eat regular amounts of food (even more than you need) to make your stomach expand. This is not a healthy way to life your life at all.

Answer 5

ok..at leest ur eating. but you shouldn't be doing that. your body needs food to maintain you happy,with energy, functioning, and most importantly:alive. if you think that you are fat, then you should try to eat a balanced diet that cuts down on fats&sugars. you might not think that anerexia is bad now...ur probly getting skinnier and "prettier", but it CAN take over you, even if you don't want it to.please becareful

Answer 6

thank you for the compliment however the names catluva. you think of you have it undesirable? Do you have any theory what style of trama is led to once you get woken up by way of a swat team shoving a gun on your face by using fact they kicked interior the incorrect door? If undesirable issues basically happen to good human beings then I may be the friggin pope XP

Answer 7

yeah anorexia is bad for your body. but if your naturally skinny, such as genetics (your parents) and your healthy it's alright. but if your doing it to your body by under eating and exercising too much and your just skin and bones it's bad. it has a harsh impact on your internal organs.

Answer 8

Yes you can die if you get too skinny. Here is a real pic to show you a really skinny person:

Answer 9

Honey, I don't care how happy you are, you are destroying your body and you are SICK. Tell your parents. Tell a friend or a guidance counselor. You need help now, before you do permanent damage to your body.

please stop as soon as possible because your whole body will deteriorate.
