YES! It is serious. Especially now that your periods have stopped. You need to start eating and get help. You can cause serious health problems by doing this to your body.

Yes. That Is Certainly NOT Normal. You Should Be Eating Around 1600-2000 Calories A Day. An Apple Has Around 50kcal. At This Rate Your Body Will Waste Away, Probably Why your Periods Have Stopped. Please, See Someone, A Doctor Perhaps.

You are underweight and your body is reacting to it by your periods stopping. Eating one apple a day and one more piece of fruit is not enough to sustain your body. You need to eat breakfast every morning and that can be a piece of fruit if you choose eat a light lunch and a light dinner but you do need to gain some weight.

yeh sorry but you are. I'm going through a similar experience as you, although i do eat more. I know its hard and you may not want to but you need to go to the doctor who will advise you on how to improve your eating habits. I know what its like, part of you will not want to go in fear of being made to be fat but you've got to ignore that and trust your conscience, really we all know it wrong and not enough to eat. i've been there and everyone os really understanding and helpful
i hope this helps, keep me posted on your progess

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You think there's nothing wrong but there is, this is not natural. Why do you do it?
Is it because you want to be thin? Is it because you hate food? You've got to remember that your heart works all the time, your lungs work all the time, your muscles work for as long as you move, your brain is working all the time, your glands, organs... Everything!!! That's why your period has stopped. If you don't want to suffer organ failure then you HAVE TO start eating properly. What do you value more, your life or the fact that you don't have to do something you don't want to do. You've got to lots of things you don't want to do in life, and whether you want to or not you MUST eat properly!

i have always woundered how many celebrties one needs to read about dieing in thier 20s from heart failure due to anerexia before people learn that weight isn't everything, and self destructive behavior will eventualy get you...
I guess at 15 your mid twenties seem like a long away and death from heart failure a not-so-adnormal abstration...

you are at least 20lbs under weight, not good! Yes you are anorexic, you need to fix this problem before it gets worse! Talk to your parents right away and find out how you can start eating right!

three months ago you asked if you were fat at 5'5" and 111 lbs... so if you have grown an inch and lost 13 lbs in 3 months at your age and size i would definately say that you are underweight.
