okay,
youve got lectures from EVERYONE... so ill spare you =)
i know whatever i say wont make you change your mind about anorexia,
if your already anorexic, well theyre gunna notice soon enough! but if you WANT to go anorexic,... please dont, its not nice you end up with NOOOOOO energy... ok, enough lecturing...
try eating small portions, drink a lot of water while your eating it will make your fuller faster, have a teaspoon of vinegar before you eat,it will take your appetite away
chew your food... a lot.. chewing more 1) takes longer for you to eat, therefore people dont notice your not eating as much as them
2) the more you chew, the more signals it sends to your brain to tell you that your full
eat small bites at a time, shift food around on your plate to make it seem like the food has been eaten,
talk a lot with people at the table - you can't eat while your talking

dont go too far, when people start noticing, then it gets serious, just do those things i told you for that dinner...

You need to talk to your parents instead of hiding things from them. They would probably be very upset to think of you going through this on your own. They love you & will support you, please talk to them. If you are genuinely overweight then attempting to starve yourself is not the way forward. Healthy eating & exercise is. I'm sure your parents will help you if you do need to lose weight.

Stop doing it. If you're not happy with your body,there are other ways to slim down. Anorexia will not only complicate your brain function,but it will give you gastrointestinal problems as well. Tell your parents to help you sign up for a program at the nearest curves in your area. Try going to a youth counselor at a local church. Find out how discreet thay are and if you can,get a diet buddy that you can count on when things get tough. I believe that depresion has a lot to play with when it comes to eating disorders. Talk to someone. Start taking vitamins. I should not say this,but if you make tea out of marijuana,that should increase your apetite. Make sure someone knows about your condition,please.

you shouldnt it is probably best to get it out in the open and talk about (a lot easier said than done i know) but it will harm a persons health if the cycle of behaviour is ongoing

I wouldnt say there are is a 'best' time to talk about it but at dinner i would not think that would be one...There are lots of people that go through the same thing that you do and there are places you can speak to people about that kind of thing through with but the I think the best enviroment for you to do that with is the a person you feel comforable with.Your parents love you and I hope they would give you the support to get through this and i would also hope you feel you could talk to them.A good start would be your G.P as they have alot of contacts and not only that you would feel safe in the knowledge that they cant discuss with your parents what you feel (if you feel you cant talk to them).

Anorexia is not the way to loose weight,just ask for smaller ammounts of food that way you will loose weight.

Stop killing yourself and PUT ON WEIGHT!
If you are just losing weight, that's NOT anorexia.
I don't know the conversion from 9st 10 to 'pounds' here in the US so I can't say if you really are overweight...but there is a huge difference between wanting to diet and being anorexic. You would NOT be overweight if you are anorexic-you'd be skin and bones already! Please talk to a doctor or at least look up the right definition on-line or WebMD or something.

im sorry 2 say but anorexia isnt the way to loose weight. it can kill u. u should try losing weight the normal way, healthy diet and exercize. and if u dont want ur parents to find out about it, dont do it

dont hide it!#@#$

this wont work, because youll have to eat enough eventually or youll die. and then usually, when you do eat, youll quicky gain the weigh back and weigh a lot more than you did before. id say dont be anorexic.... eat, then burn it off at the gym. wtf happened to exercise??? is that not an option? i noticed now people just want things to happen, without any work. if your not skinny naturally it takes work. go to the gym.

if you really want advice for that... id say act like youre moody and dont want to be around anyone and eat your meals in your room, grab snacks once in a while and take them with you and just throw them away (so it looks like you eat all the time not just when given food) mimic eating.

You need help and you need it fast! Anorexia is a serious condition. You have to realize that you need proper nutrition! Please talk to someone you trust and get help now! All you have to do is achieve a normal weight and maintain it. Stay healthy and develop a positive attitude toward life. You are important and your loved ones want you healthy and happy. Please get help now!

Speak now you know you wont be able to avoid it.

Anorexia is an illness NOT a diet its better that you talk to them about how you feel and maybe go to the doctors or get professional help before your illness spirals out of control. There are other ways of keeping you weight at a healthy level. Eating and regular exercise is one of them. I think you really sound like you need someone to guide you.

You don't stop your parents from finding out you need help. Through a doctor's care. You should go read up on Anorexia and see how serious it really is.

I think the best way is not to hide it, but to talk to them properly about it. That way, if you want to lose weight you can talk to them about a sensible diet, and they can monitor it, so you all get something out of it; instead of this turning into a painful secret.

Turning to anorexia to lose weight is a bad idea. Anorexia is a serious medical problem and not just a fix to lose weigh fast. If you want to lose weight you need to do it in a healthy way and let your parents know. Talk to them about taking you to see a dietician or a nutritionist. These people will help you figure out what you can and can't eat and they can monitor you to make sure you are staying healthy as you lose weight. A tip on losing some weight is to cut out all sweet stuff, cut way back on portion sizes. Eat whole grain bread, pasta, and stuff, and eat lots of vegetables and cut down on salts too. Please don't turn to anorexia, or if you already are having a problem with anorexia let your parents know so they can help you. They will support you. You might even talk to a friend or another adult you can trust about your weight issues. Talk to a counselor st school ( if you are still in school) or talk to your doctor about losing weight fast. Please get some help if you are anorexic. Being anorexic could cost you your life if you let it go too long. Let your parents know, or your doctor or someone you can trust know about how you are feeling.

Please I am begging you do not hide it. I have suffered from anorexia since I was 16 I am not 37. It is horrible. I have heart issues now. I know the feeling of wanting to lose the weight. There are safer ways. I wish someone would have known my problem years ago. Please if not for yourself than for your parents ask for help. How would they feel if something happened to you because of this? They might blame themselves for not knowing.

You dont just decide to get anorexia! Nobody who goes on a diet thinks they are going to get it and believe me if they knew what it was like they would never go on a diet in the first place. If you have anorexia it is impossible to hide in the end because you either end up in hospital or dead, tell your parents your problems instead of shutting them out so you can resolve the problem before it is too late. Remember also, losing weight too quickly and the majority put it back on quickly too.

Well, when they bury you, they will have to find out.
Why not use the love and care others have for you to help you get well instead of dying to be thin.
This is so sad. They probably suspect that you have an illness, if you don't eat.
People with anorexia get down to skeletons and STILL SEE themselves as fat and disgusting. It is a disorder of the head (your distorted veiw of what you look like and feel like) and a lot more dangerous (and unflattering) than a fat stomache. It is a form of self-hatred and denial.
It will kill you if you don't get help.
Please tell them you have a situation you need their help to fix.
Good luck.

You are not anorexic.
If you knew what anorexia was you would NOT want to be anorexic, it could kill you.

If you want to lose weight, discuss it with your parents.

Crash dieting is BAD FOR YOU.

keep hiding in the keyhole?

ok.. anorexia is not the solution.

You dont want to hide it from your parents. Talk to them and tell them to help you lose weight. Tell them to cook you low-fat and healthy meals. Exercise is very important. Try to get outside and do something everyday.

Weight Loss is a thing of the mind. You have to resist temptation of eating fatty foods. Train your mind to turn down burgers when theyre right in front of you, and to pick up a salad instead. Its hard, but if youre determined to lose weight, then you should be able to do it.

you dumbass
it had to be said
being anorexic just hurts your body
while you lose weight from not eating at all your body burns up your muscles and fat as well
so your getting weaker at the same time, its no use being light if u cant do anything from being to weak
talk to your parents and tell them your concerned about your weight and would like help
they arent going to be mad if you come out and ask for help btu anorexia could make them a bit angry for obvious reasons
alot more then just benig hungry can come from anorexia and i suggest you read up on it before you keep doing it
granted i have no idea how heavy 9 st is
but if your an average-slightly larger girl dont be stupid and stop eating
and if you are infact quite large work it off, diet properly, workout, and get enough sleep, sleep helps alot while trying to lose weight

You don't WANT your parents to find out you are anorexic. Anorexia is a dangerous disease and it can kill you. Love yourself and your body. If you think you might be a bit overweight talk to your parents or a professional about how to lose it safely. Safely doesn't mean quickly. My opinion on losing weight is just to cut back on sweets, and eating healthy food in smaller portions. I am curious about what you said about cuts and scratches on your belly. What is the cause of that? You seem to be panicking about losing weight quickly. Slow down. Be safe and love who you are.

Your parents need to know about this to get you help. This is potentially deadly.

Talk to someone about this, but take care losing weight. Do it slowly and it will stay off better, but other people may not think you are fat. Don't lose weight quickly, because when you start to eat properly again you put it all back on. There is no quick fix to losing weight and keeping it off, but if you feel so bad see your doctor for help.
Why do you have cuts and scratches on your tummy? Maybe exercise is all you need to tone up your muscles rather than dieting.
