You need to talk to your parents, or doctor. That's a heath risk that's not worth taking...and you've already taken it, so seek help asap...and btw, 14 and 115 pounds is totally healthy, you're growing and a diet isn't necessary unless your doctor suggests it...
My brother just turned 15, he's 120 pounds, 5 foot 6 and very skinny... so, I doubt you were even over weight...
get help sooner than later!
ps:Get it out of your head that you have to stop eating to lose weight.... fruits, veggies, salad, meats, soups...are all good and healthy for you...
chin up, good luck, and tell your parents!

Tell your parents, go see a doctor.
First of all, if you don't eat for a month you will die. I never ate breakfast or lunch because of school. I was always busy, then dinner came around and i wasn't that hungry. I started losing weight. School got out and i began to eat a lot, but get full really easily. My advise is to eat about as much as you can without throwing up, and eat as often as you can without throwing up. Eventually your stomach will grow. Because not eating, shrinks it.
First you need to see a doctor and you must have eaten something during the 3 months or you'd be dead. Your stomach has shrunk. Eat small meals several times a day slowly start eating more until you get to a regular portion.
Then eat the three bites..then a little bit later nibble on something else..little by little. Eat often as you can until you can increase the volume. Make a scrambled egg, eat a half a banana, cereal, toast..anything that's good for you. Take vitamins too. Your body needs nutrition that's why it is freaking out. Just little by little you will soon be back to normal again. Enjoy your food too..really "taste" it and savor it. Food is a good thing and you will enjoy it your whole life. 115 isn't really overweight at all. You will be fine, your body won't want to throw up anymore if you just do the little by little. Take care and grow up to be a strong and healthy man.
