Don't deny it!. You DO have anorexia!. You're starving yourself for a figure!. You are not fat at all!.
Anorexia does not mean you stop eating completely!.
EDIT: Considering the fact you're fourteen, I would hope you knew why anorexia is bad and does not work!.
1!. If you're going swimming and eating so little, I assure you, you probably will pass out!. Not exactly attractive to the guys!.
2!. Your body is STARVING!. When it starves, any new food you begin to eat is turned into fat!. Exactly what you don't want!.
3!. You're getting so far into it!.!.!.once you get too far, it's very hard to jump back to a normal life!.
EDIT2: Whoever said Anorexia = not eating is a moron!.
Anorexia is a disorder in which the person is striving for a certain figure by eating too little or even starving!. Just because you see someone eating does not mean they don't have anorexia!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Wow!. You realize that the average calorie intake is around 1,500 calories a day!. When you don't eat healthy your body goes into this bad mode!. If you cut carbohydrates out of your diet then your body goes into Protien Sparring, which produces ketones and can lead to Ketosis which can kill!. Cutting protiens from the diet leading to carbohydrate overloading and then all the carbs that you don't use right away get stored as fat!. Also when you cut carbs and eat a high protien diet you end up craving carbs and when you eat you gain all that weight plus some back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are in control of your own body!. I've lifted the wikipedia entry on consequences of anorexia!.
If you want to do something about it, please see a psychologist!.
Anorexia nervosa can put a serious strain on many of the body's organs and physiological resources, particularly on the structure and function of the heart and cardiovascular system, with slow heart rate (bradycardia) and elongation of the QT interval seen early on!. People with anorexia typically have a disturbed electrolyte balance, particularly low levels of phosphate, which has been linked to heart failure, muscle weakness, immune dysfunction, and ultimately death!. Those who develop anorexia before adulthood may suffer stunted growth and subsequent low levels of essential hormones (including sex hormones) and chronically increased cortisol levels!. Osteoporosis can also develop as a result of anorexia in 38-50% of cases, as poor nutrition leads to the retarded growth of essential bone structure and low bone mineral density!. Anorexia does not harm everyone in the same way!. For example, evidence suggests that the results of the disease in adolescents may differ from those in adults!.
Changes in brain structure and function are early signs of the condition!. Enlargement of the ventricles of the brain is thought to be associated with starvation, and is partially reversed when normal weight is regained!. Anorexia is also linked to reduced blood flow in the temporal lobes, although since this finding does not correlate with current weight, it is possible that it is a risk trait rather than an effect of starvation!.
Other effects may include the following:
* Extreme weight loss
* Body mass index less than 17!.5 in adults, or 85% of expected weight in children
* Stunted growth
* Endocrine disorder, leading to cessation of periods in girls (amenorrhoea)
* Decreased libido; impotence in males
* Starvation symptoms, such as reduced metabolism, slow heart rate (bradycardia), hypotension, hypothermia and anemia
* Abnormalities of mineral and electrolyte levels in the body
* Thinning of the hair
* Growth of lanugo hair over the body
* Constantly feeling "cold"
* Zinc deficiency
* Reduction in white blood cell count
* Reduced immune system function
* Pallid complexion and sunken eyes
* Creaking joints and bones
* Collection of fluid in ankles during the day and around eyes during the night
* Tooth decay
* Constipation
* Dry skin
* Dry or chapped lips
* Poor circulation, resulting in common attacks of 'pins and needles' and purple extremities
* In cases of extreme weight loss, there can be nerve deterioration, leading to difficulty in moving the feet
* Headaches
* Brittle fingernails
* Bruising easily
Psychological
* Distorted body image
* Poor insight
* Self-evaluation largely, or even exclusively, in terms of their shape and weight
* Pre-occupation or obsessive thoughts about food and weight
* Perfectionism
* Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
* Belief that control over food/body is synonymous with being in control of one's life
* Refusal to accept that one's weight is dangerously low even when it could be deadly
* Refusal to accept that one's weight is normal, or healthy
Emotional
* Low self-esteem and self-efficacy
* Intense fear about becoming overweight
* Clinical depression or chronically low mood
* Mood swings
Interpersonal and social
* Withdrawal from previous friendships and other peer-relationships
* Deterioration in relationships with the family
* Denial of basic needs, such as food and sleep
Behavioral
* Excessive exercise, food restriction
* Secretive about eating or exercise behavior
* Fainting
* Self-harm, substance abuse or suicide attempts
* Very sensitive to references about body weight
* Aggressive when forced to eat "forbidden" foodsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I have been were you are now!. At 14 I was 5' and weighed 86 pounds!. Your body needs at least 1000 calories a day in order to work properly!. If you take in less than that your body goes into starvation mode and holds on to every calorie you do eat and turns it into fat!. Try eating raw vegetables and low fat low carb foods!. I know its hard but it does work!. Exercise daily for at least 20 minutes!. Also if you want to look them up there are foods called negative calorie foods that actually help you lose weight because the body burns more calories digesting them than then actually contain!. Apples are a prime example!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well, first of all!.!. your NOT fat!. people always see themselves differently when they look at themselves head on!. thats human, but you should eat 4 times a day with small sorta portions to stay healthy!. and don't starve yourself , just maybe limit yourself to certain things!. kbyee =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should eat at LEAST 1,500 calories a day!.!. and that does not make you anorexic because being anorexic means that you are really stick thin skinny!. and you are at a good weight!. This makes you retarded because that is the most stupid thing that I have EVER heard someone doing to their body!.!.!. and that is not gonna help you lose weight because your body is gonna go into starvation mode and it is gonna store all the fat!. So it is worse to not eat than to eat!.!. you know what I mean!?!?!?

i like the therapist idea suggested above!. however, as far as diet goes, look at it like this: what you're doing now is putting your body into starvation mode and it's causing it to store fat!. in addition, your body will consume its own muscle as energy--hence, the weight loss you get from not eating!. so, it will turn you into a chubby girl with no muscle!. I'm sure that's not what you want, so why are you losing weight in this fashion!? let's explore a healthier way of losing weight!. and, it's gonna me a long road for you, so don't get discouraged if you stop seeing progress along the way!.!.!.just come back and ask how to change things at that point!.
first, start working out--if you want the body of an athelete, it's gonna take some work!. you know those girls you see on the cover of a swimsuit magazine!? well, they workout and EAT properly!. not a single one of the starve themselves!.!.!.trust me anorexic chicks are not cute!. so, if you're willing to put forth the effort to have the body you want, then join a gym, do some cardio and lift some weights!.
diet: you should NEVER go below 1200 calories!.!.!.and that's just a rule of thumb!. being that you're 14, it's the time that you take control of your life and make a lifestyle change right now!. instead of starving yourself, eat good food!. as i explained above, you want to lose fat and keep muscle!.!.!.and what you're doing isn't going to work out for you in the long run, especially!. so, let's look at a diet that will help you lose fat and maintain muscle!. eat your carbs in the morning and for lunch!. good breakfast carbs are cream of wheat or oat meal!. lunch should consist of a sandwhich on wheat bread with no cheese and little or no mayo!. the meats on your sandhwich should be healthy, such as turkey or chicken!. for dinner, eat fish or chicken with veggies--no more carbs after lunch!. i don't want you to eat any sugars, fats, fried foods, cheese, or anything that you feel is high in fat!. if you stick to this, you'll probably notice some weight gain at first (muscle coming back) and then you'll notice that the weight will start to come off!. also, if you do decide to go to the gym, the same thing will happen--gain some muscle weight at first and then you'll lose it!. however, in a few months time, you'll see that you'll start to look more like a fitness model!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you constantly ate under 1000 calories a day you would not have that 15 lbs to lose!. Its people who do this low calorie thing for a few days and then go back to normal eating!.!.!. but guess what!? Your body is used to the few calories so your metabolism has slowed down!. Instead of losing actual fat by starving you ended up losing water weight and muscle!.!.!.and when you eat normal again you gain FAT weight!.
So solution!?
Eat normal!. Muffin or granola bar for breakfast, sandwhich for lunch and salad for dinner!. For snacks have fruit or vegi's or 100 calorie snacks like pudding!. Exercise 30 mins daily!. And start using dumbells and do leg lifts and crunchs!. Just do this for 4 weeks and you will see BIG changes vs your whole not eating approach!.
Also remember by gaining muscle the number on the scale goes up!.!. but thats a good thing!.!. muscle burns more calories and gives you more of an appearance of being tone!.
But in all honesty!.!.you dont look overweight in the least!.!.!. so chances are its all in your head!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
