How can I get my body out of starvation mode?!
Question: How can I get my body out of starvation mode!?
(I'm reposting this because the answers I got were missing what I meant!. I added detais to my story so I hope you do!.)
My body has been in starvation mode for months now!. I'm extremely pale, my hair is brittle and falling out, and I'm constantly cold!. i decided I don't want it like this any more!.
Now before you said "Just eat more," here's a brief summary!.
See, the thing is I CAN'T eat more!. There is no food that I can eat, and I don't have money!. I live with my dad, and literally ALL he buys are frozen tv dinners, which I CAN'T eat!. (The reason I can't eat them is because I am allergic to what's in them!. He purposely buys them so I can't "steal his food and money") So I'm kinda stuck here!. I don't have a doctor or anything!. (We're really poor) And also, please don't say to sit my dad down and talk to him, or anything like that!. I've tried countless times, and if it worked I'd be eating!. Get this in your mind!. He will NOT buy anything else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
The best option is to leave by calling child services, or the police, or something!. They'll either enforce better care of you, or they'll put you somewhere that's better for you (assuming you're in the US, that is)!.
Unfortunately, by saying that you don't want to get taken away from your father, you've eliminated that possibility!. I strongly recommend that you don't box yourself into a bad situation, just because you don't want to move away!. Those two desires conflict-- so if you REALLY want to get healthier, that's probably your only valid option!.
Other options include getting more food:
1) If you're old enough, try and get a job!. Preferably in a food industry, where food may be included as a perk!. But beyond that, use the money to buy food!.
2) Convince your father to buy you more food!. This is difficult and/or impossible!. You can do something drastic like literally beg outside your house/apartment!. It may not get you food directly-- it may annoy your father to the point of convincing him to buy you food, because he doesn't like seeing you begging, or having people he knows seeing you beg!. On the other hand, it may just annoy him to the point of beating you, which isn't a good option!. You can also try telling EVERYONE!. Again, your father probably won't like other people knowing or thinking that he doesn't feed you well, and may break down and buy you more food!. And again, he may just get angry instead!.
3) Scrounge!. This is also a bad option!. Return soda cans, mow lawns, clean cars, shovel driveways!. Whatever it takes to get money and/or food!.
Bottom line, though, is to tell the authorities!. And if that means leaving you father, so be it!.

Ok, from your previous questions, I also see that you're 15 (that's probably not quite old enough to be working, but will let you do some odd jobs)!. But more importantly, I see that you're a vegan, and you'd rather starve than not be a vegan anymore!.
Personally, I think that's rather silly!. Meat is *healthy*!. You need protein in your diet!. I'm not sure what you're eating and what you're missing, but you should have some amount of meat in your diet to keep you healthy!. Yes, it's theoretically possible to eat replacement foods instead of meat and still be healthy, but it can often cost more money!.
You probably don't have the *luxury* of being both healthy and a vegan, given your situation!. That's like saying "I want to make money, but I don't want to work for it, and I also want to blow all my money on beer and gambling too, but I still want to be a millionaire! Help!" But if you're really serious about preferring starvation to non-veganism, that's your choice!.

And just 5 months ago (and earlier) you were complaining that you weighed 170 pounds!? From reading your questions, it sounds like you need some counseling, not more or less food!.

First off, you need to talk to someone (like a friend, teacher, or other relative) about what he's doing!. I know he's your dad and all, but you don't deserve that!.
Once you tell someone, ask a friend to take you out to eat!.
Then once you get food, start exercising!. That's what gets the metabolism going!.
Sorry about everything you're going thru!. I'm a good listener if you need anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well you should talk to someone else to talk to your dad what he is doing is child abuse!. There is no way for you to get out of your starvation mode unless you eat, which your dad isnt letting to happen!. This is extremely cruel what he is doing!. Btw you have the signs of anorexia not just being in starvation mode!. You need help now or you could end up dieing!. Try talking to a friends parent or something or a teacher or school nurse and they can help you!.
