Please get help honey, you sound like you do have anorexia. You have gone days without food? You want to be that skinny? You know it's bad for you and unattractive yet you want to be that way? Please get help. Its better to be healthy as you said you are than twiggy. When you see girls like that don't envy them. They are controlled by their weight and desire to be thin. And in high school its ten times worse and there are more of them around to make you question your own body. I used to obsess over having arms as skinny as they do, but i got over it and now im happy to keep them muscular. You should not want the body of a 12 year old boy. Girls are different on purpose and it is beautiful. Those twiggy girls are not as happy as you think. They still have hangups. The only way to happiness is to be healthy and accept and love your body. And don't be embarrassed to seek help from a Professional. They will help and won't judge. You need someone you can look up to and trust to guide you and show you that you are fine as you are.

My life, some friends lives too.

i'd suggest a therapist
ASAP!

I sometimes feel like this too but you're younger than me. Maybe it just your age and it'll pass?

Well not eating it anorexic, wanting to throw up is bulimic, so it's confusing as to what disorder you could have.

It's best to NOT look at those girls that are anorexic, because that is what is making you want that. You know what anorexia is, therefore, you want to BE that. Then the girls at school just by LOOKING at them makes you want it MORE.

It's nice to be skinny, yes, I have this too, but I have a WAY fast metabolism, and it's hard to keep up with it. A lot of girls can't handle being skinny if their metabolism is slow, then they decide to starve theirself, which isn't good. Just because someone else looks healthy and skinny doesn't mean you will.

People have different body types, and it's not good to try to change yours if you body can't handle it. Muscle adds weight, and it's ok to have it, and your body is probably more muscular.

Try to think about the PROS about your body, what clothes you can get away with wearing, what looks good on parts of your body. Wearing the right clothes makes you feel good. Decide to maybe invest in some pretty feminine clothes and it'll make you feel more good about yourself. You don't need to be skinny, not everyone should be, or there would be no fast food joints, because not everyone's body acts the same. :) How bad would that be, just get salad at a "fast food" place. EW! lol
