| Sometime I wish I were anneroxic because I would be skinny. I know that is a stupid thing to say Plus I am smart enough to know when to stop. I know I should get help but I would love to be that skinny. 2 of my friends are my height and 1s 99 and the other 85 IT'S NOT FAIR. I'm 139 pounds and 5'2" and its not muscle all fat becasue i eat too much. And i hate myself for it.

dont wish that about yourself that is a serious problem. i used to think "oh maybe i'll just not eat for a couple days and i'll lose some weight." it dosent work that way, your body goes into starvation mode. and that could really hurt you. and as for your friends, some people are just born to be smaller. your not obese and i doubt your over weight. i bet if you just lost about 5 or 10 pound's you wouldnt be worrying about your body so much. just start doing a little bit of exercise every night, and watch what you eat and you'll lose that in no time. 
btw my name is kaitlyn, and im 14.

I know that feeling and it doesn't sound stupid, but you don't want to be anorexic. My friend Amelia is in hospital on a drip because of that. She's skeletal and she still cries because she sees herself as fat. If you were anorexic, you wouldn't be able to appreciate the fact that you've lost weight. If you do things healthily (regular exercise etc.) then you'll notice that you've lost weight and be pleased about it. I know it's really hard, but you have to stop comparing yourself to your friends. Just because they're thin it doesn't mean they're prettier or better than you. Maybe you should talk to a school counsellor about how you feel.
Take care
Btw, When you feel like that, just remind yourself of all the effects on your health such as liver, kidney & heart damage, dizziness and fainting, palpitations, headaches, loss of energy, depression and anxiety, electrolye imbalances, the possibility of osteoporisis etc. I hope that stops you from actually starting anorexic eating habits. You can still be slimmer without all of those things!

Kaitlyn and Kittie are so right. I won't claim to know anyone with anorexia, but I've heard a lot of about it. It's not worth it.
It can cause you're hair too fall out, and all sorts of other horrible things. Why don't you try counting calories and exercising for awhile? You're porbably only a few pounds overwiehgt for your height, right?

| Never ever ever ever even think about that again. I went through what I recognize now as anorexia undiagnosed and completely alone. I pushed away everyone that I loved. My life was ruined. My passion is fencing and I lost every tournament I competed in because I was so weak. I also couldn't sail my beloved boat because I fainted once and almost drowned. My parents were worried sick, but I lied to them and my doctor because I didn't want them to worry. I just wanted to be thin and attractive. I felt fat all the time. I thought no boys liked me because I was fat, even though I never was. I went from 135 lb to 100 lb in a matter of 2 months. I got to 110 and told myself I would stop. But I didn't. Please find any other way to lose weight. Please love yourself and believe deep in your heart that you are beautiful, which I still do not and probably never will. I will never completely recover. I am now at 130 again and I feel awful.

| Anorexia is terrible... And even if you have it as a teen then you stop acting like that, you could still die. That's how my aunt died. Her digestive organs slowly started shutting down when she was anorexic as a teen, so she died when she was around 30, leaving her child orphaned. =(

| I won't give you the typical "eating disorders are awful" speech because you acknowledge that this isn't a healthy thing to wish. What you do need to understand is that anorexia, builimia, COE, BED, and ednos are more than physical-- they are severe mental disorders. If you're looking to lose weight you're in a good place to do it-- check out all the resources on this site and ask around. If you find a program that works for you and you stick with it instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you'll drop excess weight quickly and get right into a healthy range that you can be happy with :) good luck and all the best!

Plus your organs will shrink irreversibly. Anorexia is for life. Anorexics live a daily battle. I definitely wouldn't want to go through that.
