Are these signs of an eating disorder??

i see myself eating less and less every day. As of now i take in about 700 calories a day, and if i feel so guilty if i think i havn't burned that much and more off. I used to eat cereal for breakfast, sandwhich and chips for lunch, and hamburger helper for dinner. Now i eat cereal, nothing for luch, and as little as possible for dinner, and try only to drink water when im hungry.

i find that every time i eat, i feel so guilty afterwards, so i plan out what i have to do to burn it off.

I see myself as reallyyyy fat!!

i weight 127, im 13, and 5'7"

thats a lot

I am 15 and 5' 9.5" I am overweight and I know that I need to lose weight. I weight 170 pounds. So I wanna say no you are not fat. I had an eating disorder. That sounds somewhat like the way mine started. Please be careful. I gained 10 pounds more than I wanted to lose.

Yes, it sounds like you may be anoxeric. I was this way when i was a teenager. I thought i was really fat, but i was actually skinny. Don't try to measure yourself with others. Just try to be happy with yourself. Don't skip lunch. Your body needs nutrients, becuase without them that could lead to depression and calcium deficits and lots of other things. Your weight sounds proportionate with your height. You don't sound overweight at all. You could probably even go up to 140 or 150 and still look really good!

Hey Melanie, 700 calories is not enough. You should see a doctor and let them know that you are focusing too much on your food and it is affecting your mental health.

You could also go see a nutritionist. I was suprised to find out how much they understood about not only food, but all the psychological and social issues that go with it. They can help you get back to eating properly and do it slowly, so your head can catch up with your body.

Poor eating will start to make you feel awful in other ways as well . Weak , poor concentration, hair falling out, poor infection fighting etc.

Take care and good luck.

127?
are you kidding me child?
im 5'8 and 150.
thats a healthy weight. its a good proportion for my height, (thighs, butt, boobs, stomach, hips) and im by no means "fat". at all.
i had an eating disorder a few months ago and i was down to 135 lbs. that was nasty skinny.
yes those are symptoms of an eating disorder and you need to talk to someone and get help, because eating disorders get harder to control as time goes on, and especially during puberty, it can affect your body permanently.

It's not good to be obsessing over food.
Slowly, gradually increase your intake.
Also you need to talk to someone and do
some research online about nutrition. Once
you understand your situation, you can
resolve his problem.

maybe. but i dont know. i pretty much have the same eating habits that you have. you should talk to your doctor if you really want to know.

yep, you have an eating disorder.

you don't have an eating disorder, your just trying not to gain more weight and it's normal

Talk to a doctor or a parent. Get help or get checked out. Eating-disorders can be life/death situations.

Weight loss for teenage girls can become an obsession. It's a hard enough time for girls without a weight problem. Almost every girl looks at her tiniest flaws as monumental, and for those who are truly overweight, taking off the pounds cannot happen fast enough. However, patience in this and most other arenas in life, is a virtue that will help not hurt. Keeping the following weight loss tips in mind will help you to make smart weight loss choices, and increase your chances of success.

Losing weight quickly can backfire in many cases. You may lose weight fast, but the pounds (and a few of their friends) inevitably return. This is called the boomerang effect. You will lose weight if you cut calories or skip meals, but the loss won't be permanent, and your metabolism will suffer. Your body thinks it is starving, and turns calories into fat for storage in this time of (what your body sees as) starvation.

Instead, many doctors recommend a safe weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week. I know that sounds like peanuts to a teenager who has 20 or more pounds to lose, but the results will be more likely to be permanent if weight loss is accomplished safely.

If you eat smaller (healthy) meals, but eat every couple hours throughout the day, your metabolism will speed up to keep up with the demands, in turn, burning more calories. Keep track of when you eat, and schedule in a snack within 2 hours. Preparing a few low calorie snacks to have on hand is a weapon of many successful healthy weight people. Making mini crustless quiches using the new egg substitute that has a yolk in it is an easy on the go breakfast. Keep them in the fridge for quick snacking, or in the freezer for a toaster oven breakfast.

Try not to have high calorie snacks before bed. A bowl of high fiber cereal will fill you up and take that edge off. If you have a sweet tooth, add a spoonful of sweetened cereal in the bowl with the good stuff. You'll still raise your fiber intake (which can help you to lose 10 pounds in a year by itself) and you won't be adding a huge amount of calories to your body before sleep. Fat free yogurt (a small cup) is also a smart bedtime snack because it has a small amount of protein yet carbs to help you sleep.

Adding activity to your daily routine, no matter how small will slowly add up to calories burned over time. Find an activity that you love, maybe something you did as a child, like swim lessons, or dance, or heck, even riding a bike. If you loved it then, you'd probably enjoy it today. If you build muscle, you may gain a couple pounds, but don't forget that that muscle will be working for you around the clock, burning calories even while you sleep.

A sensible exercise routine, combined with smart eating techniques will help any teenage girl to lose weight without resorting to dangerous fad diets or deadly eating disorders. Any weight loss plan should be done under the supervision of a doctor. Weight loss for teenagers (boys or girls) should be a process that will help them to make healthy lifestyle changes that will stay with them for a lifetime.
