Eating disorder but fat...?

Ok im 15 and 5'4 and weigh 112 lbs. People have said that i have an eating disorder and that im too skinny, even though i swear im fat. In a normal day i drink just mineral water, and consume around 300 calories. If i ever have more than 500 calories i make myself puke it up. For exercise, today i did 20 miles on my bike, 100 sit ups and burnt 250 calories on my parent's treadmill. I try to skip meals all the time, and exercise when its a meal time and say im going to a friend's house for dinner and stuff. When i look in a mirror all i see is fat hanging off me. Im so desperate to loose weight and get rid of the voices in my head. They tell me not to eat because im fat, and they tell me to make myself ill and exercise. The voices never go away, they are controlling my whole entire life. Do you think this could be an eating disorder? or just fat?

Anyone that makes themself puke to lose weight is not functioning correctly. How can you miss that fact? It doesn't sound like you're fat if you weigh 112. Talk to your parents about it.

Yes, that would be called anorexia 112 pounds is so very small for your age and height. I know what answer you want me to give you but that's not the answer your gonna here. Your sick who cares about your weight but you? Do you want people to like you cause you skin and bones? you are a growing girl if you want to live longer and have a healthier life then you need to EAT!! at least 1000 calories a day. It no fun being around someone thats always says shes fat even though your skin and bones. You are very unhealthy and your body needs food. Wish you the best for your future, God bless you always

you definitely have an eating disorder. 112 pounds is NOT fat. You should definitely tell your parents

eating disorder, but not the way you are thinking. everything you are eating is turning to fat, so you need to be really careful, I would stick to celery and lettuce for about a week

Do you really need to ask the question? You just described an eating disorder perfectly. You have it. Go get help immediately.

I dont think 112 lbs is fat. You wanna be called obese?

Ever heard of Karen Carpenter?

Yes your too thin.

Eating disorder for sure!!! You need to be at least 120 or so! Eat and don't throw it up, if not get help.

At your age you shouldnt really worry about your weight as your hormones will play a great part in you size at this age! As your 15 your weight will fluctuate i.e go up and down all the time, really you have got nothing to worry about as your weight seems healthy to me.

u have a serious eating disorder...please talk to someone who can help u before it's too late!

sounds like your bulimic get help

you really dont need to be asking that here
I would suggest you go to the doctor
mental health is in order here

ur crazy, really crazy!! ur not fat, eat something and stop listening to the voices in ur head!

Yes read up on bulimia but you need an MD for a real diagnosis. no you are not fat. But you are messing with your metabolism which is not good you should be able to maintain that wait with normal food an exercise, please do not let this go. Lots of luck:-)

It sounds very much like an eating disorder. You seem to have distorted body image. 5ft4 and 112 is in no shape or form, fat and never will be. Do you also suffer from obsessive behaviour, because it sounds like you plan things a lot, like how much exercise and how many calories. You may have an underlying chemical imbalance in your brain, which has contributed to you developing an eating disorder, being obsessive about food/exercise and having a distorted body image. I think you should see a doctor, before things get out of hand. You are verging on being underweight and abusing your body in this way will only lead to long term health problems and stunted growth. Good luck and I wish you luck on your road to recovery : )

That is Bulimia and u better get help before you kill yourself over it. you are still considered skinny for a 112lb 15yearold

That is definitely an eating disorder. Probably a cross between anorexia nervosa and bulimia. You need to go see a doctor about it and he or she can help you find the right treatment. I wish you all the best.

I think that every girl in some sense thinks that they are fat! At your age I don't think that you should worry about this. I think that counting calories (for a 15 yr old is crazy!) Stop reading the magazine articles that are making you want to be skinny like they are! Honestly Anorexia and bulimia are brought on my Holly wood. Your body Has not fully grown yet, and what you are doing can lead to being more dangerous down the road. I think that you really need to see someone about this.

God bless you and keep you safe!

ah ya sounds like a eating disorder 112 lbs sounds perfect for your height. Your only 15. Your body will settle down in a few years and you should feel more comfortable in it. But lying about eating and skipping meals is pretty bad. You don't want to end up like those really sick girls who weigh only 70lbs who we see on talk shows all the time do you? You won't be looking too good then.

girl, YOUR NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FAT!!!! you do so much exercise that you need to eat more! you should be eating 1200 to 1300 calories a day. you have a problem with body distortion. if you cant fix this yourself and start doing what you need to be doing, go see a doctor please!! you are putting your health and life in risk.

No! you are not fat!
Please, please, please speak to someone at your school or at home who can help you with this. This is very serious and definately is something to bring up to your doctor or parents or even a school nurse.
Just tell them everything you said here, there are professional people who can help you with this type of issue and who can help you get rid of the voices and the feeling of being out of control, you just have to tell them so they can work with you.

If you need to ASK if this is an eating disorder then you should seek help. The fact that you cant reconize it as one is disturbing.

You're dong serious damage to your body. I was anorexic as a teen, and trust me its not something you want to mess with. This is when youre bones become as strong as they need to be to see you through old age, without the minerals and food they need to grow and solidify you will end up with serious problems in the near furture.

Not to mention the long term effects on your kidneys. Its irreversable, and it can shorten your life dramatically.

Then there is the nerve damaged caused by a lack of protective fat that allow for impulses to travel throughout the body.

Not to mention the stress on your muscles. Your lacking immune system, your inability to protect yourself against serious diseases such as cancer.

Of all the things i regret the most about starving myself, its the heart trouble i have as a 22 year old. You heart attrophies because of a lack of nutrients, its sooo incredibly hard to repair that damage. It becomes weak.

You are killing yourself. Plain and simple. If you're okay with that, then please go right ahead. Iam glad i stopped when i did.

I think you already know the answer to the question. You have just recited all of the classic signs and symptoms of Anorhexia. I worked as a psychiatric nurse for many years and I've nursed people in the past with eating disorders - did you know they have the highest death rates of any psychiatric disorder?

Please seek some help, I suspect those who love you are already concerned. Seek help and seek it soon.

Good luck.

its called body dysmorphic disorder and should not be taken lightly. If this is how you actually feel and this is not a wind up,you should seek help for this condition before it becomes dangerous.

Read more about it at the link below. There seem to be forums on the site where you can discuss this further. You should do that now. Good luck.

again to all who think that their fat, check your BMI rate, and your not fat at all! and please do not skip meals because then when you eat, you body doesn't know when your going to eat again, so it stores the food, and that's what happens when you skip meals, also when you make yourself puke, it's really unhealthy, because your ruining the lining in your stomach which can cause a lot of problem. go on line and type in anorexia/bulimia, and see if it fits you, instead, try exercising ever other day, and eat 6 small meals a day, that's a very healthy diet, and you at least need more than a 300 calorie diet, please go get help or talk to a councilor, because your in dangering health... and your defenetly not fat, so please get help.

u are defedintly not fat and way to skinny. U should get help, u are eating to little and exercising too much. Perhaps talking to some of ur friends or people u trust?

that's the voices playing with your mine

you know deep down you have an eating disorder, and that's why you're posting on this site. you're probably really unhappy deep down as food and exercise is all you can think about. I was bulimic and anorexic for 5 years and was very thin. I could not believe i was thin and actually thought I looked good the thinner I got. I look back at photos now and I can see the extra hair I grew on my body, my limp and dull head hair, my bad skin, my awful colour. but i really didn't notice that when I was ill. there is so much more to life than worrying about food and how you look. you can't see that now, but one day you might if you can be brave enough to get help. the worst part was putting on the first stone because I honestly couldn't see how I could put a stone on and not explode, it was soooo scary and i was honestly petrified. but after that stone, it got easier and I started to (wait for it) enjoy my food for the first time in years. i thought at first that putting on weight would make me feel worse, and that all the feelings I had would be trebbled, but actually the more weight I put on the more I was being cured as I could see I wasn't getting fat, or even moving up a clothes size. I made a decision that if i got married or had kids I didn't want to let this problem spoil my life and my experiecnes and I have won. don't let anyone tell you 'you'll never get 100% well', 'it'll always be there', because I am living proof that you can do it.

however, no amount of us telling you you're teeny tiny is gonna make you stop hurting yourself. you need to reach deep inside for some courage and bravery and talk to someone who can help you. take it at a pace that suits you. it'll be tough but you can do it. just think about how much nicer life will be when you're not worrying about food, exercise, when and where you can puke. you only get one life, don't waste it on this evil disease. you are worth more than that

Tears-don't-fall,
from what you have described, far lower-than-average daily calories and diet, self-degradation on your appearance, and voices within your head. it seems you have issues, with a eating disorder, anorexia, and mental problems. please speak with your parents and maybe consider seeking professional treatment if things do not improve.
at 5'4", 112-lbs...that will place you at 19 or 20-kg/m, which is normal and optimal Body Mass Index. under 18 is underweight, 19 to 25 is normal or optimal weight, 25 to 30 is fairly overweight and greater than 30 is obese. you are in the normal weight range. i cannot comment on where you see yourself as obese, this may be a mental problem that you need to resolve. also, do not search for beauty from foolish glamour magazines and sources for they are biased and bad influences on many people. if you keep your current training and add in some strength training and have a proper diet and good nutrition, you will have your body in attractive shape at and early age and keep good health into your future. best wishes and bon appetit.

Sounds like you are both anorexic and bulimic. Anorexia is a psychological condition where you think you're fat and you see yourself as fat even when you're nothing but skin and bones. Anorexics usually avoid eating with their family and skip meals regualrly. They also lie about how much and what they have ate so people don't worry about them even as they become dangerously thin.

Bulimia is when you make yourself vomit to get the food you have eaten out of your system. It can be part of an anorexia behavior pattern or it can be a disorder on its own.

In your case, I would say that BOTH anorexic and bulimic behavior are present. This IS VERY SERIOUS. If you continue this kind of behavior, lack of proper nutrition will eventually give you osteoperosis (britttle bone disease), and your muscles will waste away and you will lose the ability to walk. At worst, anorexia-bulimia COULD lead to your death.

Look up Karen Carpenter online and you'll see that she starved herself to death because she was an anorexic-bulimic. Search anorexia and bulimia online and see the results of these diseases among people who got help almost too late. If this doesn't make you seek help, then you're asking for real trouble in the long-run because you are ruining your health and compromising your longevity.

u do have an eating disorder. please go and see your doctor and get help. eating disorders can be very dangerous. if u starve yourself, the body will start eating away at its own muscle tissue. slowly organs can fail. vomiting can cause havoc with your digestive system as well as rot your teeth. u need proffesional help dear. please make sure u get it.
