    u r so me, thats freaky!
    im like that at the mo. im so hungry, but the thought of food just makes my stomach turn and i heave.

    peeps told me it cud b anorexia and i said no as i dont have a prob with my body, well i didnt think so till last nite.
    i was with my fella and his mates and their girlies and we were talkin bout weight etc and 1 girl is tiny aqnd well skinny and she weighs 6 stone! and another who i thought would b heavier than me, as shes quite plump, but round my height, said she was 7 1/2 stone. and im 8, and i found myself thinking i must b fat, so im gonna go on a diet and starve myself.
    im so pissed off. i know its stupid, but i cudnt believe i found myself thinkin that. may b i am anoerexic, but at 8stone, may b im not.
    i wanna say 2 u go and c the doc, but its a bit hypercritical as i refuse 2 go myself.
    Good luck

    have you had any reason to be put off your food lately? excitement/nerves/anticipation? know that for a week i was the same, i couldnt eat, it still happens on and off, its not an eating disorder like anorexia or anything, i dont want to lose weight or anything. but i just physically cant bring myself to eat sometimes, even when im really hungry.

    if you keep losing weight like that then i think you prob should go and see your doc... you need to eat to get the nutrients to keep your body going, and for energy. if this carries on, then i think you should see your doc.

    Helly please dont go starving yourself intentionally, this is not a good way of living your life and trust me no matter how much weight u looose u get into a cycle where u will never be happy. I wasnt happy at 5 stone when I was on my death bed...I still thought I was fat. Please listen to me when I say to not get like this because its the worst thing in the world and so hard to get over...trust me.
    Weight means nothing, whats important is your BMI (body mass index). Just because u have friends that u thought were bigger but infact weighed less means nothing Helly. Muscle weighs more that fat and one person at 8 stone could look miles bigger than another at the same weight...it depends on your height, shape and everything!

    She would only be lucky if she were wanting to loose a stone. Thats clearly not the case as she said it herself so I wouldnt say she was lucky really.

    Go and see your docter, as gfm said it can be stress related etc but its not healthy and u should check it out.

    dont get skinny, for christs sake

    people's weight means fuck all, weight means NOTHING

    you can weight 30 stone but it's all how you look and if you're happy with yourself

    muscle weighs more than fat, a toned girl would weight more than a slightly overweight one but would look better - she shouldn't go and starve herself just because someone weighing lighter is actually fatter

    the whole fat thing is bollox

    if ur a girl and u think ur *heavy* then DONT WORRY. if you're *fat* then just go and tone up, dont alter your diet, just do more exercise. you'll weigh more, but you'll look better

    I am terrible with eating too!

    Whenever I stay with my parents I gain weight in no time, but when I am on my own I just dont feel like buying food and/or cooking it.. so I lose weight because I am a lazy ass.. often I just dont have time to eat anything and at the end of the month it is because I spent my money on not-food-related things.. like drugs, cds and going out.
    What can I say? I am a braincase of a teenager.. but as long as I return to my parents now and then I ll always be fattened up in no time. <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/eek3.gif"&gt;


    I wouldnt worry about being anorexic. Almost everybody is critical about their weight and tries a crash diet now and then but things are alright as long as you dont think too much about it. People who have eating disorders think about eating or not eating all day, count calories and such.. I have a friend who refused to sit down for over a month because she thought her body would burn more calories if she stood around all day instead of sitting down..

    Losing a stone in just a week is a hell of a lot. Go and see your doctor just to be on the safe side <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;
