What does this mean?

2 Replies

I am 14 and have tried different diets since i was 11. I restrict to 300/600 calories a day and weigh myself twice daily. I am terrified of gaining weight and i hate eating around others. I have gone from 140 lbs to 124 in 4 weeks. What does this mean? Do I have an eating disorder?

ramelia20, I think you know what it means in that you need help before this escalates anymore. Do your parents or guardian know about what is happening? You need an adult to get involved with making some good choice for you and giving you some direction. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed right away. Please let us know where you go from here. x

You need to seek some help now - restricting like this means that nutritionally you are not getting a good balance of food for your physical health - as well as the weight loss - and this can lead to serious health issues later - so please do get some help - from your GP/school nurse - and also if you can talk to your family about how you are feeling and the problems you are having that would be good. ABC also has a helpline - as does BEAT - so get in touch with them if you feel you can't approach those around you.
