please help this calorie counting teenager?
Im a 15 year old girl looking for some advice. I've been dieting since about 12, when I relized that I was very fat at 140 pounds with average height. At first i hated myself so much i just decided to not eat anything at all after about 2 days at that, i just decided to skip a couple of meals like breakfast(which i would tell my mom i didnt have "time" to eat) and eat little lunch. Then, i started the research. I bagan a more healthy weight loss just but switching to whole grains, eating more fruits and veggies, and i even tried the special K diet.I got my weight down to around 117 starting freshman year. But then i relized that i wanted faster results and i switched to a 1000 calorie diet freshman year, i havent stopped for 2 years. I eat EXTREMELY healthy for a 15 year old along with only 1000 calories, on an avergae day im never full and always waiting for the next chance to eat, after all this time my stomach has shrunken and i run on little food but it has affected my body, im quite cold, i lost my hormones a.k.a. my period, and my metabolism is so low, Over the summer I worked out a lot and got down to 108 pounds at 5 feet 4 inches. I looked like a model and i was so happy, but now Im 120 and im pissed off that i cant keep it off while still at 1000 cal a day. I hate having to eat this little a day and i hate myself, i dont know who to tell or what to do to eat more but not get so FAT. My worst fear is getting back to my old ugly fat self that ive been running to hard from for so long. If anyone actually cared to read this i just want some advice, ive never told ANYONE this and i dont plan on doing so, its just so frustrating sometimes, what i wouldnt give just to have a grilled cheese sandwhich or penut butter and jelly again without feeling gross and guilty..... help?
I eat 5 small meals a day at 200 calories each to keep my metabolism up

I must say first- That is extremely impressive to maintain such a diet by yourself.Well done! Aside from that,my friend,I think it is time you can cheat. Don't starve yourself to the point your freezing!! It is hard to get off that diet, so start slowly eatting more things you like. Go ahead and eat some pie or something lol. Eat things you enjoy, but you can still eat healthy and work out.Dont let yourself go-but just live a little. You wont get fat, and you need to trust that and belIeve you can be healthy while eating non-dietary foods. You just need to believe you can do it and feel beautiful no matter what (:

Go back to eating three meals a day, or two.
Exercise more when you go back to 2-3 meals a day. Try a long walk.
I think now, you are used to that rhythm of eating just 1000 calroies a day and it will probably take you a little while to get used to something different.
Yes, it's nice to see people trying to lose weight, especially (if you live in the US) in where 2/3 of the population is overweight. But don't kill yourself over it.

This is how ANOREXIA starts! Stop it! Stop!
Set your weight goal. For 5'4.. I would think maximum should be 115 lbs. You shouldn't go under 108. Eat healthy and eat MORE PROTEIN! Protein will fill you up. Take a COMPLETE MULTIVITAMIN EVERY MORNING. I suggest: One a Day teen advantage. Take dance.. :) Try a 1,500 calorie diet. And run every morning before breakfast for ONLY 30 minutes.
DO YOU WANT TO BE AN UGGGGGGGLYYYYYYYYYYY SKINNY PERSON. Skinny people scare the hell out of me. I mean.. You need SOMETHING ON YOU. You need to look healthy. I'm not saying I like people with overflowing fat and whatnot coming out.. but I am just saying.. watch yourself.
Source(s): stop being so anorexic for heavens sake.. ur a kid! EAT. I know, I'm on a diet too.. but I know what to eat. I'm a dancer.. I'm not allowed to lose that much weight. Im thinking 5 or 10 pounds. Nothing much. But if you lose a lot of fat.. soon you'll lose muscle and YOU NEED MUSCLE.. (especially me, I need powerful legs for dance) Eat that grilled cheese sandwhich! But make sure you do maybe 20 sit ups after.. Eating at night isnt so good because your metabolism is slow.. - Anonymous5 years ago

Oh my goodness girl, you sound just like my friend who has anorexia nervosa. It' really bad because of what you said, about the hormones and such. It's a good thing that you are eating healthy and exercising but you need to balance it with eating the right portions of food. And no matter what, you probably won't get fat again. Please go see your doctor, and keep your chin uo beautiful, you will be fine :)

you lost your hormones and you are 15? The ****? Are you even worried? I started freaking out when my testosterone hit rock bottom and I couldn't get erections anymore. Why? Because I stopped eating because I was so depressed I couldn't get out of bed. Get in there and eat a grilled cheese sandwich or i am going to lose my sanity in your generation.
