silly silly girl you are makeing yourself dangerously ill
think about your loved ones do you really want them to watch you die?
your parents will have to live with that guilt for the rest of their lives talk to someone before it gets out of hand

I am certainly not going to advise you on that.

You say you don't want to hear my reason for saying that.

you sound like you are already bulimic

becoming anorexic is never a good idea, as well as harming yourself, you will only stress out your family and friends.

just try to talk to someone, like a trusted family member, you need to make sure you can get this sorted before you become seriously ill

bednobs is right. stop eating, perhaps you'll die but if not you'll just ruin your looks, your health, and your future chances of having a baby.

You are already anorexic.

What you are asking is how you can lose another 7kgms.

You can lose another 7kgms by eating less and continuing dieting and binging and laxative imbibing.

Continue as you are doing and you will die.

oh, I nearly forgot.. you may ruin your relationship with your parents and friends.

and your parents will be sick with worry but hey, you may get into smaller jeans.

Anorexics grow body hair called lanugo all over their limbs and bodies, and the hair on the head goes very thin and straggly.
Their teeth rot, their ankles swell and the skin becomes rough and dry.
Their breasts don't develop and their fingernails become brittle, breaking off before they can grow.
They get bed sores, and bruise very easily.
The concentration and memory go, and they get constant and severe pain all over their bodies.


It's your choice though, if you want to look that bad and feel that awful.

No-one 'becomes' anorexic....and to want to 'become' one is almost an insult to anyone on here who may have been one,is one ..or has a child battling with it. There are all sorts of variables that contribute to a person developing anorexia....both physical and psychological....a lot has to do with not only body image but also control.
Presently you are at an ideal weight for your height....IF you want to lose any more.I suggest that you continue with a sensible eating plan. If you do not lose any more-then your body has found ITS ideal. You are only 14-this is NOT the time to deprive your body of what it needs to be strong and healthy...and a strong young woman is a hell of a lot more attractive than an emmaciated one.
And finally...this had better not be a wind-up.
