I know that people are gonna state don't do it and all that and after i state not to you still will but either way can you give me an answer.Im 13 years old haven't been eating properly for 6 weeks, i only eat some of tea occasionally my breakfast when i have my tea i make myself sick and i haven't been suffering from any side affects i normally go on the trampoline and things like getting up the stairs is getting harder by the day does this mean the side affects are starting to kick in (please say no)
Answer:
You definitely need to get help! This is not good for you and the side effects can be really bad.
Immediate side effects are constipation, dizzy spells, abdominal pains, muscle weakness, poor circulation, dry yellow skin, bloating, fine downy hair all over your body, no periods.
Long term effects can be osteoporosis, fertility and heart problems to name a few. Eventually you could die.
And making yourself sick will rot your teeth, give you stomach ulcers and you can lose your hair!
Its just not worth it!
Answer:
Some “side effects” you can't see- you may have organ damage already. Most of the complications related with anorexia are internal, though soon you might feel cold and develop extra fine hairs all over your body. You might also feel fatigued a lot sooner than you usually do. You really need to see a physician. He/she could help you out, not only with your eating problem- even if you don't want help- but with all the problems, like organ damage or osteoperosis, that might come along with anorexia. Good luck, and I hope this helps!
Answer:
you are already suffering the side effects from it… anorexia is not a weight loss plan, it is a mental self destructive negative image. you might or may not see any loss from starvation, and vomiting, something that they don't tell you, most ppl with ED don't always lose weight… but you already have the affects, and I hope you get them looked at, good luck and hope you get superior, and good luck on your road to recovery.
Answer:
When you starve yourself, your metabolism goes into starvation mode and it slows everything down to the point that you can't function well. It is your body's way to keep you from dying of malnutrition.
The worst part is that the longer you starve yourself the worse your metabolism gets…it teaches your body to anticipate famine, so the more often you starve yourself the more your body freaks out and wants to hold onto the fat, making it harder to lose weight.
Answer:
Don't worry, that doesn't sound too bad. You should be stick thin in no time at all. The real side effects come later, like your teeth rotting and falling out, and your throat tissue wearing thin, causing bleeding in your oesophagus. Then the heart problems start, and one side effect could be a heart attack. Your bones will break easily, and your hair will look dull and dry, well the bit that doesn't fall out anyway. But don't worry, no one would want to halt you from reaching your goal of being skinny. You’ll look hot, with no hair and teeth! Good luck hon x
Answer:
yes, they are and this is just the beginning. You’ll harm your body in ways that can't even imagine. Get help before it's too late.
Answer:
please speak to someone about this.
eating disorders are NOT a weight loss solution, they are very serious and should not be taken lightly.
you need to get help.
Answer:
For a begin you can't be a 'self-diagnosed anorexic'. So therefore (because I'm assuming you haven't been seen by a physician and diagnosed with the MENTAL ILLNESS - if you didn't know that's what anorexia actually is) then your not actually anorexic just a naive, silly little girl who probably has low self esteem but lacks the motivation to loose weight in a healthy way which will actually take a while longer. When someone in your family dies of anorexia or you yourself actually do develop the disorder I hope you realise the pain and hurt you will feel, or cause because I know from experience it is not pleasant.
I have the ability to guarantee, you've surfed some proana websites, seen the size zero uproar and probably fancy a guy who thinks your fat or some of your friends are skinnier than you.
Its not worth it honey, but nothing I can state can stop you - we've all tried 'starving ourselves' to become what only a minority of people class as beautiful.
