Hi,
Please bare with me, this is going to be long but please take the time to read.
Well ever since I could remember people have looked at me and said, "Girl you are so skinny! Go eat!" In addition, I would eat. Not a lot I admit, I had the habit of only eating when I felt hungry. I wasn't the type of girl who enjoyed chips and chocolate and all that. Now I am too skinny, even for myself. Some of my friends tell me I'm anorexic. I used to laugh and mock them for thinking so. I thought I was well, and that I was actually a little bit fat. Now I see the truth. I AM skinny, too skinny for a normal person. I weigh 36.8 Kilogram, I don't know how much in pounds... sorry. Anyway, and I am 15, younger girls weigh more than that. Its not like I don't want to eat, I really do. It's just that whenever I see food I immediately feel like vomiting. The smell is terrible. I love pizza, who doesn't, but one day after spending the entire day not eating anything I should be starving, and pizza should've made me jump from my seat, but when I did, and when I saw it, I couldn't eat, I ate only two pieces and couldn't eat anymore. I usually wake up for school feeling as if I'm about to vomit. I went for 2 days eating necessities. Five table spoons of dinner, half a bag of chips for lunch and half a piece of cake and milk for dinner. The second day in school was terrible, I had no energy. This is getting way out of control. It's not in my hands anymore. I am unable to eat, even if I'm hungry, it's like my stomach won't allow me to eat. I went to doctors and some gave me medicine that opens my appetite. But my mom hates them and so do I, she says, "if this opens your appetite, what is going to close it?!!!" I do not know what to do... I am so skinny, can you imagine people who do not even know me, haven't even talked to me go like, "girl you're so skinny...” or "do your parents hide food from you?" It gets really annoying! It's not like I'm obsessed with my weight or something, its not like my parents didn't take me to doctors and tried to make me eat whenever I didn't feel like it, its not in my hands!
I was wondering, is there any way I can get through this. Any way I can start eating well and not have to go to school every day like I just came out of my grave. I have no color in my cheeks, no curves in my body. Some people think losing weight is much harder than gaining weight. Well here, I am telling you, IT IS NOT! They are both the same. At least when you want to lose weight you are not sick, (well most people are not) but when you are at this extent, you are sick! And people don't go saying you need to lose weight, or your fat... they say these things to skinny poor people! Oh and another thing bad I do, I don't eat in school, as in I don't have breakfast. I don't like eating in school. The food there is terrible, and I don't like bringing food from home. So I end up drinking juice and hanging out with my friends and walking around. I know I should eat, and God knows I lost count of how many arguments I had with my parents for not eating breakfast... its just that... I don't like it! My friends are awsome, they keep telling me to eat and encouraging me... but I don't know why I hate it! I'd rather be playing, running, laughing, walking than sitting at a table eating and doing nothing! (Yeah, I like to move a lot... hyperactive :P! )
The scariest part is being unable to run around a lot, not being able to last a whole basketball game. I can take the sickness, but not being able to do the things I love most... that's devastating.
Help! What do I do? :(

I am so glad you are able to admit you have a problem.
That is sometimes the hardest part.

While we wait for a health expert, here is some reading you could do to understand aneroxia better.

You are not alone
According to the British Medical Association, 90 - 95% of people suffering from anorexia go on to recovery. If you are currently suffering from anorexia, please remember that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There are many people who for a long time believed they were the only ones who were suffering in this way and were so relieved to find others who had similar experiences.

There is lots of help available
You may be reading this page wondering if you have anorexia. After all, it can seem like one of those things which only happens to other people. However, anorexia can affect anyone, regardless of their age, gender or race. It is nothing to be ashamed of and you do not have to suffer alone. On Pale Reflections you will find hints and tips on beginning the recovery process, a treatment finder and, if you are a member, you are able to search for other members who have similar experiences and issues as yourself.

How can I live without anorexia?
An eating disorder can seem like a vicious circle, where living with anorexia is scary but the thought of living without it is even worse. Do not despair - lots of people HAVE recovered from anorexia and YOU can too. Anorexia is a way of coping, a way of dealing with life by controlling your body and your food intake. You may believe you can stop at any time, that you are not really anorexic because you don't meet all of the diagnostic criteria or aren't "thin enough". Try eating three meals a day for a week (without purging - that would be cheating!) and then ask yourself, "Do I control it or does it control me?"

Anorexia is an addiction, therefore like any addiction it can be treated. Fortunately, the days where doctors treated only the physical aspects of the illness are largely behind us. Sure, your physical wellbeing is important, but it's the psychological reasons behind an eating disorder which need to be addressed. Nowadays, doctors will concentrate on BOTH the physical AND the psychological aspects of anorexia. In theory, if you start to feel better about yourself with improved self-esteem, you will become less dependent on your eating disorder and less focused on food.

ANRED: Self-Help Tips (http://www.anred.com/slf_hlp.html)

Note: if you have even the smallest suspicion that you are in medical danger, consult a physician immediately. Eating disorders can kill, and if you are already in trouble, you need medical attention, not self-help tips.

Anorexia nervosa
Don't diet. Never. Ever. Instead design a meal plan that gives your body all the nutrition it needs for health and growth.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. -- Virginia Woolf
Get 30 to 60 minutes of exercise or physical activity three to five days a week. More than that is too much if you have an eating disorder. Be safe. Ask your physician to OK your meal plans and exercise schedule before you begin.
Ask someone you trust for an honest, objective opinion of your weight. If they say you are normal weight or thin, believe them.
When you start to get overwhelmed by "feeling fat," push beyond the anxiety and ask yourself what you are really afraid of. Then take steps to deal with the threat, if it is real, or dismiss it if it is not real.

Bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder
Don't let yourself get too hungry, too angry, too frustrated, too lonely, too tired, or too bored. Don't let yourself get pulled in too many directions by too many people, too many demands, and too many responsibilities. All these states are powerful binge triggers. Watch for them, and when they first appear, deal with them in a healthy manner instead of letting the tension build until bingeing and purging become the only release you can think of.
Stay comfortably busy and avoid unstructured time. Empty time is too easily filled with binge food.
Make sure you get enough sleep, at least seven hours every night.
Don't diet. Dieting means depriving yourself of nourishment and pleasure. Dieting and deprivation are powerful triggers of binge eating. Note: A healthy meal plan, one that manages weight and reduces risks of medical problems, is NOT dieting in the usual sense of deprivation. A healthy meal plan respects nutritional needs and is flexible enough to include reasonable amounts of fun foods.
Make sure that every day you spend time with friends and loved ones -- in person is best; phone and e-mail can substitute, but only once in a while. Enjoy being with people you love and those who love you. It sounds corny, but hugs really are healing.
Take control of your life. Make choices thoughtfully and deliberately. Make your living situation safe and comfortable. Choose every day to bring pleasure into your life, at least for a few minutes.
Every day do something fun, something relaxing, something energizing.
Monitor your self-talk. Challenge self-critical nagging. Deliberately choose to change the subject and count your blessings when you fall into negative thoughts about yourself, your appearance, your abilities, and your accomplishments.
Keep tabs on your feelings. Several times a day ask yourself how you feel. If you get off track, do whatever the situation requires to get back to your comfort zone.

A reminder: If these tips don't work for you in seven days, talk over your situation with a resource person -- physician, counselor or therapist. If you have even the smallest suspicion you are in medical danger, don't wait one day longer. Talk to a physician immediately.

I was getting border line anorexic in 1980. I could not eat more than the equivalent of half a sandwich three times a day without getting sick to my stomach.
I started taking vitamin B complex in the morning along with Royal Bee jelly (if you are not allergic to bees or pollen) and papaya enzyme and an antioxident.
This forced me to eat since vitamins on an empty stomach make you nauseas
The vitamins also seemed to help keep my food down.
The papaya helps sooth most any digestive stuff like nausea, heart burn, etc...

Also don't force yourself to eat big meals
Start by eating one small thing three times a day MORE than what you already do
Like maybe a piece of jelly toast in the morning, a piece of fruit in the afternoon and some pudding or something in the evening. Preferably eat these in between your regular meals. And as you can comfortably keep increasing the amount you eat.

Hope this works for you, it helped me but I caught it before it got bad.
