OK well I need help I can't stop thinking about what I eat and how much I eat.before I eat something I check how many calories if they're are too much I won't eat it but its hard as I am 11 so my mum gives me food and notices if I don't eat it.any advice??
And am I heading towards anorexic??

You should talk to your mom about it, and get some help for this.

In my opinon yes, you're headed for anerexia

It's really good that you're noticing that you're headed into some trouble.. that shows a good sign that you might battle this..

You NEED to talk to your mom about this or at least an adult that you trust..

If you let this get out of hand it can RUIN your life..

Don't start your life out like this.. please please get help!

Thanks for the advice I will tell someone well ill try I mean

I can't tell her what else can I do?

Try writing a letter, sometimes it makes saying difficult things easier.

How do you feel except for this?

I feel like I am fat but I've been told I'm undewieght for my height I am tall for my age so could that have anything to do with it I fell unhealthy

How do you feel about school, home, friends etc?

When did you fall unhealthy?

I'm not unhealthy that I no I'm just not good at sport and stuff and I hate my thighs so ye but I'm getting better now but still having trouble. School is great now but it wasn't before and I have had a bit of a rough time so ye but thanks for your advice

What happened at school before?

You are not fat you just think you are. It is easier sometimes to place your unhappy feelings on something physical- like your thighs rather than face up to what is making you unhappy.

I know I do it myself. If I'm stressed about a report I'll look in the mirror and see swathes of belly fat. It's not there, its in my head. But it is easier in a way to criticize myself in a way I feel I can change.

It isn't healthy and it doesn't work in the long run. That is why you need to ask an adult for help.

Asking people for help can sometimes be the harderst part, I know. But you've started on here - you are half way there!

Thanks for all the advice you seem to everywhere I am on this site so cool . School well I had a fight with long term best friend but I have a better friend now but the best friend I had we were kidda bad news together so _ I was having trouble with life I guess I mean my sisters are at boarding school so I don't have them around a lot but I am getting heathlier my friends are making eating fun so that's helped!

That's good!

You are lucky that you are self aware enough to realise it is not a good path to go down. I have had a couple of anorexic and bulemic friends, it is not nice disease. Please stay strong and try to have fun with your life!

I will thanks for all the advice

Yeah I been doing that to I'm a thin line away from an eating disorder but God stops me its amazing how much he helps I hope you already talked to your mom but your om won't always know what your thinking he's always there to help you :)

I'm a lot beter now but there's still something there thanks for all your help!

I was on the way to being normal again until my friend stopped eating and all the feelings came rushing back and now well I only had a apple for lunch so any more help?? I can't talk to my mum she doesn't get it she doesn't listen she never has...

You really should go and see the school counselor if you have one... they will probably have to tell your parents but they will let you know. I am older than you but I have a similar problem. My friend dragged me to the counselor - he told me he had to ring my mother and it was easier for him to tell my mother than it would have been foe me to tell her.

It is really important that you tell someone unless you like the idea of being in hospital pretty much force fed.
