First off, do as the man above says and EAT SOMETHING. Preferably something healthy, I recomend Subway if you're looking for something inexpensive and easy.

Secondly, weigh yourself and measure your height, then go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index and compare yourself to the BMI chart. Make sure that you follow the instructions regarding BMI and age, since you're young. So long as your Boddy Mass Index is within the proper range, you're NOT FAT. If, however, you are in the overweight category (FOR YOUR AGE), then consider going on a healthy diet and beginning an exercise regimen. And a healthy diet means eating right, not starving yourself.

:edit:
Oh yeah, and talk to your parents and maybe even your family doctor about your weight concerns. Your doctor especially should be able to tell you fairly quickly whether you are overweight or not and be able to give you some good advice on losing weight if you need to.

Eat!! I'm 15 and any chick that is gonna starve herself is just dumb to do so in my opinion...you don't have to starve yourself to lose weight just eat a little less and exercise a little more!

But your blackout could have been caused by standing up to fast or something too...in any case STOP STARVING YOURSELF!!


College Kid
Starving yourself will make you start losing hair. You're 13 just eat healthy and exercise. you'll lose that baby fat in no time. starving doesnt make you feel better; however, exerciseing does. it will increase your self esteem and improve your looks as much as your health. Good Luck.

quit submitting to peer pressure (like a dog), and think on your own. its good to lose weight and be healthy, but starving yourself to impress your stupid classmates is not the right approach to your problem. you can speak to a dietician who can help you with a specific diet and excercise regime. do not be foolish

good lucky!

eat regular proper meals and no complaining
you pick the food you like -- and eat all of it

blacking out is a warning. If you do not eat enough the next warning you get icould be a Coma - Im sorry if this is scary, but it needs to be said. Please look after yourself.
It you can't talk to you family would a teacher be better.

Eat some food.

You seem pretty lively for someone who says she's just "blacked out".

Then see your doctor for a proper healthy eating plan. Admit what you've been doing, before it turns into Anorexia.

You will grow a beard and have no breasts if you carry on starving yourself, you can check on Google if you don't believe me.

Grow old and then start be concerned about weight if it then is wrong.


catduke3
talk to your mother and tell her exactly what you just told us, you need some counseling girl, and some support from family and friends,,,,,,,,don't be ashamed to tell anyone about your problem.. it could help save your life and could save others,your family is not going to think its just for attention they know of anorexia . IT IS A DISEASE, NOT ACTING OUT FOR ATTENTION. if thats not good enough for them, have them contact me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll tell em for ya!!!!!!!!!!

You really need to eat something there is nothing wrong with dieting but theres a good way to diet and a bad way. Idaho potatoes are high in vitamins and things to help you stay healthy but they have no fat. You must excersise to get to your goal weight if you dont like to do traditional exercises then you can always dance, its a very good work out just 30 mins a day and you'll start losing weight in about a week. you will end up in the hospital if you keep this up they will force feed you so you better knock it off. as for the kids calling you fat, they most likely have low self esteem and pick on you and others to make themselves feel better.

Eat or don't eat.
Just don't complain about what you do -.-
You'll be force fed in hospital if you reach a certain weight however.

I can't believe you 13 year olds are just drama. Look in the mirror and look at your size, then look at pictures of fat people. Do you think you look like them? NO. Why? because you have to look fat to be fat. I hate people like you, god if people call you fat and your not their most likely jealous. People call you fat because their insecure about themselfs and they put you down to make them feel better. You starving yourself makes them win.

If you want to keep starving yourself be sure to make a will and get ready to die of starvation.

If your 200 pounds then call yourself fat but if not then start eating. All you have to do is eat smaller porstions of food and eat at least 4 servings of fruit. Drink alot of water and alot less soda (soda has alot of fat and water has 0 everything).

And seriously why do you listen to other people. Their not in control of you so why let them put those stupid thoughts in your head.

Sorry for being so bold but I was killing myself over my gain of weight, but I'm over it.

U must tell yr parents. These symptoms may lead u to some disease.....U have to go to the doctor...Its important.
Well and if u dont wanna tell your parents then eat something that u like. If u dont feel hungry then do some sort of an activity that requires and consumes a lot of energy...U will then surely feel hungry...
Try this out But dear u better tell your parents about it


Jess :)
thinki this "does it really matter what other people say or think" besides if you blacked out there must be something wrng with what your doing yah? just eat something sometghing small to start of with then eat somethign else. i know someone who is a size 6 waist (UK) and everybody calls her fat cos they think it's fun.

laura this is very serious your body is starving of nutrition and vitamins key to keep it functioning. your sugar evels are obviously very low. you must advise your family and let them know you want to see a doctor, drink plenty of water and have sugar (a few teaspoons) get your sugar levels up!!!! you need to eat your starving yourself if your fainting now then imagine what comes next!!

if your family thinks your trying to get attention then contact the doctor yourself!! this is very important

EAT SOMETHING


yoyo
Youre not losing weight the healthy way...starving yourself is not only unhealthy it wont work for long.. as soon as you start to eat normal you'll put the weight back on becuz your body is designed to protect itself from starvation.
try exercise and eating healthy but in moderation..you are 13 and still developing, pls take a multivitamin every day and stop starving yourself.

STOP STARVING YOURSELF

7 new strategies to curb your hunger and keep you feeling full while you lose.

It’s 9 p.m. and you know just where that bag of peanut M&Ms is—it’s stashed in the pantry behind the ultravirtuous oatmeal and seriously fortified cereal. Out of sight, but not out of mind. How can you be hungry, you wonder, when you ate a mere hour-and-a-half ago? The answer isn’t so simple. Everything from stress to hormones to people, places, and situations can kick your appetite into overdrive. The good news: Whatever the cause, you can beat your hunger pangs. Turn the page for the latest stay-full strategies from the experts.

Whip up a side of potato salad
Surprise! White potatoes aren’t the dietary demons Atkins devotees led us to believe. Potatoes contain a type of starch known as natural resistant starch that acts a lot like fiber once it’s in your digestive system, according to Katherine Beals, PhD, RD, a nutrition professor at the University of Utah. That means they make you feel full longer, keep your blood sugar level after a meal, and may even reduce body fat.

But there’s a trick to maximizing this benefit: Chilling cooked potatoes nearly doubles the amount of natural resistant starch in a serving. Try an Italian-style potato salad. Boil peeled, sliced potatoes until they’re fork-tender; drain, and toss them with salt, pepper, and your favorite red wine vinaigrette. Cool the salad in the fridge, and garnish it with chopped parsley before you dig in. Not a spud fan? Try black beans (or any other bean) or split peas, warm or cold, for the same benefit.

Front-load your day’s calories
We all know that breakfast helps keep your waistline trim, but here’s more solid proof: In a recent study, University of Texas at El Paso researchers found that people who ate break-fast took in five percent fewer calories over the course of the day. That’s only about 100 calories (if you typically eat the 2,000 calories per day recommended for adult women), but, over time, it adds up. Saving 100 calories a day for one year equals a loss of more than 10 pounds. Experts estimate most of us eat 20 percent of our daily calories at breakfast, 30 percent at lunch, and 50 percent at dinner. “You would probably be better off shifting more of your total daily calories to the morning,” says lead author John de Castro, PhD. If you can’t stomach a bigger breakfast (keep it healthy with a combo of low-fat protein, whole grains, and fruit or veggies), add a mid-morning snack (a container of yogurt, some fruit and a few whole-grain crackers, or half a sandwich).

Pull out the blender.
Froth beats fat. This is one of the best and least-known discoveries of professor Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of The Volumetrics Eating Plan. Rolls found that study subjects who drank smoothies and other drinks blended for at least twice as long as necessary ate 12 percent less — and felt fuller—than those who drank beverages blended for a shorter period. Why? Blending is a no-calorie way to increase serving size by adding air. Adding low- or no-cal ingredients to entrees (such as lettuce and tomato on top of turkey burgers or alongside broiled fish) has a similar effect: They work by increasing the amount of water instead of air.

Fool your sweet tooth with scent.
A whiff of vanilla may be the antidote for your craving for a double dip of Ben & Jerry’s New York Super Fudge Chunk ice cream. Here’s the theory, according to experts: The inherent sweetness of vanilla sends neuropeptides (gut-to-brain messengers) into a kind of sensory overload that fools you into feeling like you’ve satisfied your sweet tooth. Any vanilla scent — extract, body lotion, or a candle — has a similar effect. A special spray designed to curb appetite may work, too. One to try: Scentology’s Crave Control, which was developed by Rachel Herz, PhD, a psychologist at Brown University’s Medical School and author of The Scent of Desire.

Stock up on lentil soup.
According to a new study from The Cochrane Collaboration, an independent health-research organization, people on diets that call for fiber-rich, complex-carb-loaded foods like lentils, sweet potatoes, and apples lost a little over two pounds more in five weeks, compared with people on low-fat or other types of diets. These foods rank low on the glycemic index (GI), which means they’re less likely to cause blood sugar spikes and leave you feeling hungry.

Low glycemic index foods include fruit, vegetables, whole grains and legumes.

Snack smart.
By now, you know that snacking doesn’t have to be a bad thing for your waistline. But did you know that the right snacks can actually suppress ghrelin, the hunger hormone? James Kenney, PhD, nutrition-research specialist at the Pritikin Longevity Center and Spa in Florida, says low-calorie, nutrient-rich foods like strawberries (49 calories a cup), broccoli (20 calories a cup), and sweet potatoes (103 calories—and ready in a microwave minute) are your best defense. “They make you feel satiated on a lot fewer calories than Pringles do,” Kenney says.

Breathe hunger away.
Stress causes your body to pump out cortisol. And this, ultimately, creates a resistance to leptin, a hormone that helps you feel full. As a result, says Mark Hyman, MD, integrative-medicine specialist and author of Ultrametabolism, the more stressed out you are (and the more often you feel that way), the less able you are to tell when you’re full. Short-circuit the problem with this stress-reducing breathing exercise: Exhale fully, counting to 5 as you release tension from your body; let your shoulders slump as if you’re a deflated balloon. Then, count to 5 as you inhale gently, fully, down through the lungs into your belly; hold for a 4-count. Exhale again, repeating the first step. Continue for 5 minutes; practice a few times each day—or whenever you feel inclined to make tracks to the snack stash.
