  • The doctor did give me pills for low iron. They helped a little, but not a lot. My dad is a nurse, and he's the one that said I have low blood pressure. My dad actually says that our GP is a "wing-nut", but we can't get in to see a different one, at least not right away. The doctor took my blood pressure, and he said it…
  • Thank you all so much. I have talked about this to my parents, multiple times, and to youth leaders. My mom and I have talked in detail, actually. I will check out spark teens. Unfortunately, we don't really have any extra money for a nutritionist. Also, my dizziness may or may not be related to my eating habits, as I was…
  • My first advice would be see a doctor, immediately. But I understand you may not be able to do this. I used to have a similar problem. I still do some days. Half the time I ate (even if I just ate a small amount) I would get so nauseous and bloated, and be in so much pain that I would cry and even have a hard time…
  • This really doesn't sound like you're eating enough. I'm a small female, and I normally eat around 1600, at least. Occasionally I'll end up lower, but it's really, really rare for me to go under 1200. Even if you're not technically "hungry", you should definitely eat more. However, if you're legitimately full, I would…
  • Since breasts are mainly fat, your boobs will get smaller if you lose weight. In fact, the breasts are often the first place you will lose weight. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm a 34A, and I'd love to have smaller boobs. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. You're beautiful, and don't ever let anyone…
  • Coffee in itself isn't necessarily bad for weight loss, and it can boost your metabolism. However, if you load your coffee with milk and sugar (or even sweetener) it can work against weight loss. Someone might have already said that, but I didn't feel like reading all the replies. Hope it helps :)
  • You may have lost muscle. If you exercise a lot but don't eat enough, your body will burn muscle, which could cause you to look chubbier even if you didn't gain any weight. I would suggest eating a little more, especially more protein and carbs. :D
  • 500 calories per day seems unnecessary and unhealthy. Some girls who self-identify as anorexic eat 500 calories per day. I honestly have no intention of being mean or unsupportive, but please don't deprive yourself. I don't know enough about you to make a quick judgement and say "you're anorexic", or "you have an ED", but…
