Ok, I am a male who just turned 16 last
november. Then I weighed about 215 ibs
and am only about 5"9. So my normal day
would just be to go to school and eat
lunch. It started out ok, but then I
wanted to lose it faster...So I started
throwing away a sandwhich, and just eating
pretzels and peanuts. Well I got down to
about 165 ibs...And then I decided I would
stop eating for a week at a time, and then
have a sandwhich or something on the
weekends. I am also exercise crazy. I
finally got down to the point of 140 ibs.
I am finally eating a little again.
Yesterday I had a half a turkey sandwhich
for lunch, and a half can of chicken
noodle soup for dinner. But after I eat
lunch and get home from school...All I do
is go to my room and exercise. I run for
about 15 minutes, then I do crunches,
sit-ups, pushups, etc, then I go get on a
nordik trak ski machine for about 5
minutes at a time)...Then after dinner, I
feel fat so I go and exercise again doing
the same exact thing, because I dont want
to gain any of my weight back...I mean I
dont think id be horrified if I gained 5
ibs, but I dont want to look like ive
gained which is what I look like to myself
everytime I eat. I dont know what to do.

Hmm it sounds like you have an exercise
addiction. Exercising daily is not bad at
all but to compulsively do it is just
going to wear out your body.
Everything comes in
moderation....Exercising an hour-hour and
a hal once a day is all your body really
needs. It also needs nutrients there is a
way to eat and maintain at the weight you
are at right now .... You just have to
find the right caloric amount talk to your
mother or father about it or even your
doctor you dont want to go into a full
blown eating disorder trust me
