Hello. I am Sonya, i have just turned 14 and i think that i may be starting to turn anorexic.. I do not eat breckfast or lunch but i do sometimes have dinner, i have one meal a day and usually a small portion, i am a gymnast and do alot of exercise and training aswell. I don't know if i am turning anorexic or not and was just wondering what people think i should do, nobody knows i only eat a small dinner a day, and some days i do not eat anything, i know im not fat though but i just am obsessing over how much weight im losing . ( height and weight removed by tinkinpink84, can trigger those in recovery or struggling) I want to change and be able to eat 3 meals a day without feeling sick, before any one finds out. Sad any help or advice at all would be apreciated.
Sonya x

I have never had anorexia, only mild bulimia, but my best friend was hospitalised with anorexia so I know a fair bit about it... So I will try my best to give you good advice.
I think the best thing to do in your case would be to talk to somebody... Whether it be a parent, teacher or your doctor.
Do you not eat so that you lose weight or is it purely because you feel sick after eating?
I really think you should/hope you talk to somebody incase this is an eating disorder and is getting out of control. the earlier you can recieve help the better.
Hope I helped a tiny bit x
