How to stop wanting to eat?

Hi! I’m 14 years old and anorexic and have been for 6 months, but haven’t been able to stop cravings caused from my past of bulimia. Does anyone have any tips on how to stop myself wanting to eat or any help on how to motivate myself when I do want to? And so you don’t think this is bad, you’re helping me to not go back to bulimia by doing this as I found that more useful, so help!!!

Answer #1

Either way, whether you’re anorexic or bulimic, you are doing your body serious harm.

Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes an eating disorder characterized by low body weight and body image distortion with an obsessive fear of gaining weight. Individuals with anorexia often control body weight by voluntary starvation, purging, vomiting, excessive exercise, or other weight control measures, such as diet pills or diuretic drugs. It primarily affects young adolescent girls in the Western world. Anorexia nervosa is a complex condition, involving psychological, neurobiological, and sociological components.

Anorexia is a life-threatening condition that can put a serious strain on many of the body’s organs and physiological resources; it has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric condition, with approximately 10% of people diagnosed with the condition eventually dying due to related factors.

If you want to lose weight, do so by following a proper diet. 6 small meals a day, with each meal the size of your fist will allow you to lose weight in a timely fashion, without causing serious and often irrepairable damage to your body.

Answer #2

anorexia and bulimia are both 2 dangerous illneses. If your body craves food, surely thats a sign you should eat, to stop the cravings and give your body the right nurtrients you need. The only posotive here I think is atleast you can admit you have a problem, which an eating disorder is.
