"hi im a teenage female and i think i may have anorexia, i realize my eating habits are abnormal so i did some research and i found that i have several symptoms, like always feeling cold, fatigue, anxiety, compulsive eating, over eating, hair loss, and im always thinking about food. always. and when i think about it, i want it and have to have it, to the point where if i dont have money and im off somewhere and hungry, ill steal it. i hate stealing, and i always try to pay whoever back, but i just feel sometimes that i have to eat, but no matter how much i eat, i never feel full. concerning my body, im almost 5'8'' and weigh about 135-140, which ive been told is practically normal. but im not comfortable with it. i mean i wouldnt make myself throw up or anything, and definetly wouldnt stop eating (cuz i cant), but i do wish i could lose 5 or 10 pounds and trim certain places, but i just cant stop eating! please help me. -jess-"
