Answers:
It may not be an eating disorder, but the pills. Go see a doctor to make sure of what's up. Your body is not fully grown, so it wasn't the best thing for you to take those pills. They are more geared towards adults. You doctor can help you, though.

Best wishes!:)

You should visit a doctor, the obsessing about your weight can lead you to drastic, unhealthy measures. Only a doctor who has the whole story and has examined you call diagnose you with an eating disorder, treat you for your problems, and help you live a happy healthy life. Good luck!
It sounds like the pills you took were illegal and it also sounds like you have an eating disorder. Please talk to an adult you trust. It would be best to talk to your parents who can then get you some help. You really need some expert help and advice and not from people on yahoo. Please go talk to your mum now!

Do your parents know you're taking these pills? Right now your weight is good for your age, but I would recommend talking to a nutritionist to see what they say. As for feeling depressed, you should see the bright side in losing 40lbs, that's a great accomplishment. They'll be days you might go over calories but if your exercising and losing calories it's really not a bad thing. If your weight gets to a point that is too low, try to talk to your parents about it. Good luck
By you wondering if you are, I would suggest telling your Mom or Dad.
I am serious, you can really hurt yourself in the long run, when you are older.
It is something that is fixable, take advantage of that.
First of all, please get off the phentermine. It is dangerous, and is only masking your problem, not solving it.

If you eat very little a day and obsess over every calorie you eat and feel bad about eating anything at all, you may have anorexia.

The symptoms of anorexia are:

Anorexia has many side effects. These include:

* Significant weight loss
* Fear of becoming fat, even when obviously too thin.
* Excessive dieting and exercising
* Abnormal food preoccupations, such as counting all calories or obsessively studying cookbooks
* Constipation
* Dry, sallow skin
* Fine, downy hair may grow on the face and arms
* Menstrual periods stop
* Mood swings
* Suppression of sexual desire
* Hands and feet cold at normal room temperature
* Chronic insomnia
* Hyperactivity
* Frequent illnesses. Physical problems can include anemia, heart palpitations, bone loss, and tooth decay. Life-threatening problems include suicide, heart attacks, and kidney failure.


Please, please seek medical treatment if this applies to you. If this is what you have it can be fatal.

Good luck to you..take care of yourself.
Hi there,

You should see your doctor. Good thing you stopped taking the pills. You ahould also have 3 meals a day, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Also, you may not be getting enough essential nutrients, so your body thinks it is beeing starved. So see your doctor, the doctor would know best.
Just start eating healthy meals, 3 a day!
Good luck!
Yes you do. You need help, and should let your parent or a trusted adult know how you feel.
