1. Your life is at stake here. If you want to stay alive you need to get the anorexia under control. What good is being a model if you are dead from anorexia. You are ill so take some time off from modeling as you are only 15 and get your anorexia under control and enjoy living before it is too late.
2. You need to eat of course. It might help you a lot if you got some councelling. Anorexia is a tough disease to overcome.
3. Sweety pie... You are treading in very dangerous territory. YOU ARE NOT OBESE. Here me well~ My sister was full blown bulemic back in the 70's and she is dead. She was 5'7" and weighed around 78 pounds when she died. Starvation dieting actually makes you gain weight. If you deprive your body of food, your body goes into the starvation mode and HOLDS ONTO YOUR FAT. Funny how our bodies FIGHT to protect us. It is much better to eat several small meals during the day and use portion control. That way your body won't be in the starvation mode and hold onto fat...since fat is what you are worried about. You are also depriving your body of its nutrition if you don't eat. Your whole body will start to shut down. Your skin will become sallow. You will actually swell if you starve yourself long enough and then start to eat again. That is equally as dangerous. PLEASE eat. Fruit is a natural fiberous food and will NOT make you gain weight. I used to watch my sister nit pick at food and eat like a baby would. It was very disheartening to watch her waste away. If you love your parents, then EAT something. Remember too, that you have to love yourself enough to want to choose 'LIFE'. I wouldn't recommend dieting. Just eat well balanced diet. A little of this and a little of that. I am 5'6" and weigh around 115 pounds. I am 47. I have kept the weight off of me year after year by simply eating right. If I can do it, you can too!
