I am 5'8'' or 5'9'' & i weigh round 130. I have days were I wont eat a thing (when Im not around my mom) then I have days were I eat everything in sight & i feel horrible like I have done something bad so I excersise & do 200 crunches a day! When I dont eat my head kills me, i get dizzy, my eyes turn bloodshot & yellow & i feel horrible. When i eat I feel huge & look huge. Poeple tell me I am skinny & have a problem but I dont believe them. I want to be anorexic skinny but i dont know how. how do i lose weight without my mom noticing? My mom doesnt want me to lose weight & is worried about me. But now i always feel huge & want to be super skinny! My hair falls out alot too & i am like always cold. please help me!

Answer
If you're anorexic, you have a mental problem. That sounds harsh, but you see, I AM anorexic. Currently in another recovery period.
Did you know that anorexia is the number ONE most fatal of all psychological disorders? ALL anorexics will die. 100%. If we don't stop, it will kill us and it won't be pretty.

Before you get too sick, get some help. REAL help. Find a support group in your area or through your mental health center (local hospital, your doctor's office, etc). You probably have a degree of BDD (body dysmorphic disorder), where you have unreasonable and untrue self-perceptions.

take a look at my site and look more into the anorexia facts (and options).

If you are anorexic, you can't help it. It's like being schizophrenic or having any of hundred of mental disorders.
If you're NOT anorexic, surely you aren't hoping to aquire a psychogical disorder are you?
