Ht. 5'8", Wt. 168 - Okay I have been sick these past three days and it really sucks. I've been living on toast and chicken soup. Yesterday I ate an entire 200 calories and I can't eat anymore then 200 calories a day. I throw up if I eat to much and I don't know what to do. I also been drinking 7-up due that's what my doctor told me to drink. Well in these 3 days I went from 168 to 155. I know that's really unhealthy I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to tell my mom either she doesn't even know I was on a diet before I got sick. What should I do? Any suggestions?

I know how you feel, I hate that! I WANT to eat more but I just throw it up so it makes you worse. Tell your mom about trying to lose weight, and let her know all the reasons she would care about. Like instead of saying I want to look good in a bikini say that you want to be healthy. Good luck and feel better!

i would just focus on getting better, you cant help not being able to eat much, you probably got told to drink 7up to keep your sugar levels up so i wouldnt worry about that. i know you've lost a lot of weight in a small amount of time but when you start eating properly again when you're feeling better, your weight will return to as it was before or similar so i wouldnt worry about that! hope you get better soon!
