When you stop eating your body thinks you are out in the desert or the wilderness, with no food, and that it'll be a long while before you eat again, so it stores food to ration off later. That means lots of the fats and sugars you eat get stored. If you eat frequently, even if its just an apple or an orange you could be doing so much more for your body. Starving yourself ruins your concentration, and with school starting you'd want to get into a healthy eating plan. It takes 21 consequetive days to break a habit or start another, so why dont you make an effort to set aside half a day if possible or just a few times a week, before school or after, to do some exercise. Everyone can lose weight, if it was so easy we'd all look like supermodels, im not going to say it'll be easy, but everyone can do it. If you learn to accept yourself then you'll be twice as successful, trust me.
