Sometimes when we don't have control over certain situations in our life, like emotions, or home situations, we learn behaviors that give us that control. By limiting your food intake you've learned how to make yourself feel better.

Whats going on in your life that's making you need to do this? Do you have parents at home that you are able to talk to about the hard parts of your day? An older sister maybe? Holding all of the hard, hurtful feelings inside also makes us feel a lack of control and those have to come out at some point....
