What Could Be Wrong With Me?

I'm 14 and this happens a lot, I make/get food, but I can't get myself to eat it. My stomach acts up when I even think of food.I makes me feel as if I'm going to throw up.
I do eat breakfast at school, but then again, the school's food isn't very good.

I've been thinking it might have something to do with me because I've been trying to lose weight (cause at the beginning of the year I was only about 110 now I'm at 125.5, when I've been trying to get down to at least 100, or at the very least get rid of my baby fat.)

By saying "something to do with me" I mean like my mind. Could it have something to do with me trying to lose weight? Maybe I'm becoming anorexic?

I've been lonely lately too...Also a lot of stress has been bothering me. Could it maybe have something to do with me feeling guilty with myself? (There's a really cute boy in my grade and I'm to shy to talk to him...But that's another story.)

I've found myself not eating as much as I usually would, and drinking more than I probably should.

No, I am not pregnant! I've a virgin for crying out load. (Sorry this had to be said because someone had suggested this on somebody else's post that has this same symptoms I have.)

Welcome to being a 14 year old female.  Why not find a counselor to talk to -- you already know what's wrong, so find out why you're not fixing it.

This is my first time trying this system.  I do know that many teens struggle with weight loss.  It could be helpful to keep a listing of all your food and activities for about 1 week.  Then you can look back over this to specify when you eat, what and how much as well as give you an idea of the amount of activity you do.  As a side bar this could be used at school for a project or a science project.  Use your problem (a lemon) and make some lemonade.  By making this a project you might be able to get another friend to help you and then it becomes more grade related instead of a guilt related event.  Which brings up:  why are you lonely?  Why stressed?

Sounds like it may be anxiety/depression.  You need to see a doctor though if you feel this is serious.  Excess stress can also have this effect on a person.  It's one way the body tends to deal with it.  I would suggest doing activities that relieve your stress.  Hobbies you may enjoy.  In the meantime, get rid of the very things that stress you out.
