I'm a big time softball and soccer player. I found that i had gained a few lbs over the summer that i vowed to work hard to lose during soccer camp at the beginning of august. I started eating very healthy eating 1000 calories of pure protein only egg whites no butter on ym toast/ salads/ no high sugar fruit. I stand at 5' 2" and weighed 116 lbs at this time. Im pretty muscular. But i guess i started taking this diet to an extreme now i skip breakfast, i eat no more than five strawberries or one bananna for lunch, and one pure protein bar for dinner. I drink ice cold water all day long to try to burn off the calories I feel I dont burn off running at soccer practice. I now weigh in at 104 lbs. I want to quit this diet but its become an obsession I dont know what to do I cant go back to eating the wayi used to.
Am I developing anorexia? I'm scared to death my eating habits have changed big time?

You don't say what age you are but im assuming teens.It was natural of you to want to loose the extra pounds but then maybe when you found out you where losing the few extra pounds you got a rush and then got addicted to that rush.You started off very well but the slipped into near anorexia,it's really good you have noticed it before you go to far.I Know myself it can be difficult to get back to regular eating habits but do you really want to be 35 and have such a crippling eating disorder that you cant even eat real food or clothe yourself?I'm sure you don't.Please start trying to go back to eating healthy with all you'r protein etc.Try and find another way to get you'r rush and then get back to eating!If you can't do it by you'rself dont be afraid to ask for help from someone you trust,good luck :)
Stop! You are underweight! Please, please stop. I play the same sports and did the same thing. I became so worn out and never felt like doings anything. I lost both of my starting positions a few seasons ago because I was so slow. I am now 5'5" and 125 lbs. and still extremly skinny. After I began eating normally again I had so much energy and got my starting spots back. You are completely fine just the way you are. Just eating normally, don't skip breakfast, and avoid junk food. If it is still hard ask friends and/or family for support in making sure your eating.
