I would throw out my breakfast when no one was looking, drink a pop for lunch to keep enough energy to last me until supper time, then have a big meal. I was on the dance team and improv. team and I had to be in front of the whole school so I always worked out and rarely ate, especially in public. I felt guilty for eating food. By the end of grade 9 I was 5'3" and weighed 87 lbs. Ended up passing out in gym class once and had to have a teacher watch me eat lunch after that which was humiliating.
Now I say I eat healthy so that I can maintain a steady weight between 105-110 lbs. I was so proud of myself over the summer because I felt really okay with myself and finally figured out guys aren't gonna think I'm ugly for having curves. (It's rather the opposite.) I put up posters of pinups in my room to remind me of that and got my weight up to 115lbs. Then I got the flu and stopped eating for a bit when I got fired and lost 10lbs in 2 weeks. I also have an irregular heart beat sometimes from losing so much weight.
Back up to almost 110 now though :D Moral of the story is don't go crazy to be skinny. Uber-skinny leads to heart problems.

I updated my previous post, please read it. You are totally correct, people that are obsessed with being too skinny are a danger to themselves. You will most likely gain weight as you grow older. Don't destroy youself trying to fight it. Live a healthy active life and try to eat right, beyond that, if you're not skinny enough for society's fucked up opinions, so what. Be healthy!
And when I was in my early 20's I had to eat to try to gain weight. It's not going to last ladies.
