Answer:
To be honest you sound like you could be in the grip of Anorexia. Your weight is very low. Periods don't always stop with Anorexia, physical effects symptoms are very much a case by case individual situation. My wife has had Anorexia on and off for many years. I recommend you speak to your parents or if you can't, somebody you trust, ASAP, before this makes you sick and takes over your life any more.
You do not need to be really skinny to be anorexic. Fat people can be anorexic<< it's just a matter of not eating much at all, that's what you can call anorexic. there's a difference b/w LOOKING it and actually BEING IT.
it depends how long you've been keeping up with these bad habits will it affect your period. if you keep limiting yourself, it will get you and you will lose it. Do you love yourself? ask yourself this, really. if you do, then you will do what you know is right for you--eat. please.
You have anorexic tendencies. Since you explain you are terrified of gaining weight, don't eat most days, and you are definitely not underweight. You need to see a counselor.
That could become anorexia... you do seem too skinny. Try to eat atleast 2 meals a day. Even if they're small! Try really hard because that isnt healthy. I have a friend like you who my friends and I are kind of worried about. We keep telling her but like she still ran a mile @ P.E. which is NOT normal...
Try to stop obsessing and don't talk about it excessively because when my friend did that everybody jus thought that she did it for attention.
You should stop hating your body because soon you are going to realize and regret not eating a lot. You really have to focus on staying healthy.

Your BMI indicates "underweight" but considering your age you may not be. Ask your family doctor.
i would like to suggest eating at least 6 small meals i mean they might be small but they count on running your metabilism my theory is if you keep going like that everything you eat your body will store to fat and you will feel even more like crap. and your metabilism system is soo jacked up from starvation and random eating moments that once you do start eating it wont burn off easily at an older age... btw you have to have soo many calories a day or your body goes into starvation mode which = massive fat storage and lose of muscle because the body depends on eating muscle to keep it energized... therefor your just screwing yourself over when you dont eat.. its like a short term happiness of being skinny but long term your really screwing yourself over ... and its easier to get cancer and other stuff like that when your body doesnt get the proper nuetritions... heads up and eat healthy girl +) ! your only 14. skipping meals shouldnt be the way you would want to go its stunts growth instead go workout =) or have an outside activity ... join school teams DO SOMETHING haahaha
