How do I tell my volleyball coach that I am anorexic?

I have been by definition 'anorexic' for over a year now and am 15 years old. Being in volleyball, track, FBLA, speech, and everything else on my giant list of things in my freshman year of high school drove me over the edge in my perfectionism and triggered me. But already being 5'8 and 116 pounds to start with doesn't leave a lot of room for extreme weight loss, so I've only lost 15 pounds since then. Problem is, people are beginning to notice. I used to be able to cover up my not eating perfectly and no one suspected. Now that volleyball is starting, it as made it insanely hard to not eat. When my coach ordered pizzas for our team at a volleyball camp we were at, I only ate half a slice. Both my coaches asked me multiple times if I wanted more pizza and cheese sticks but I refused. I believe they suspect I'm anorexic now. I know this is going to come up on my athletic physical I have in a month, due to my weight loss and lack of a period for 6 months. Honestly, I'm kind of relieved someone will find out because this addiction is scaring me and I can no longer control it anymore and I'm afraid to die being beautiful. Problem is, I'm terrified of disappointing my head volleyball coach. He's kind of like a second father to me and I just don't know how I'm going to tell him once my physicals over. What do I say to him?How do I tell my volleyball coach that I am anorexic?
Talk to them privately after practice. I can't give you a how to guide for this situation, when it happens you'll find the words just fly out of your mouth at some point.

Before you tell them, ask yourself this. Why are you telling your coach? If it's to get help, make that clear.How do I tell my volleyball coach that I am anorexic?
Your not anorexic. You noticed weight loss, and want to get more weight = not anorexic!
