My Leo is 1 year old I feed her 4-8 large crickets a day and every other day she gets some peaches or banana she barely moves and I'm really worried! Is she sick!?!?! Am I starving her?!?!?
My Leo looks deflated!!!!!!

You'll have to supply more info, the little bit you said isn't much to go on.
Give details on housing - temperature of the enclosure. Do yo supplement (dust) the feeders, how often, and what products?
Give as much detail as you can, to make it easier to pinpoint what her problem might be, and how to correct it.
Pictures of the gecko, top and side views will go a long way to figuring out how bad she is.

She also has some little rocks that she climbs on and a heating pad on the bottom of her tank I turn it off at night I don't dust her feeder
Sounds like your gecko is in desperate need of proper care. It could easily have MBD, sometimes called "rubber bones", which would make it look deflated.
Have you followed the recommendations in a decent care sheet?
You need to dust the feeders, vitamins and minerals, because the feeders we have usually don't supply the proper nutrients the gecko needs.
You have to check the heat, if it's not warm enough, the gecko can't digest its food properly. Turning the heat off at night isn't a good idea either, but in some circumstances, with proper care, it could be okay. I doubt that's the case with your gecko.
Read this care sheet. It's long, but if you read the first post, you'll see what you should do to care for your gecko, and can see where you're going wrong and how to fix it. The rest of the posts go into more detail, but the first post is a good summary.
