Answer 1

If you are asking yourself if you have an eating disorder, you probably do.

Answer 2

Are you trying to lose weight or is it that you have no appetite?
Do you want to maintain your weight but you can't force your self to eat? How long has this been going on?.
You need to talk to a health professional that knows all the questions to ask. Also, I"m sure that you can do a search on Google and find out what the symptoms are. Lack of appetite can be a symptom of Depression. If you aren't fat but see yourself as fat, that can be one of the symptoms of an eating disorder.
You see what I mean.
