I went from 185 to 109 in 9 months and I am currently losing more weight, so right about now I am 106. Friends and family say I'm anorexic. I have some symptoms of anorexia, but I dont know if I have it. Does anyone have any advice on if I'm anorexic or not based on this info?

do you always think of a way to avoid eating food and if you eat how to get it out of your body?
Do you eat VERY LITTLE portions of food?
Do you where over sized clothing because your body is so thin?
IAre you healthy or unhealthy

Well, i don't know. Anorexia is a mental illness rather than a physical illness. The physical symptoms are a result of the mental illness underlying it. It is impossible to be diagnosis over the Internet. If you are concern you may have anorexia then I highly recommend you see a psychologist or even better a psychiatrist. I don't want to spook you but anorexia should be taken seriously.
Some telltale signs are: 95% of anorexics are female, it usually develops during high school or college, there is a family history of anorexia, anoxerics usually belong to upper or middle class economic families, usually Caucasian and anorexics are always preoccupy with their body image (i.e. always think they are too fat) and is usually brought on by stress. Classic case is a young woman who exercises for hours each day and only eats two oranges.

Only you can answer the question about the anorexia. Are you losing weight sensibly. Are you exercising moderately and eating healthy foods? Losing 76 pouds in 9 months is not a radical weight loss. You may be slightly underweight for your height now (probably should be in the 120-135 range for a healthy weight) although it does vary depending on your build. You haven't indicated whether you are male or female either??
What was the reason for wanting to lose this weight?

If you think you are anorexic, get to a doctor and get an "official" diagnosis.
The speed of weight loss - around 2 lb per week, which is generally considered a healthy rate - isn't the big issue here.
Your BMI (17.6) puts you in thr underweight range for your height, although this isn't the only measure that counts. According to BMI a healthy weight range for you would be 115 to 150 lb.

Based on your info, yes, I would say so. You're extremely thin for your height and, based on your info, it's not your natural frame.
You can get help. You've recognized the problem, now go to a psychologist or psychiatrist. You can get over this (perhaps with anti-depressants). You know you have a problem, do something about it! Good luck!

106 is way too low of a weight for your height. To reach a healthy, but still slim, weight range you should weigh at least 118 pounds.
Do you look at yourself and still think your fat? If so, then yes you have aneorexia and should seek help.
