Am I anorexic?

Question

im 5'4" and i weigh 115 pounds and im 13 years old. is that bad? i have pics if u need a visual aid(just leave ur e-mail and i'll send them to u).

Answer 1

I'm 5'6", 115, and I'm not anorexic. It depends more on your eating habits than your body size. As long as you are eating a healthy amount and doing moderate exercise, your body is normal for you.

Answer 2

Ok, first of all, do you eat? If you are that weight based on genetics, physical activity, healthy eating, it's fine. To be anorexic is to starve yourself of needed food, vitamins, minerals, hydration...I would look up the definition of anorexia nervosa to understand it better...as I am certainly no expert. If you feel that you eat normally and are not gaining weight, it may be either just normal for you OR it could be a simple medical issue, like a thyroid infection~ nothing to getting freaked out over. I would ask my parent/s to make a doctor's appt. for me to just get everything checked out and let her/him know what your concerns are, that's what they're there for.
IF you are NOT eating to lose weight, this is a whole other topic and you can e-mail me for some resources, ok? Take care.

Answer 3

If you were anorexic there are many symptoms that follow for this diagnosis. When a person is anorexic they basically starve themselves. They may workout non-stop and keep track of every single calorie they put in their mouths. I think that you are thin but not anorexic! If you think that you are anorexic seek help from a professional (school counselor or Doctor).

Answer 4

no. 5'4 isnt that tall and ur only 13. i weigh like 130 and im 20. but im that light though cuz im a pro athlete . just eat if u think u are anorexic

Answer 5

Anorexia is an eating disorder... more specifically it is a disorder where you don't eat...

As long as you eat, you are not considered anorexic... 5'4" and 115 is perfectly normal. You will gain weight and fill out as you get older.

Answer 6

being thin isnt being anorexic...not eating at all is. and then there is bulemia and thats when you throw up after you eat. so until youre not eating at all or youre throwing up after meals, youre ok. beisides, 115 is a nice weight to be at at 5'4"...also, youre only 13, your woman parts havent finished growing in, and when they do, theyll add a little weight as well.

Answer 7

Anorexia is about your feelings about food, not about your weight.

Do you eat 3 healthy meals daily? Do you like your body? If so, you are not anorexic.

Do you dislike your body? Think you are fat? Are you afraid of food, feel guilty about eating, or do you limit your food intake, or do you consume less than 1000 calories daily? If so, you are possibly anorexic and need to talk to a trusted adult, like a parent, teacher, counselor, doctor, clergy person...

Good luck!

Answer 8

Sound totally normal so I think ur fine. Plus if someone happens to be really skinny but still eats normally that doesn't mean they're anorexic, it means they're lucky!

Answer 9

No I think that sounds ok.
As long as you eat and don't worry about your weight you'll be fine. I am 5'2 and weighed 98 pounds until I was 28. I was thin but not to thin, and I ate like a pig and didn't worry about it.

Answer 10

when your anorexic, you don't eat at all and/or do excessive workouts. if you are a shorter person then its just that your that way, or your just super skinny and eat normally, because some people are. but if you have signs of being anorexic, you should start eating or see a doctor. thats my advice.
