Do I have an eating disorder?

Question

Whenever I look into the mirror I see some heavy girl who needs to loose weight and no matter how many times people I know and the few I don't know tell me I'm thin I can't believe them why? I'm 12 and I weigh 94 pounds and I'm 5'5 5'4 ish. Am I really skinney or is everyone just saying that. My mom is worried because my aunt had a horrible eating disorder. My cousin also had an eating problem but she's over it. Please help.

Answer 1

Ya I'm afraid you do. You are skinny. According to the information you've provided. I have concluded that you have mild anorexia nervosa. One of the symptoms of anorexia is distorted body image. I'm 13, 5'2 and 128. I'm chubby. Do you ever refrain from eating because of what you think of yourself? If you do not eat much at all, then that further confirms that you have anorexia. You should get help. Everybody finds imperfections with themselves no matter how perfect they are. If you get help you should be fine. Don't worry. :) Fell free to contact me and you can tell me all about it if you want. You'll be fine. If you are discontented with your body image, than you should maybe get a membership to a gym. I have a membership to 24 hour fitness and I love it. It makes me feel better. Maybe it would do the same for you. Just a suggestion. :) No worries

Well it isn't anorexia possibly slightly disordered consuming. It's no longer healthful. That's how I had been in recent years. I misplaced 30 a few kilos in view that August. I would stand to lose it regardless that however it isn't the right manner.

no I'm 12 too. 13 in 18 days tho. Im a bit shorter than you [[ 5'2" short suckkkks]] and im like 95ish but i have a ton of muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. as long as u eat healthy, good portions 3 meals a day with some snacks in between your fine. I mean my friend whos a lil shorter than me [[is it POSSIBLE?!]] is liek 89. SHES skinny. lol

my mom and sister had big frames when they were my age so theyre always liek YOUR SOOO SKINNY then i look into the mirror and see fat but of course thats what im looking for.


hope this helps =]

Uh you're pretty freaking skinny. You are 12 though and are tall for your age. I'm 23 and 5'5 and weigh 120 and am UNDERweight...everyone is unhappy with what they see but maybe if you're concerned about yourself you should talk with your mom and doctor to figure something out.

Answer 5

You could very have Body Dismorphic Disorder. I want you to do a search on it and research this, okay? It is very common and can lead to an eating disorder. Right now is the time when you need to grow adn eat and get very strong bones to last you your entire life...read, research, honestly evaluate whether this sounds like you....

Answer 6

Your lighter than your suppose to be. I think you have the early onsets of an eating disorder. You should probably see a counselor or psychologist for help. You can also go here for support http://www.geocities.com/helpprob

Answer 7

For how tall you are you are Way wunder weight!! I believe that you should talk to your mom and doctor about! You may very well have a eating disorder

Answer 8

Yes i think you are heading in that direction if you don't seek help right now before it get worst. You are only 12 enjoy life, don't worry about looking like a stick in is not attractive anyways. You think guys like sticky looking girls they don't.

Answer 9

According to this website, you are at a healthy weight. I would try to start gaiing though. If you stay the same weight and get older, you will no longer be healthy.
