Answer 1

There are four basic criteria for the diagnosis of anorexia nervosa that are characteristic:

1. The refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height. Body weight less than 85% of the expected weight is considered minimal.
2. An intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though the person is underweight.
3. Self-perception that is grossly distorted and weight loss that is not acknowledged.
4. In women who have already begun their menstrual cycle, at least three consecutive periods are missed (amenorrhea), or menstrual periods occur only after a hormone is administered.

There is more, but if you do not have those four, you are not anorexic. If you suffer from a few of them, however, you might be suffering from EDNOS - Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified - which can be just, if not more dangerous. If you think you have any eating disorder, go to a doctor.

It sounds that you are suffering from at least two, possibly three. I strongly suggest going to a doctor!

Answer 2

That sounds like anorexia to me or at least the warning signes. Infact your description almost fits to a T. Fear of obesity. Lying about what yoou eat. Hiding food. Excercising alot and being annoyed when you can't. You shuld talk to your parents. You are probably already very thin. Feel free to contact me if you wanna talk.

Answer 3

You're anorexic, I used to be the same way. You need to see a psychiatrist, because it sounds like you may be on your way to bulimia.

Make for yourself specific times a day to eat, 8:30 am, 12:30pm, 6:00 pm. Make sure you eat at the times you set, don't get upset if you can't eat a lot and don't let anyone force you to eat. After a while your body will get used to the routine and you'll feel hungry. I do recommend going to a psychologist though because your behavior and your feelings are not normal.

YOU ARE ANOREXIC, if you don't want to believe us then go to your doctor.

Answer 4

Anorexia.

Answer 5

You certainly have an eating disorder, and should see both your doctor and a psychiatrist to get help. There are both psychological and physical repercussions.

Answer 6

You have Anorexia!
