I have lost 40+ lbs in just under a year. But I lost 2 lbs in the last week and I wasn't even trying. I have been eating 3 meals a day and I haven't had the time 2 excersise. I have read the sympoms for anorexia and there are only a couple that I have. Depression is one, Insomnia, I was a good student, and a love 4 tea. Am I anorexic?

If you have to run around in the shower to get wet, you might be anorexic.
Seriously, if you think you might be, you need to work on it. Get help if necessary. Anorexics, not only are not healthy, they do not look as good as ladies with a little substance to them. I'll take the weight anytime, over the boney look.

The fact that you felt something was wrong, looked up information on eating disorders, and asked this question tells me part of you knows something is off. TRUST that part of yourself and seek help if needed.
How do YOU feel about your body? What's your relationship with food and body like? If you are eating when hungry and stopping when full, that's a good sign. If you are restricting your caloric intake to maintain a lower weight, or you are compulsively overeating, that will certainly throw off your natural weight (or "set point" at which your body settles).
Here's a link for more info on eating disorders, and to find a therapist or support group incase you'd like it... Good luck!

doesn't sound like it, its good to lose weight, well i guess only if your overweight to begin with, and 40 lbs in a yr isn't bad, just keep eating healthy and don't slip meals and your good to go...i believe anorexia is when women skip meals and don't eat and then their body goes into starvation mode and has to thrive on its own fat...so your fine

A love for tea? Is that a sign of an anorexic? If you aren't obsessed with food, then you aren't anorexic. Try not to dwell on it too long; that's when it can get dangerous.

well you are eating good enough...i think this has to do something about your diet..i guess you are eating not-so-much nutrients....you get my point..try to supplement your diet with essential vitamins you need.you are not anorexic that's for sure.
try to see a doctor..you might need a screening test for any parasites on your gastro.just try..it's for your own health.goodluck

you know you are anorexic when you are as skinny as a toothpick and you aren't eating right.
