anorexia is when you think you are "fat", no matter what your body image, so you purposely don't eat. You are still hungry.
You felt sick after you ate because your body wasn't used to a full stomach. You are not anorexic. It's probably a phase. I go through that sometimes, especially in the summer when it is hot. I just don't feel like eating. The important thing is you put some kind of food(healthy food, easy on the tummy) in your body at least once a day. And drink plenty of fruit juices, veggie drinks (V8) milk, and water in the meantime until your appetite comes back. If you are on medications, they can cause appetite suppression. But if this goes on too long and you start losing weight, you should go to the doctor.

It takes a lot more than just not eating to be considered anorexic. If you are just not hungry, then no, you are probably not anorexic. Anorexia is a mental disorder that really does not have much to do with food, and more to do with underlying issues that are brought out in the form of food issues, same as every other eating disorder. Read the Wikipedia article, if you still have questions there are many other websites out there that can help you understand more as well.

Based on what you described, I don't believe anorexia is your problem here. Lack of appetite for two weeks can be a symptom of a serious illness. Go to your family doctor immediately.

.. possibly you're just sick?
this is the DSM-IV Criteria for Anorexia Nervosa
see if any of these symptoms apply to you.
you cant really diagnose something like this off of such little info and online.. but i hope this helps
