Answer 1

Yes, that is anorexia. If you keep it up you will experience dizzy if not fainting spells. You could create thyroid probs among many other probs. Your body needs food for energy and to stay alive. Just eat less fats and higher calorie foods to stay trim or lose weight. Because when you do go back to eating, and you will one day or another, it will put even more weight on you. The body will store calories to preserve them because the body won't know when more will be coming so it sort of "panics" and "protects" any energy it gets. Best to just eat sensibly and exercise. Besides, ultra-thin isn't in, anymore. It looks and is UNHEALTHY.
Good luck and God Bless. P.S. 92 lbs..... how old and tall are you? You didn't say.

Answer 2

I think the fact that YOU DON'T EAT is enough of a sign to tell you you are going too far. In case you are wondering .... yes! You are an anorexic!

A proper diet is not missing meals. As a matter of fact, you are REQUIRED to eat! You just have to eat the right food at the right quantities.

The right food need not be tasteless, you know. A lot of these food are actually quite good! It really all depends on the way it is cooked and prepared. Knowing what food to avoid helps.

For example, soda is sugar. If you are losing weight, lay off the soda. Drink water and herbal tea instead. Lay off the ice cream. Again, sugar. If you must have something cold and sweet then eat a fruit sherbet. Lay off the baked goods, especially icing laden ones. Again, it's sugar. If you must eat baked goods have a carrot cake and limit yourself to one moderate slice or one cupcake.

The key is not deprivation, it's MODERATION.

Also, it helps to know what your ideal BMI (body mass index) is and compare it to your current BMI. If you want to know your ideal weight, you can try visiting this site: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm. Or you can use your favorite search engine and search for "body mass index calculators".

Hope your health improves soon.

Answer 3

I think you have taken it a bit too far...You should eat 4 or 5 small low fat meals during the day. This will keep your energy up and also drink lots of water and green tea.

Answer 4

Ok, stop, breathe, breathe deeply, and think.

Do you eat healthy?
protein
vegetables & fruit
fiber
milk or dairy
soy if not milk?
yogurt

and do you feel healthy? If not take a good look inside, and I think it's not what you eat, it's what's eating you....that you are complaining about.....Smile more and relax...you're saying alot when you ask...."dieting too far"...and you answered your own question.
