Answer 1

You're too skinny. You should never throw up after you eat - that's called bulemia. The only time you should throw up is when you're sick with the flu or drunk.

You seriously have an eating disorder - or at least the beginnings of one. You should go see your school nurse or a counselor about it.

Answer 2

Thats unhealthy hun. You need to gain about 20lbs. at least. It will fill your face and body out beautifully, it won't make you look fat gaining the amount of weight to get to a healthy point.

Talk to a doctor, and a nutritionalist..they can give you suggestions on what to eat and how to become a healthy weight. Why hurt yourself and cause yourself pain? Reach out, get some help... don't create any unnecessary pain for yourself by throwing up your food...even if you don't usually...your metabolism is obviously fast or you dont' eat enough....so speak to a medical professional.

Answer 3

Yes, way too skinny - obviously if you do throw up some of the time then you ARE bulimic. And you are anorexic. And even if you don't think you're too skinny you ARE too skinny. Thats an unhealthy weight, totally. Believe me, you probably look like a walking skeleton, and that is NOT attractive.

Answer 4

I would say you are. I am 5'5 and my weight is usually around 117-123 lbs. I would suggest that you see your family doctor and let him examine you. Being too skinny can cause as many health problems as being to fat. I have read articles in a certain teen magazine where they interviewed high school boys, and most admitted that they liked the girls that had "a little meat on their bones".
I wish you luck, and please take care of yourself.

Answer 5

I would say yes and if you eat a lot and can't gain weight then may I suggest you talk to you doctor. I have friends that have thyroid conditions and were either way-over or way-underweight most of their lives and their doctor(s) did a set of blood tests to find the cause. Also weight is dependent on how active you are. ***most important though is do you like how you look, if yes then don't worry ***

Answer 6

When I was in high school, I was 5'4" and 88 pounds, but I was healthy. That's what matters most: just being healthy. Now, I'm still 5'4" and 113. I filled out after I stopped growing upwards. I think you'll be OK.

Just eat healthy and get some moderate exercise.

Answer 7

no, you don't throw up at all. makeing urself throw up to much can make your teeth look REALLY bad cuz of all the stomach acid. and i am in 6th grade and im 5'4'' i weigh 93 lb. being that skinny is ok but make sure you eat and keep yourself healthy. people think i look anorexic too. they don't understand that you can look like that and still eat. i eat more than my bff and she's 5'2'' and weighs 93 also. just eat and don't throw up or your teeth will fall out. yuck!

Answer 8

Sorry but that is way gross I bet you dont get many guys. I would take weight gainer before I let myself get that skinny. Too skinny is way worse than fat. Grab a milk shake and some fries.

Oh and I noticed someone said something about Nicole Richie. She looks absolutely awful and just think she is only 5'2.

Answer 9

Oh, I'm the same size! But I don't throw up usually. I'm healthy. I eat right and exercise kinda alot. If you throw up more on purpose you have bulimia. Get help is you do so. It's not a "lifestyle", or any other bullcrap spin they put on their serious disease.
