What a stupid answer you gave, Schneb. "If you eat food you're not anorexic." I'm a recovering ED person and I have to tell you. We still eat on occasion, even if it's just a couple of times per week. So of course she eats food.
Think about it, Schneb, you scheisskopf. If someone eats "food" yes, FOOD, once a day, and the FOOD the person eats has 100 calories in it, the person IS starving, according to scientific definitions.
Anorexia is a very complex disease involving our bodies and our minds. If you are as underweight as you are (according to this website, you really are by almost 20 pounds [http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm]) and you look in the mirror and see a fat person, if you obsess about your weight, if you are a perfectionist about many things especially your calorie intake and any exercise you might do to purge yourself, you may very well be anorexic.
If you do not have any of the feelings above, or don't suspect you do, you may have a hormonal or a glandular issue. And as others suggested, you should see a doctor. Either way, you need to see a doctor. From your writing, I am guessing you are quite young. Do you not have parents around to notice your severe underweightness?
It's a long road to healing, and I wish you all the best.

Do you eat? At 5'7" and 107, you are certainly underweight. There is no way you have a big stomach. If it sticks out, you might try situps or crunches, but you certainly don't need to stop eating.
If you will develop the habit of eating mostly fruit and vegetables, with a couple of servings of meat per day, you will be fine. If you choose to count calories, try to eat 1000 per day at the very least. That will keep you healthy but not big. At 5'7", you should probably weigh 115 to 120.

Yes, it sounds like you may have something going on. At 5'7", you should probably have at least 25 -30 pounds more weight on you.
If you don't eat then you may have anorexia, but if you do eat and try to maintain your physical health...maybe you have body dis-morphia...or maybe some sort of glandular problem.
Check it out with a physician!!

consume, whenever you're interior the corporation of those human beings, have some thing which you're snacking on or ingesting. don't be working to the bathing room appropriate once you consume. this could help to persuade them which you do not have a issue. Anorexic in certainty potential you're slowly starving your self to dying. that's an rather undesirable situation. I make it easier to be responsive to this with very own experience. not being anorexic, yet being accused of it. My metabolism did that to me for decades. human beings who did not see me ingesting questioned. every physique who witnesses the quantity of snacks and food that i bypass via in a popular day realizes i'm not every physique who's attempting to not consume. additionally, the human beings who reported & questioned those issues approximately me have been actual worried. that's sturdy to have human beings agonize approximately this, no remember how aggravating that's to you regularly. think of roughly if it exchange into the different. What in case you have been rather, relatively anorexic and there exchange into no person that cared sufficient to assert something and every physique merely make it easier to die a slow dying. have fun which you have many human beings who care approximately you.

Anorexia is defined here pretty well : http://www.anred.com/defswk.html
You do seem underweight but if you're not starving yourself you may have a higher metabolism than most people. Have a doctor check your thyroid to make sure it's working properly.
I don't know what you mean by "big stomach"....I doubt it's fat but it may be bloated. If that's the case....go see a doctor.

How "emo" is related to this, I really don't know, but anyway, anorexia is a psychological problem, not just a food one. If you starve yourself to become thin, I think you're anorexic.

well according to your bmi, your underweight hardcore. it could be that you just put all your weight into your stomach and that the rest of you is really skinny. but i think youre only anorexic if you starve yourself.
