So, for those who don't know British weights, a stone is 14 pounds.
You weigh 122 pounds. At 5 foot five, you could use to gain a bit more weight, depending on your build. But the problem is you see nothing but fat. Right now you are thinking clearly enough to realize this may not be entirely accurate. Before you relapse, you need to tell your huardian, so they can help you before you fall back into the illness.

If i recall correctly, 8 stone is about 110 pounds, so you'd be 120 pounds or thereabouts.
For your height, that's not fat.
The really important thing is not how fat you are or are not in reality. The important thing is how you see yourself. This is not to say that if you see yourself as fat, you should lose more weight. Rather than changing your weight/appearance, work on changing your perceptions on your weight/appearance.
I can't say i have any experience with what you're going through; i had an eating disorder at one point, but it was more on the other side of the scale. I do know that either way, these are difficult things to work through, and i know that the trick to get over what i got over was to work on learning how to love myself regardless of how i looked.

Sounds a little light to me. I am 6 foot and 175 pounds or about 12.5 stones as a guy.
You're at 122 pounds and another 15 pounds or 1 stone would be good.
To those that asked....1 stone = 14 pounds so this young person is 8 stones + 10 lbs = 122lbs.

Remember you are beautiful. Go to the mirror and point out positive points about yourself, leaving out th "buts" and negativities.
Here is a BMI calculator: http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/dieting/bmi.html
Scroll down to put in your information and it will give you a number, then explain the number. (BMI=Body Mass Index) This will tell you if you are underweight, normal, or overweight.
Surround yourself with encouragement and people who ill watch over you and keep you on track, so that way you won't relapse. I have a friend going through the same thing. Just make sure you have friends and family checking up on you to make sure you're on the right track. :) You can do it.

Girl... I am fat and I am cool with it!....you know why?... because I am still hot and get hit on everytime I go out!....and as for anorexia... would you rather be fat or dead?.....fat .. I know ... plus if you want to stay in shape or lose eat only 2,000 calories a day and do wieghts for 10 minutes you burn more fat than running. And eat jello instead of ice cream beagle instead of donut small things that you will not really notice before you are eating healthy!

What is 8st?? If the guy above me is correct and you weight 10 pounds that's not possible and you need to get a life!! If you mean 80 pounds yes you are really skinny, seek help! Seek help anyway just because this question is confusing!!

I had ana, too, and refused to work with my nutritionist and get up to a "healthy" weight. Then the bingeing started, and now I am actually overweight. This is not a rare phenomenon.
So work with a professional and trust them. It will save you LOTS of hell and regret later.
Oh, and the base healthy weight for a five-foot five girl is 125 pounds. I am not sure what it is for males.

You are still a little bit underweight. So do NOT lose anything. You should see you doctor since your anorexia has reared it's ugly head again. Before you give in to it and get extremely sick.

Go to mom or dad I am loosing my sister in law to this disorder and the thought of her son my nephew loosing hismom is killing me. I wouldn't want to know what it would feel like to loose a child. So go to your parents if they are around. There are many places to go to for help....I will help you look if you need me too....
