If you are obsessed about your weight and think that not eating at all is the only way to lost the weight then you might have a problem.

You are not fat, you are fine (thin in fact), but you are not anorexic unless you stop getting your period and lose (I think) 10% of your original weight in an extremely short amount of time. Here is the problem - you do not eat enough, therefore you could be on your way to anorexia. You should be eating about 1500 - 1800 calories a day (for your height and if you are active). You may find after doing this for a month, that you body actually drops a couple pounds because you will regulate your metabolism. You do not want to have to live off 800 calories/day for the rest of your life, so get yourself normal. You are not fat...

Anorexic people think they are fat even when they are very very thin. They throw up after they eat because they think they are fat so they get thinner and thinner. 5'2 and 113 lbs is not anorexic. Whether you need to lose weight or not depends on how your body carries the weight. If you see a roll on your belly do sit ups. If you don't you are fine. :-D - PeAcE

You're a fine weight. In order to be considered anorexic, you can't have had a period for three months, and there's usually little fine hairs all over you. Anorexic people have strange food habits, i.e. not letting the fork touch their lips, cutting the food into tiny pieces, etc. They obsess about food and weight all the time.
If you'd like to read a book about an anorexic girl, I'd recommend The Best Little Girl in the World, by Steven Levenkron.

I myself am an anorexic, i however do not encourage it, if you think this will persist, get help NOW, if you need anything e-mail me at ElizaDushku@mac.com.
please do not badger me through e-mail i already know how bad it is and am in the process of getting help
p.s. 800 calories a day is WAY too little dont go any lower than 1200!

See your doctor to determine if you are or are not anorexic. I can promise you though at 5' 2" and 113 lbs you are not fat.

800 calories a day is not healthy. Your weight sounds fine for your height.
