Answer 1

Uhm, anorexia is an eating disorder. Ask yourself these questions: 1) Do you find yourself not eating alot, even when hungry? 2) Do you pass on food all the time, and try to eat low calorie foods 24/7? 3) If you eat something as small as a piece of bread, do you find yourself exercising to an extreme just work it off?

Being small could always be genetic. Theres other information out there that'll help you solve that better, but those are three good questions to start with.

Answer 2

Well first, anorexia is not guaged by your weight. It is an eating disorder. So taking your eating into account. You don't eat any where near a healthy amount of food which is a big problem. However, eating a small amount still isn't anorexia. It is a question of, do you eat a small amount because you aren't hungry, or do you consider it healthy to lose weight. If you are simply not hungry, there is still a problem there, but it may not be anorexia. Plus, I don't know about trusting Dr. Jon...

Answer 3

Only your doctor will be able to diagnose you if you have anorexia nervosa. A lot of people may refer to someone very thin as looking anorexic, this does not mean that they are anorexic.
Anorexia is a psychological problem.

“have an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted perception of their own body shape - even a normal, healthy body weight may make them feel tense and panicky, spend an excessive amount of time in front of a mirror and see themselves as very fat despite visual evidence to the contrary, wear baggy clothes to disguise their true weight, deny that there is a problem with their weight, become depressed, experience mood swings, become more serious, introverted or restless, feel guilty, lose confidence or self-esteem, or become less assertive and more dependent, lose interest in their normal activities, becoming focused on their diet, develop rituals attached to eating and hiding food, over-exercise, begin vomiting in secret and/or taking laxatives, or use appetite suppressants and/or diuretics. “

Check your body mass index to see if you are a healthy weight for your height. Eating a lot of fruit does not mean that you are anorexic that is just eating healthily, fruit is a very good to eat as a snack but remember to eat a healthy, well balanced diet.

If you have any concerns about your weight, go and see your GP/family doctor.

Answer 4

you are not anerexic but you need to eat more often because at your age, your waist should be close to a 36" :)

Answer 5

Do you restrict yourself from eating? THAT is what would make you Anorexic, not just being very skinny.

Answer 6

You are not anorexic, in my opinion you need to diet harder. Try not to drink over 4 glasses of water a day. This is a sure-fire way of losing your extra flab.

Answer 7

weight by itself doesn't really have anything to do with anorexia. if you starve yourself because you think you're fat even though you're skinny, that is anorexia.

Answer 8

well do you eat???? or do you force yourself to eat EXTREMELY little. if you do eat then it is probably just your genetic make-up.

Answer 9

ummmmm do you eat? seriously thats the question....
