I really need help. I'm 14, and I have trouble eating. Its not that I don't want to, its just that sometimes I can't motivate myself to, and if I try, I start to feel sick. I never eat until I'm ful anymore because I find it nearly impossible. Instead, whenever possible, I eat a little bit by bit to try to fill up my stomach.
I'm 5'3", maybe just a little taller, and my weight has stayed between 96-104 lbs. Right now, its at 100 lbs, and my BMI is 17.7. At one point, I was up to 104, and in less than a week, I dropped to 97. Even if I do gain the weight, I can't seem to retain it.
I've tried different motivation. My boyfriend lost someone to anorexia so he's really sensitive on the subject. He's started to figure out something's wrong, as I'm starting to look a little unhealthy and my best friend, the only one who knows, is threatening to tell him.
So, I need this question answered: am I already anorexic, in danger of developing anoreixia, or just fine?

You just have a small appetite, I do believe. You're weight is in the normal range, but your BMI suggests that you ARE underweight. Perhaps you are stressed out by something like tests or boys. You should see a doctor and tell him what you're experiencing. You may have some underlying medical cause for you symptoms.

Well if your too skiny them I'm WAY to skinny! I'm a guy 5' 7" and I weight 134 pounds and I got that weight thing that tells you your body pErcents and only have 3% body fat, my ribs stick out and I have really defined abbs though but people say I'm super skinny but I DON'T think you look anorexic, who cares, why would you want to put on weight? I work out all the time to avoid that!

You need to talk with your doctor. It is not normal for you to be this way. You should not feel sick when you eat. Get some help.

i suffer from the same problem. I know exactlyhow you feel. I don't want to starve myself, i just can't motivate myself to eat. i don't recommend waiting to decide if you are anorexic, you should talk to someone about your problem instead of waiting for your condition to get worse.
