If so how can I fix it, I have lost all my appetite, and my mother asked have I lost weight - which I just discovered that I have (about a stone). I was only 8 stone to start with.
But I just do not feel hungry anymore.

I highly doubt you have ana because when you actually have anorexia it's not just some simple loss of appetite, it's a mental disorder that makes your life hell each day. I have ana and have had ana with me since the tender age of 12, I am now 17 and still have ana and even though I don't look like I do(my bmi is currently 20 which is "normal"), I realize the only reason I am not going back to my total restriction habits is because I just have a year left with my parents and then I can go back to my restricting without any worry of being put into ip(ip is inpatient in the ana world which is a residential eating disorder treatment center.) Basicly when you have ana and this is coming from a girl who actually has anorexia, not some twisted little teenie bopper who glamorizes the whole thing saying that she wants to lose weight and how she's so fat and whatever the hell else she might say. When you have ana you are in constant pain both mentally and physically with everything ranging from just the absolute hatred of your body and weighing yourself who knows how many times a day to actual physical problems like low electrolyte count which eventually leads to death, brittle bones which lead to osteoporosous and many other problems. Seriously if you had even in the slightest way thought that having anorexia might be cool or something it's not. I have wasted nearly all my teenage years to it from the 2 stints in rehab because of my low weight to just not being able to eat anything without feeling guilty. Last summer I was working out 5-7 hours per day and even during that school year I was doing, now I can only do 1-3 because of my parents constant supervision. Unfortunately though my parents know that when i'm 18 i'll just start doing it all over again, and that it really is hopeless to even try to do anything. My whole life is finished, don't let yours be.

What has caused the suddenweight loss? If you have been stressed or very busy then it is understandable. If you constantly look in the mirror and don't particularly like what you see then it could be an eating disorder. Comparing yourself to other people, checking if they are thinner than you, and avoiding certain foods for fear of weight gain are all signs too.
Eating very little becomes an addiction and you eventually lose your appetite. It can also cause you to become anaemic. Don't fall into the trap, it's so hard to get out.

Anorexia nervosa is a mental disorder where sufferers belive they are fat and go on extreme diets in an attempt to lose weight. If your weight loss is by accident, than you do not suffer from an eating disoder, but you do have "anorexia" (which just means "lack of appetite). See your doctor to see what caused the weight loss, as it is significant. It could be an undiagnosed illness. Only your doctor can tell you how to fix it.

When you look in the mirror and think you look fat when in fact you are only the size of a twig. Its a state of mind, just eat in moderation and healthy and you will be fine.

Well anerexia is usually when you force yourself not to eat, not when your not hungry. See a doctor. If it doesnt get better, drink a lot of water!

if you even have a question "am i anorexic?" then yes - you are.
It has little to do with food - its psychological disorder, tell your mom and ask her to take you to see doctor.
