I really don't want to be anorexic. I'm about 5'3 and 85 pounds. Maybe a little shorter but around 5'2 to 5'4. Anyways, I cant keep my weight. One month I may gain 2 pounds the next week I may lose 5. I eat quite a lot. I exercise a lot. Why is this so? Any tips?

If you are not trying to lose weight, then you are not anorexic. You might be thin, but this is your build. You didn't say your age. Just eat healthy. That is the best way to go.

I was the same height/weight as you are when I was in fifth and sixth grade. I had a really high metabolism, and all I ate was junk food and soda. I didn't get the vitamins and protein I needed.Try locating a free website with nutrition suggestions. Maybe you just need to eat more protein and whole grains. I'm also trying to gain weight, and eating larger amounts of healthy food seems to be working.
I'm guessing your problem is a high metabolism, since you said you excersize a lot.
If you were anorexic, you'd be keeping yourself from eating. As long as you're consuming three meals a day and not throwing up afterwards or taking laxatives, I don't think anyone can say you have an eating disorder.
