Answer 1

you dont have to be skin and bones to be anorexic - you can die from this disorder being obese...
its up to you - live healthy lifestyle (eat healthy and exercise) or have an ED and possibly die from it.

Answer 2

You're thin, but you don't look unhealthy or anything. I'd just ignore this person, people like to throw the term anorexic around these days when they really shouldn't, it kind of trivializes what is a serious illness.

Answer 3

I'm small myself and some people often say the same things about me. If your not, then don't let it bother you. You can't help your genetics. Some people have problems losing weight, others have problems gaining it. It used to bother me too, but then I just thought that if I let it bother me, then maybe those people will misinterpret my upset-ness and think it's because I am really anorexic. So I just try and blow it off, make a joke when some one says something. All my true friends know I eat, and yours should too. So don't let people get to you.

Answer 4

Screw everyone who is dissing you! GOD I *HATE* people like that!!!! Everybody is born different. Seriously to everyone ignorant that people can actually BE thin and not anorexic do research on Ectomorph, Endomorph and Mesomorph body sizes! Don't let ANYONE treat you like you're lower than them. No one is better than ANYONE else!!! Gah Sorry I know I'm ranting but I saw some chick say that thin people freak her out -_- and of course I'm thin and have had to deal with that kind of BULLSH!T my whole life!

Answer 5

You do look really thin. But if you really aren't dieting, and you're healthy - i.e. you eat a regular balanced diet, get plenty of vitamins, don't do drugs... you feel healthy, you don't have problems with blood sugar, diabetes, anemia, feeling weak, etc, then you're just you and people should accept that. We're not all the same size.

Answer 6

You are really tiny, but that is just your frame. some people are just naturally small. If you are eating enough througout the day and feel healthy you are just fine. If you want to gain some weight, start eating protein and build some muscle. but you look nice so don't worry about it too much, your friends might be jealous that are are naturally thin.

Answer 7

If you dont diet, then there is no way you look anorexic. He or she is just jealous that you are very slim, and are trying to get you feeling bad about the way you look.

Anorexia is not the way you look, its a mental illness, which effects are the way you look. So if your not dieting, there is no possible way for you to be anorexic.

Answer 8

you look INSANELY thin, but as long as you know you're not anorexic, you eat properly(aka, not like a rabbit and not cheeseburgers every day, but balanced, plenty of veggies and protein), etc., you're fine. but there's not a lot you can do to convince this person you're not anorexic unless you make them live with you for a month and see how you eat.

Answer 9

Yes you are skinny but being anorexic only means that you don't eat enough so as long as you're eating healthy your fine and geeze i wish i was as skinny as you.

Answer 10

You look fine. Some people just have a super high metabolism.
Only you know the truth on your health. If you have problem get help if not don't sweat it. People get jealous a lot.
