Answer 1

Yes you are Anorexic and you better get help before you die. Not kidding. You are not getting any nutrition or anything. Your bones will become weak if you continue to eat like this and will break easily, you can go into heart failure from not having enough calories in your body for it to work properly, breathing can become strained, your hair can fall out from not having the right vitamins, etc

Answer 2

94 pounds is not a healthy weight for a 15 year old girl of your height. It is underweight, and given your eating habits, a serious health concern. A healthy weight for your age and height would be in the 100-145 range.

Anorexia nervosa is not determined by weight or size; people of any age, size, or shape can have this disease. The defining characteristic of anorexia is a person’s approach to eating and food. It is an eating disorder, not a weight disorder. Regardless of what label is put on it, I think if you consider your feelings about food, you will realize that you have negative attitudes toward food and eating.

The amount of food you are eating is clearly not enough to receive the nutrition you need. The old wisdom about eating three square meals a day—while there have been some refinements in the details—still holds true. What you are eating doesn’t even add up to one meal a day. The consequences of continuing to have a diet like this at best will leave you so unhealthy that your quality of life will suffer dramatically; at worst, it will kill you.

Please, for your own health, have your parents take you to see a doctor, so you can talk about how you feel about food and what you can do to make sure you can get healthy. There is no reason for you to go through life letting food have this much control over you. I don’t know what your reasons for deciding to have this kind of diet, but I’m sure there are reasons, and if you talk about them, you can figure out a healthier way to deal with them.

Best wishes.

Answer 3

Ok your diet is based too much on sugar and calorie and not healthy fats, carbs, and proteins. If you keep drinking a lot of sodas you will have bladder problems and kidney infections. Anorexia is more psychological in the sense that you look at your self and think you are fat even though you are not. you might have an appetite problem or a thyroid problem. If your stomach is small you might feel full more quickly than if you had a larger one. you might want to consult a nutritionist about your problem.

Answer 4

I would say by the sounds of it yes you are anorexic, and I think you already know that. The next question is what do you want to do next? do you want help? is this your way of reaching out? I am sure your mother and father are quite worried about you already and maybe it is time to talk to them and ask them for help the get you into counselling. We don't want to lose anymore young lives to such a overwhelming problem. There is a lot of support out there for you, a lot more than you realize, you just have to ask, from your teachers, to your coaches, to your pastor to your school counsellor and most importantly your family. Everyone that loves you will do everything they humanly can for you, you just need to let them and help yourself, and most importantly love yourself because you are a perfect young woman, someone that is worthy of this world, and you need to take your rightful place in it. Talk to your parents. Good Luck.

Answer 5

Hmmmm, yes I'm guessing you are anorexic if you eat LESS THEN 100 CALORIES EVERY DAY! How could you seriously ask if you are anorexic when your "big splurge" is a peppermint or something?! Eat....and you will see a whole new world. It's amazing...you don't faint, and you have energy, and you aren't tired! Go see a doctor, seriously....the average person eats more calories in one day than you do in a week...

Answer 6

Yes you are! Are you trying to lose weight? Why would you not eat? You are seriously underweight if you're 5'5 and only 94 lbs. You should see a doctor if you can't make yourself eat. Why are you're parents unaware/unconcerned about this?

Answer 7

It seems you realize you have a problem you need to seek professional help and today. Best of luck to you, and lifes to short not to help yourself. You can get past this, get better and live a long and happy life. Talk to your family and friends and have someone go with you if your afraid to go. There is lots of free support groups to help. You only have one chance at life and we all make mistakes, get misguided but we can fix them and enjoy life. It's short enough already and lets make the best of it. Take care and please talk to your doctor or find one.

Answer 8

Anorexia depends on your image of yourself. If you're making yourself not eat to be thin, then I would say yes. If you're just not hungry and thats why you dont eat then I would say no. You can be underweight and still be healthy. Based on what you've ate the past week, I would say... eat something!

Answer 9

You need to eat more or you're going to end up in a hospital.
I was anorexic in the third grade... long story. It's really not worth it at all. You are beautiful the way you are and you need your nuitrition.

Answer 10

I hope you are kidding, you say you are 15 you are old enough to know if you are eating healthy or not. You need help with your anorexia problem before it kills you.

Edit: Speculators BabyMama is an idiot, anorexia is when you don't eat. BULIMIA is when you throw up, 13 year olds shouldn't give advice.
