Fairy_Lu agony auntif you wanna loose wait you are breaking the one big rule you arnt eating enough! Yeah i know doesnt make sense right?

Well when you skip meals your body automatically goes into starvation mode meaning anything you do eat your body automatically stores it as fat because it does not know when it will get food again. So to loose weight you eat 3 meals a day cut out all the junk and excercise bout an hour a day, keeps you healthy and is a safe way to loose weight without damaging yourself

Phsyciatrist-to-be agony auntYou'll know if you have anorexia: it's a concious thing. It's basically where you become absolutely terrified of gaining weight AT ALL. If you find youself excercising loads, eating hardly anything, and spending most of your time on the scales, THAT's when you should start to worry.

Skeez agony auntYou dont sound that underweight. Perhaps you have just got a natural small frame. Im 5'4 and weigh 120 lbs. So to me, you sound fine.

If of course you are making yourself sick and excersising too much then yes you may have some symptons of anorexia.

Fairy_Lu agony auntAnorexia is an eating disorder, where you basically starve yourself and excercise because you believe yourself to be fat.

If you are eating fine and not losing weight stupidly then i dont think you are anorexic.

You are a little bit underweight but anorexic is when you dont eat or starve yourself so as long as you are eatting you are fine.
