How do I know if I am anorexic? Please help please?


Question:
So, I am 13 years old and I am 5"3. I weigh 87 pounds..?? So Am I. I feel like a fatty. I have liek stomach fat

Answers:
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Are you exercising constantly?
2. Do you weigh yourself every day?
3. Are you refusing to eat?
4. Do you see yourself as fat when you look in the mirror?

If you answer yes to all 4 questions, then you might be anorexic and need to get the help of a therapist. Anorexia nervosa is a nasty condition. If you do get it, you will have it for the rest of your life. You can get it under control but it will always be with you and can creep up at any time. You will have to learn how to get and keep it under control at all times. Food is not your enemy.

Other Answers:
you are not fat by any means. Check out your BMI (body mass index) I am 16, 5"4, and I weigh 130. I don't think that I'm fat and my doctor has told me that I am just fine!

You are very slender. You'll gain weight as your body changes from adolecense to a womans body. Do not confuse that with fat. If you have a stomach do some sit ups or other type exersize. If you really feel like a fatty you either are or will be anorexic. You are young enough to regain control of your behavior. If you can't on your own seek help. Good luck! Remember vibrance is way more attractive then the consentration camp look.

I'm 17, and 4"10' and I weigh 95 pounds. And I consider myself pretty skinny (I run all the time). So I'm not going to say your definatley anorexic, but if you are holding yourself back from food, you definately don't need to. There is no way you have stomach fat, even though, I know it can seem like you do, you don't. Also, BMIs and height/weight charts are almost never accurate for teens. Since this is our time to grow, most people need to be above thoose guidelines to be healthy. I'm sure you know how serious it can get with anorexia, so if you ever feel like you can't eat beacuse you're fat, let some one know or go to doctor.
