1. anorexia isn't something you get. it's something you decide to do. so if you think you have it, stop being a self-obsessed whiny teenager and stuff some doughnuts down your throat.
2. Obviously, describing symptoms of anorexia will make people answer yes. What are you trying to accomplish here?
3. there are many different severities of anorexia nervosa. it begins with the idea. "if i dont eat as much, i wont be as fat." basically, if you think this way, you are already giving into anorexia nervosa. if you are counting calories or eating little or no food, then you have anorexia nervosa, but it seems like yours isn't as severe as some people. I ask that you get help. I've watched so many people go through this. people die of anorexia nervosa so often, and I pray that you get help for this. and to whoever the first answerer was: placing blame is one of the worst things to do in this situation. things such as "if you'd just stop, than things will be fine!" is terrible, because it isn't the person's fault. the idea sinks into your brain and you CANNOT get it out by yourself. you need professional help.
4. Aww Hunny, thats no way to live ! when you eat under no sercomstances does that mean you are fat ! If anyone says you are fat DO NOT listen to them.. they are losers... they should look at you for whats inside not out.. and if they dont like it then screw em' ! And you shouldn't be so self consious... i mean sure take care of yourself jus so yu can make yourself feel good but like i said... you shouldn't care what people think of you... they should like you for who you are. So maybe get a friend who will help you out, so you can get yourself back on track. Best of Luck ! ♥ XoX
5. Great post! I totally understand how you feel. I'm also trying to lose weight and I found this great product which is working for me (it's all 100% natural - a colon cleanse that was really gentle on my body. I feel so good and I lost 15 pounds). You can check the website at http://health-slim.info , I had a free trial and paid less than $5.00 shipping and handling. Best of luck!
6. why don't you listen to what peoples say, if they say you are skinny it mean that you are skinny.. and being skinny is not nice to look at. you are indeed starving yourself up to the breaking point... now if you are scared of being fat ,one these days , just be a vegetarian, but at least EAT every day. Please stop this non sense and start eating properly.. get some meat on them bones.. the answer is YES you are anorexic , so fix it up before it get out of hand...
