I'm 18/f and I weigh 110lbs and I'm 5'4".
So I know that that's not underweight or dangerous.
The thing is that I lost a lot of weight when I was around 10 and used to be chubby. Since when my relationship with food is horrible. I've been losing and gaining weight every since. I never weigh more than around 113lbs so I don't gain very much. But I think about food the whole day. I think about losing weight all the time. Yet I'm unable to reach my goal. I always fail. I want to weigh around 88lbs and I know that's unhealthy but I just don't think I can ever be happy if I don't lose weight and reach that goal. I always go on pro ana diets and fail. I'm always jealous of anorexic people and I know it's horrible :( And this is just killing me. I hate myself for failing and I hate living because all I can think of is food. My mom doesn't care much because I'm not too skinny.
Do I have an eating disorder? My mom doesn't want me to seek help cause she thinks I don't need it so I'm not. I've asked her so many times if I can talk to someone but she just doesn't care so I just feel silly for actually thinking I have a problem. But I just don't know what to do anymore. Am I really okay and overreacting or do I have a problem? (link)

In my personal opinion, I don't believe you have an eating disorder right this second, but may be on the verge of one. The thoughts of food and constantly losing weight is the first step in developing an eating disorder. I think you should talk to your mom again about talking with a counselor or therapist so that it doesn't end up going any further. Eating disorders are so deadly and I know that I don't know you, but I care about your well being and your health. I really suggest you talk to someone about this because it can really help. I am actually in counseling right now due to some other things, but I can tell you that it has really helped and i'm much better than I was. So please seek some therapy before you actually start starving yourself.
