You're not anorexic. Anorexic people purposely starve themselves because they think they need to be thinner. It's healthy to eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full. If you're really worried, go to a doctor, but I don't think there's anything wrong.

since you work, you must get a paycheck sometimes! so maybe you could donate a little of that money to your food cause. you should start small and work your way up bit by bit to larger amounts of food. remember to try and keep it healthy-ish is you can =( i hate health food its crap ..
good luck!!

no, i think you are trying to do thr best for your mom, like saving enuff food for her. Try taking your money and putting it towards food.

It actually is healthier to only eat small portions of food at a time.
I wouldn't worry too much, your body is just used to not eating very much, you might be a little underweight, but you should just continue to eat small portions every day, at least three times a day. But I've heard that a rule of eating healthy is to eat 8 small portions a day. Like, small portions as in something about the size of your fist. That might sound like a lot, but if it's healthy meals and you don't just sit around all day then it's a good way to maintain a healthy
weight.

You're not broken =) Have you always been this way? Because it could just be your metabolism and the way you are, all my friends think I have a weight problem cause I can barely eat one piece of pizza while they eat 10 pieces.
You're not anorexic, at least it doesn't sound like it. From not eating a lot your body isn't used to it, so it can only take in so much, and the less you eat, the smaller portions your body can take in at a time, I'd say, try eating more, whenever you get the chance, but don't make yourself sick over it.
I don't think your underweight =) Maybe a little if at all, but otherwise I think you're a pretty good weight

maybe you should go see a doc about that

Your metabolism is just slowed down by the fact that you're notb eating as much. You're not anorexic at all at 5'2 110. Your dad's kinda being an asshole,so talk to him about what you think may be a problem. Even if you're not anorexic and you're not,lie to him and say you are. He'll quit being a prick and start buying more food for you. Kind of underhanded,but he's not being a real nice guy either.
