xo_dream answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 1:15 am: That alone doesn't make you anorexic. If you're obsessing + have lost a ton of weight lately, etc, then you could have // be developing an eating disorder, but .. yeah. Just stop worrying about your weight + be happy with your body.

If you feel like you are having a problem, you should consult your parents and if needed a doctor. I'm sure your gorgous and you don't need to lose any weight anyways:)
advicequeen answered Friday August 20 2004, 12:56 am: Just because you are underweight and you want to loose weight doesn't mean you are anorexic. Sometimes, it is healthy to loose weight in *certain places* instead of all around. When you want to loose weight everywhere and you are starving yourself, then that is anorexia. You can loose a few pounds off certain places, but don't get too addicted to the scale after you loose the pounds because once you get obsessed and start starving yourself - then you are anorexic. Also for the information, bulemia is another type of problem that you could encounter while loosing weight that you don't want to. It is when you throw up your food to loose pounds fast. Not only is that EXTREMELY unhealthy, it also causes heart problems later on in life. Doing a few exercises and a routine everyday is healthy but don't obsess. Also, before you start ANY diet - ask a doctor. Some diets like the Atkins diet aren't healthy. Any diet which eliminates one certain type of food is unhealthy. Good luck and if you need ANY more help at all - you can send it to my inbox. -Hope I helped- [ advicequeen's advice column | Ask advicequeen A Question ]
