*thx 4 ur advice. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Health? qtpie874 answered Tuesday December 20 2005, 5:49 pm: Well, if you're not anorexic then you should still get checked out because your weight is dangerously low- you might have a different problem. I don't know if you really aren't anorexic or if you just think you're not, but just remember that when you don't get enough nutrients, your body starts feeding off of your organs, even your heart and your brain- and that can lead to serious cardiovascular and psychological problems. So just make sure you are eating enough. Just try to talk about something else with your friends to distract them from this rumor. Hope everything works out!

rainbowcherrie answered Saturday February 12 2005, 4:03 am: Well, I'm 13/female, 4"9 and I weigh 96lbs and alot of people are saying I'm underweight and anorexic. You weigh a good 30lbs less than me and you're the same height and age so maybe you are underweight. I doubt you have anorexia, anorexia is when you THINK you are overweight and I don't think you do, am I right? I do think you getting dangerously underweight though, make sure you are getting plenty of the right foods and avoid skipping meals. Also, please go and talk to your doctor, just to make sure everything is alright. As for the people who think you are anorexic, tell them that anorexia is a physcological disorder and that you don't just get anorexia from being thin. Plus, start eating more in front of them.

ArmyMedic answered Friday February 11 2005, 8:49 pm: first of all, please get yourself checked out. try not to worry about what they think. they are young, stupid and ignorant. there is someone in this world for everyone and when you get my age, you'll see why they were so stupid and wonder why you ever even cared.

xOCarrie answered Friday February 11 2005, 7:54 pm: Well if you eat and you dilibiratly do not starve yourself you`re not annorexic - but your BMI (body max index) [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
is underweight - I know your not physco or annorexic but you should seek help, not because your annorexic!! like i said just to help you gain weight. Just take a trip to the doctor and see if he can prescribe you with someone pills or a good diet to increase your weight. and as far as those other kids go, tell them its none of there buisness and they need to fuck off.

sohojules26 answered Friday February 11 2005, 7:03 pm: There is a reason y people are saying this. That is really really skinny. You should seriously check with your doctor and see if something is worng. If not, tell people that your doctor said u were healthy. If you eat really healthy stuff, throw in cookies and junk like that a lot. They'll cut it out if you have a firm voice and look at them seriously. =) [ sohojules26's advice column | Ask sohojules26 A Question ]

Karen answered Friday February 11 2005, 6:45 pm: Well, since you've tried ignoring and stopping these rumors and telling people that you aren't anorexic, the only thing you can do is to eat in front of these people so they know that you do eat and aren't anorexic. My friend was in a similar situation as you and she tried telling everyone that she wasn't anorexic and that she had a fast metabolism and that didn't work. She then started to eat in front of people and then they stopped talking about her. These people are probably just jealous that you are a lot skinnier and weigh less than them. As long as you are healthy, you are fine and you should just let these rumors die out by themselves. Hope I helped :)
