OK well i think i might be annorexic. I'm about 4'9 and only like 86 pounds. That never seems to be thing enough for me. I'm always trying to lose weight some how or another. Now i don't know what to do...i don't want to tell my mom b/c i'm not sure if i am or not and i don't want to worry her. I'm just scared that i'm getting myself into trouble with this stuff...does anyone have ne suggestions for me? I'm scared...i dont want to end up in the hospital b/c of this...thanks in advance!
VainTaraLynn answered Saturday August 27 2005, 9:00 pm: First off. By definition of anorexic is eating nothing, and exercising alot. Thats what my cousin did and she was classified as anorexic. Not to scare you but you really need to break this habbit and learn to be happy with who you are. 86 lbs is not alot, and its perfect for someone whos 4'9''. Your not fat or chubby no matter what you say and Im sure you beautiful just the way you are. If you believe in God, he doesnt make mistakes, he creates things to perfection. Therefor, you shouldnt want to be something you werent made to be. As for curing this, you can still exercise and such, just be sure to eat healthy foods, and even a little junk upon occassion. Wont kill you. If you dont want to tell your mother though or go to a hospital just eat more and dont exercise as much. If you over work yourself thats bad. My cousin was in baskettball and crosscountry and didnt eat anything and she was 5'7'' and down to 70 pounds even and almost died of a heart attack. Ive also been to that point where I didnt want to eat anything myself and it becomes really bad for your health and you become close to death.. so for your family and your sake, stop worrying about what you look like and worry about being healthy, and if people dont love you for that the its not your problem. Dont worry about pleasing others and what others think or may want, worry about yourself and love yourself for who you are. [ VainTaraLynn's advice column | Ask VainTaraLynn A Question ]
SouthernGirl323 answered Saturday August 27 2005, 7:16 pm: talk to your mom, and get her to take you to a dr. you need to get help asap...because this could ruin your life. if your not ready to go to anyone yet, just try eating small meals more frequently... like have a bowl of fruit, granola bars, just something...anorexia is really dangerous and one you are, its extremely hard to stop. get out while u can. :-)
if u have any more questions drop by my site. [ SouthernGirl323's advice column | Ask SouthernGirl323 A Question ]
aDrii_bAbiix7Ox answered Saturday August 27 2005, 10:52 am: why do you want to lose weight?? your probably grat the way you are. if you are starving yourself to try to get thinner(all the time),that might be the case, but dont get worried!
i think you should talk to your mom about this situation. ask her to bring you to the doctor and ask the doctor if its too skinny for you. your mother may get worried, but its better to see if you are anorexic or not instead of not telling anyone.
all though i think 86 is average if your 4'9. my brother is taller and the same weight and hes not anorexic.
soccer_crazii answered Saturday August 27 2005, 9:42 am: thats hard for me to answer cuz im like 4'10 or something and weigh 73, but if you asked all my friends i eat a ton! lol, i definitly dont starve myself. losing weight isnt bad, but if you starve yourself, that definitly is. you might get into a little trouble if you were lieing about eating, but how can you get in trouble for saving yourself? going to the hospital because of this wont be a bad thing. all their trying to do is help you, its not like a punishment or something.

esbeautiful1313 answered Saturday August 27 2005, 1:11 am: actually your BMI (body mass index) is 18.6.
anywhere between 18.5-24.9 is normal. if you were to loose maybe 1 mor epound you'd be underweight, so that would NOT be good! you need to start eating well balanced meals, but working out as well (although not obsessivley). if you really do think you have a problem, please please please talk to an adult you trust, you will be scared to do this, but loosing your life from an eating disorder would be much scarier. even if you are not sure if it is a disorder or not, you need to talk to your mom, dad, or some one you can trust.

rikatree2375 answered Friday August 26 2005, 11:51 pm: If you think you might be anorexic then you're probably always worrying about weight and how u look, right??? But you sound like you aren't doing it purposefully. It's great to want to stay healthy, but if you're depriving yourself of food, then you're getting into some dangerous stuff. Little things like being worried about weight lead to a need to be thinner and to eat less. You might even start to starve yourself. If you're worried now, start talking to like a really close friend about it. Try to eat consistently or go on a HEALTHY diet. But stop thinking weight-wise as much and more of healthy. Please be careful and you won't get hurt or be put in the hospital. Hope i helped and good luck!
confusedbabii answered Friday August 26 2005, 10:39 pm: if you're anorexic, that means you dont eat food because you feel the need to be thinner and thinner. if this is you, its serious and you need to get help. you will destroy your body and your social life and people will think really bad things of you if you are anorexic. if you eat and stuff and you're still only 86 pounds, you should go to the doctor and ask why your growth is under everyone elses. but dont take this too far. weight has nothing to do with looks. good luck, hope i helped, & if ya need anythin else, drop one in my inbox!!
TrustMe answered Friday August 26 2005, 10:32 pm: you might actually be annorexic. Don't be scared to talk to your mom about this...Ask her to make a doctors appointment for you. You see, in the end she'll realize that it took you a lot of courage to come to her and tell her your concerns. Trust me, she should be proud of you.
Good luck and keep me posted! [ TrustMe's advice column | Ask TrustMe A Question ]
Sexybabii9095 answered Friday August 26 2005, 10:05 pm: well its really yourself who can answer this. you dont sound overweight to me, but im 5'1. it depends on your body, chest, ass, that kind of thing because they contribute to it. alot of girls think thier fat because of the rolls on thier stomach... but honestly just dont throw up and eat what youd like.. a healty diet is one thing,, not eating is another. for your height you sound about perfect to me.. [ Sexybabii9095's advice column | Ask Sexybabii9095 A Question ]
You definitely do not sound fat to me! That is very thin. I am 5'5 and I weigh 108 and I think I am fat. Nobody else thinks I am tho. I try not to eat all the time, but I never seem to be able to lose any weight. People tell me it is b/c I don't have any to lose. So if you try and try but still can't lost any weight, that is probably the reason that you can't!! [ Curemysadness's advice column | Ask Curemysadness A Question ]
