i used to be anorexic
yeah im one of those skinny chics who think they're fat, andive always been that way. one time in eighth grade i was just sooo sure that i was fat, even though people told me i wasnt, i guess i thought they were just lying to make me feel better, but eventually i stopped eating so i could lose weight.
i didnt eat for a whole week i went from 135 pounds to 105 andi still thought i was fat! my parents were sooo freaked out that they almost hospitalized me but i gave up the anorexic diet because i thought it was doing no good cauze no matter how much weight i lost i still thought i was fat.
right now im eating at least 2 meals a day and ive gained a little weight back but i still think im fat and i was just wondering what this disease is called.... i know when u stop eating your anorexic and when u force yourself to throw up thats belimic, but all of us have the same problem we think we're fat so what is that disease called?

I don't have much to add.
I just want to say I agree with the person who told you to see a doctor about this.
Even though you gave up being anorexic, with the disorder you have, you have a high possibility of starting it back up again.
Anorexia and bulimia, I'm sure you know, are VERY dangerous eating disorders. They both destroy your body.
I just hope you seek professional help to avoid them.

The psychological disorder you're describing is body dysmorphia, where you have a distorted view of what's really there. I've been struggling with that my whole life, and I went through the same anorexic stage you did, except I have another disease that didn't actually let me lose the weight, which just made me more depressed, and...yeah. Anyway.
Body dysmorphia really sucks, but a vast majority of the female population has it.
Hope this answered your question.

You are correct in classifying those eating disorders. Most likely though, the whole idea behind you thinking you are fat even though you are not, is more of a mental/psychological disorder. There is something in your head that distorts the view of yourself. When you look in the mirror, you see a fat girl, when others look at you, they see a skinny girl. It doesn't mean you are crazy or anything because of how I worded it, you just simply have a distorted view of yourself. The best way to get to the root of the problem is to see your doctor and explain everything you just explained here, to them. They may recommend you go see a specialty physician.
