Am I anorexic?
A few months ago I started feeling like I was becoming anorexic...I would eat as little as I could I would skip breakfast everyday, and lunch and dinner as much as I could. I ate as little at lunch as I could because I was at school and no one could force me to eat...I would eat around 600-950 calories a day and try and exercise as much as I could off...around then I lost weight I weighted 83 and at one point it dropped to 82...lately since it's summer I've been having to eat more since my parents r watching me I have also started snacking more...now I'm eating around 850 calories a day and still exercising just not as much...I now weight 84.6ish and it flucates but never above 85...I've stopped caring as much I still record everything I eat but Ive been a bit less strict...Also it would prob be best to include I'm 16 and on the short side.....so I was wondering would I be considered anoxeric now? Or then? Thanks! And sorry that was so long!

All signs point to anorexia. Especially the recording everything you eat. You need to seek help before this gets out of control (if its not already). Anorexia can lead to a shut down of major organs, including liver, kidney and heart. In the future it can lead to infertility and weakened immune system, leaving you open to devastating diseases. In extreme cases the lack of nourishment can promote brain damage. This is not to be trifled with. Seek out help immediately. Start with your school counselor, and then your doctor. Don't be afraid to be honest, these are people who are sworn to protect your privacy. The help you get will not be help to gain weight. It will be help to figure out why you feel the need to do this to yourself and how you can achieve a positive self-image outside of weight issues. I urge you to do this soon, while you are still young and can still save your body from the awful ravages of this disease. You are reaching out for help here, and that is a great sign of strength. Dig deep and find the strength to reach a little further to people who can help get you back on the right track. Good luck!
