Am I developing anorexia?
I'm a 13 year old girl and I think that I may have an eating disorder of some type but I'm not sure. I've been eating less, eating healthier, and exercising one a week to lost weight l because I'm only 5 foot but I weigh around 140 pounds. I figured that I should lose it now because everyone in my family is obese, it's in the genes, so I'm trying to avoid that. My eating schedule is usually like this: I'll have a yogurt or some fruit for breakfast, skip lunch or have carrot sticks or something small and then have pretzels for dinner. And I feel like this is too much. Sometimes I'll binge too and then punish my self with fasting/liquid diet for a day or two.

What you describe is absolutely an eating disorder. No doubt about it. Seek help immediately. You don't want to be obese like your family, but what you're doing and thinking is very, very dangerous and just as unhealthy as being overweight (maybe more!). There is a balance in the middle that a professional can help guide you to. Do not let this go. You really do need help before your perception becomes distorted. Good luck.

None of us on here are doctors-so its not like we can diagnose you or anything.
We're just here to give advice.
You know most people with anorexia don't know they've got it until its painfully late. You from the off set suspect you have it.
I doubt that you have tbh-because you can acknowledge that something is not right with you. Anorexics can not do this.
My advice would be to speak to a doctor/your parents. I think it may be more of a biological thing if you're eating less.
The way to type is a sign you are of a sound mind. Speak to a doctor.
