How do you know that you have anorexia?

well I guess it all started two years ago . now I am almost 15 . when I was 12 I was very chubby, nothing like my parents and brothers who were really skinny . it didnt bother me at all and when I started doing sports I lost a lot of weight and finally had a ‘nice’ body . it was in the summer in the yr 2005 when I went to see my ‘boy friends’ family [[who I havent seen for like a year at that time]] and his mom was very surprised by the way I looked . later that night I heard her speaking to someone in the living room . I dont eavesdrop, it was an accident that I overheard while I was going past the room, and she was saying that she was concerned about me, that I have lost so much weight so quickly and she was scared if I didnt have anorexy. as a child who didnt have a clue what anorexy was, I totally forgot about it . but then about a year later I looked anorexy up on internet and found out all the symptoms and what it actually was . at that time I laughed to myself, thinking how stupid my bfs mom was , as I LOVED to eat. but then I dont know why, I started to eat less and less, everytime I looked into the mirror I shrugged . Now its been about a year and all I eat throughout the whole day is : an apple if anything at all for breakfast, nothing for lunch and very little for supper . Every day I get from school I straight away go and check what my weight is and now I weight less then I did when I was 11. at the age of 11 I weighet 55 kg and was 145cm tall, now I weight 49kg and I am 160cm tall. im not skinny but I know I am not fat. but I feel very fat and every time I look into a mirror I just see fat fat fat its like I am aware that im being stupid its just that I cant stop !! I mean every time I eat something [[even like a tiny peace of bread]] I feel guilty and I refuse to eat anything else .

well thats not all . recently my best friend stopped talking to me . she knows that I dont eat and she tried her best for the past months to make me . but few weeks ago we got into a fight about it and she said that I was selfish and since then she hasnt spoke to me .. I cried a lot because I know she’s right , it’s just I cant get rid of that feeling every time I eat , it just makes me depressed, weak and tired .

could this be the start of anorexy ? or is it just what happens to teenagers when they;re very critical about the way they look ? please I NEED AS MUCH ADVICE AS POSSIBLE thank you x

hun take apicture of yourself.. look.. and compare a picture of how you looked. you get dizzy and stuff because your body doenst have nutrients. or energy thats not healthy dont feel guilty, its hard iknow. dont look in mirors then.. look up the average weight of a girl your age, and make it a goal to reach it. you see fat fat fat.. others see skin and bones. Its not what you see.. its what others see.. its not a start of anorexia it is anorexia and you need to eat. feel beautiful.. You fell into a hole and you need to get out of it Dont eat fat foods.. eat healthy.. but eat. you need to. your body is rotting.. your stomach is eating itself, and your acid in your body normaly eats the fat but u have none and its gona start eating away at your muscles it has been thats why your week. guess what goes after your muscles.. your bones.. you wont move, and you will die by the age of 24 if not younger fiht the discust.. you need to. you cant let yourself die your killing yourself slowly what do u rather have.. a little chub, or a shriveld up stomach and no muscles bones or life. please message me

Hi,

Just first off, it’s “anorexia”, not “anorexy.”

Secondly well you’re definitely not eating enough. One sandwich or apple a day isn’t enough to sustain you to be a healthy person. If you’re really not hungry and that’s why you aren’t eating more, you should see your doctor! You can also try eating small meals more times a day and try to adjust to having higher food intake. You need a certain amount of calories to be healthy, otherwise your metabolism will stall and you’ll actually end up gaining weight.

Good luck.

Answer #4

this could well be anorexy i think you should probaly see a doctor and get professional advice. i kno how scared you must be as i also eat next to nothing and teachers and studenta at my school make snarky remarks about it when i walk past hem or sitting in the canteen with my mates while they’re eating. just remember ur mate wants to look out for you, and is worried about you.
