this does not make you anorexic but if you think you are ugly and fatty do not skip meals just eat different food like fruit and veg and they will help you loss weight

Answer #2

Anorexia isn’t being skinny. Anorexia is a psychological problem that leads to so little food intake that it threatens your health.

Wanting to be skinny, and excercising and dieting to achieve it, does not by itself mean you are anorexic. When you are hurting yourself, then you are anorexic.

Unfortunately, I can’t say if you’re anorexic because I don’t know how much weight you have lost, and what your current height and weight is.

In any case, anorexia is a fairly rare disorder. Many times people use it as an insult to skinny people out of jealousy. I’m not sure if that’s the case for you.

If you skip meals because you’re not hungry, you’re not anorexic. If you’re hungry, you should eat at least a little at each meal, even when dieting, since not eating can cause your body to think you are starving and store more fat.

Since you feel that you’re ugly and fat, I would suggest that you work on improving your self image before you attemp dramatic weight loss. A more healthy outlook is to believe that you are already attractive but that you want to be as healthy as you can be, so you focus on physical fitness, not weight loss.

Sometimes a skinny athletic person will weigh MORE than an average or slighty overweight person simply because their muscles weigh more than fat does. That’s why it’s best to not pay any attention at all to hom much you weigh, it doesn’t really mean anything. It’s best to eat when you’re hungry, and stay physically fit. You’ll always be healthy and attractive if you do that.
