Am I anorexic? Why do I think I'm fat when...?!
Question: Am I anorexic!? Why do I think I'm fat when!.!.!.!?
!.!.!.I'm underweight!? Due to stress and anxiety I've lost a lot of weight, and I limit the types of food I eat because of some kind of fear of contamination I have!.!.!. I mostly live on pasta!. I actually think I may be suffering from OCD!.!.!. However, my psychologist says I've lost too much weight!. I'm 16, 5ft 2'' and weigh 41kg's, which is apparently under the weight you have to be to be anorexic!. I've always been sort of slim, but I think the 5 or 6kg's I've lost in the last year has put me into the 'danger zone'!. Doctors and family keep probing me for evidence that I'm trying to lose weight!. It started out as accidental weight loss, but it's becoming a little addictive now!. I've started limiting food portions!. I'm not trying to lost weight, but somehow I feel proud when I do, and guilty when I put on weight!. My 12 year old brother (who I'm SURE is shorter and skinnier than me) weighs 5 or 6kg's more than me, and my 14 year old brother (who is very skinny) also weighs more than me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's always possible, a lot of people with Anorexia suffer from a body perception disorder of sorts, basically it is where you see yourself as fat when you are far from it, which is what you are saying!. Have you talked to your psych about the eating thing!? It would be really beneficial, they can help you get this under control before it starts to get too addictive!. Trust me, eating disorders are not fun and can get highly highly addictive and incredible hard to stop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Lady you are growing up, you need vitamins and calories for that!. Don't think much about stress and enjoy your life and feel good as you are!. It should also accompany with some fruits and rice dishes!. stress and anxiety can also be reduced by games and exercises with your friends!. Secondly boys have more weight even if they appear skinny at growing age!. you need to drink lot of water and juices which help stress conditions and try maintaining 2000 calories daily and try maintaining your weight by exercises!. I bet you'll like it and if you do it for one year!. you'll forget about what you said about yourself now!. trust me my sister is 18 and she thought same as you but now when we talk to her about it she just smiles!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
