Hi there, firstly, if you wanna know what the main difference between main eating disorders here's a list for you:
1) Anorexia Nervosa- Starving yourself, refraining from eating and exercising compulsively in order to lose weight
2) Bulimia- Making yourself throw up after eating as well as using laxatives (pills etc. that make you induce vomiting/pooing) to make their body lose food
3) Binge Eating- The opposite of the other two, eating non-stop for comfort reasons and hiding and keeping food then feeling guilty

It sounds like you are very self conscious about how others think about you-there is nothing too wrong with that but you need to know life isn't all about looking gorgeous, getting guys and being the Queen Bee.
Have you ever had a hurtful comment from anyone about your weight?
If so, perhaps you need to speak up and stand up for yourself.

If everyone sees you so skinny, and you don't there is a problem. Over time everyone had different thoughts about the ideal body shape, one year it was curvy and tall like Cindy Crawford, the it was slender like Kate Moss and it changes every year.
If you no longer feel healthy and happy and are constantly comparing yourself with others-just feel happy the way you are, engage in a sport or hobby that you really enjoy. Don't carry on with this sick habit, many people who have eating disorders DIE or ARE HOSPITAL-RIDDEN FOR A LONG TIME!!!
Don't waste your time on near death or hospital. You are beautiful the way you are and you need to know that others aren't as lucky being so close to poeple that LOVE you and care about you.

You aren't annoying me, but I'm so glad you reached out for help.
Chin Up and live life like you've always wanted it to be.

Good luck on your journey and god bless for the future! xxx

I have a good friend who has struggled and after a long battle, no longer starves herself to look skinny.



There are different degrees of Anorexia, and it looks like you have it. It isn't bad, but can progressively get worse. Honestly, not eating/throwing up is not the way to lose weight. It makes you look sallow and sick. Exercising is the key. working out gives you toned muscled and natural glow. It's healthier and also makes you look better. When trying to lose weight use the scale, not the mirror (misleading, and makes you judge yourself.)



It's not annoying at all! Many people see themselves as bigger than they are. Its probably because people see you as a whole and you see a pinch of fat here or a tiny roll there and from that you assume you're fat. Just work out, drink water and eat healthy foods with fiber. You want to eat healthy and not starve yourself because you'll be skinny but not very pretty. I know you said you aren't though. Maybe take pictures. And in a week another and so on.



No, an anorexic starves themselves. If you're not starving yourself you're obviously not anorexic. A bulimic throws up. If you're not throwing up then that's not it either. What you should consider is body dysmorphic disorder. That's when you don't see yourself the way you are.



You may not notice it because it is you and you are seeing the negative things(things that you don't like) about your self, and not the positive. Try focusing more on positive things about your self.



Doesn't sound like you do, but you seem to be in an easy place where you can slip into anorexia. It's a terrible, deadly disease. Try to avoid looking at your body in the mirror every day.



nah you should do what ya wanna
