I think average weight for teen girls your age should be around 100 lbs!. Not really sure what "stone" would equal to in pounds!.!.!.but it doesn't sound like that much!. If you're 13 yrs old, you need to be eating more because you are not done growing, by the time I was 13 I weighed about 110 lbs!.!.!.but I had muscle weight to take into account to!.!.!.plus I've been "top" heavy too!.
You might have a higher metabolism that would account to why you don't gain, but people with higher metabolism tend to eat more often!.!.!.4-5 small meals a day!.

I'm sorry what you see in the mirror is not the reality, if your bones stick out and you need that many pairs of socks to fit your boots, trust that you do NOT need to lose ANY weight I promise!.
You may be on the path to anorexia, but I'm glad you can see that something's not quite right with how you're thinking currently!. please continue to eat and do sports! Don't try to lose weight, you're not fat :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have traits of anorexia and if you continue down this path, then yeah, you are anorexic!. I understand where you coming from with the eating only half of the food cause you get full easily!. I am just like that, I didn't like eating, most foods make me nauseous, and I am very picky with food!. I am not anorexic but I have traits of it but what not make us anorexic is that we're not starving ourselves with intense exercising!. But if you are afraid that you might be anorexic, please consult someone before it becomes worse because once your in it, it's hard getting out of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Mmm!. If you always don't like what you see in the mirror I would say yes!. The fact that your worried about whether you are anorexic or not is good though!. I would say that you should work on how you see yourself by pointing out the things you like about your body!. Make a list and every day add one thing to the list!. A lot of people think anorexia is all about food and that it can be cured by just telling someone to eat more, but that is not the case!. Its about one person's self respect!. Also don't count calories and don't worry about what you eat!. Find foods that you really enjoy eating- you probably can afford to eat something you like thats a little unhealthy!. And at thirteen you are still growing, and if you are playing sports you need to make sure you are eating enough protein!. email me if i can help !.Www@Answer-Health@Com
