Am I Anorexic?

well ,i don't know about u...dats why i cant say if u r anorexic or not but i can tell what is anorexia....is when people think they r getting overweight even though they r extremely thin....
people who suffers from anorexia usually see a very big fat image of their self in mirror...it usually occurs to females aged 16 to 18.....i know common symptoms of anorexia which r dry skin that when pinched and released, stays pinched
dehydration
abdominal pain
constipation
lethargy
fatigue
intolerance to cold temperatures
emaciation
development of lanugo (fine, downy body hair)
yellowing of the skin

you need to talk this over with your parents and doctor

i dont know what 4 stone 10 means? your still so young. if you want to be healthy and feel good about yourself then eat right and work out. anorexia is when you dont eat. i was a stick at 13 as well. you are to young to be curvy. that will happen as you get older. just enjoy being young.

fyi - a stone is 14 pounds
4 stone 10 = 56lbs

ur 54 pounds?! HOLY CRAP. how tall are you?

i cant tell if ur anorexic. anorexic isnt underweight...its the fear of gaining weight..the fear is to a maximum and its also like...not eating purposefully

Are you sure that u r 13? Here's how you convert stones into pounds.

4 stone x 14 = 56 pound


Either you are really short or other reason, you defentitly need to go see doctor. Maybe you are not devolped yet but I never heard of a 13 year old who weigh 56 lb. My friend who's 14, weigh around 100 now, she weigh 75 pound at 13. Your weight is way tooooo low for a 13 year old or you made mistake in converting your weight from pound to stone. Go to doctor!
