Is being 90lbs at the age of 14 anorexic?!


Question: I look skinny but I feel healthy!


Answers: I look skinny but I feel healthy!

Anorexia is not about what you weigh, it's a psychological disorder where the person is intensely afraid of becoming 'fat' and purposefully starves themselves to lose weight. They also have a distorted body image so that no matter how much weight they lose, they never feel they are 'thin' enough.

Unless your low weight is accompanied by psychological symptoms of anorexia, then you are obviously not anorexic.

well i have a friend that's almost 16 and about 110 ..and he look like a skeletion but it`s not his fault...your prbly the same..you`ll prbly gain some weight in a few years but for now hang in there

try eating more healthy food more often so you can atleast get to 100-105 pounds so you can not only feel and be healthy but weigh a little more

There is more to being anorexic then be skinny. If you are eating healthy.. then you are fine. As in you are eating more then 1400 calories a day. 90 pounds sounds really skinny, but I don't know how tall you are.. so..

well yeah i'm a girl but i'm 15 and weigh 92
but as the person above m e wrote, just b/c ur skinny doesn't make u anorexic
anorexic is when u purposely make urself skinny
like i just am skinny, i don't force myself to be

did this help?

No. Not unless you aren't eating.

But if you mean does that make you malnurished, like underweight, then it just depends on your height b/c if you're tall then yes, if your kind of medium-ish then you should be fine, and if you're kind of short then you might check with your doctor.

It really depends on your height. I dont think that you are anorexic. Do you eat? Are you obsessed with food? This really depends on a lot of things taht are not mentioned in your question.

That depends on your height, but unless you're 4'10'' I'd say you're very thin.

Anorexia means you starve yourself... if you don't starve yourself, you can't be anorexic no matter how skinny you are.

Eat more carbs and protein.

it's easy. if you feel healthy and you eat right, then you're healthy.

You are anorexic. But there is a difference

- Anorexic: Being very skinny.
- Anorexia: Mental condition in which a person is obsessed with their weight

So, I would try to eat more meat and protein to gain a bit of weight, but make sure you're not stuffing yourself with junk.
