No. You are npot underweight. You are healthy. Your BMI is 21.6 = Normal Weight
BMI below 18.5 - Underweight
BMI from 18.5 - 24.9 Normal Weight
A person your height should way between 7.5 and 10.1 stones to be healthy.
Seriously tell them that you are healthy and they should leave you alone. I am underweight - 7st 4lbs. And 5'4 and i know how annoying it is when people have a go at me. Tell them it upsets you.
As long as you are not anorexic or bulimic then you are fine. You say that you are never hungry. This might be because your metabolism is slow. This is happening because you are not getting enough calories.
Simply put
When you dont get enough calories, your metabolism slows down, which causes you to actually be less hungry because your body holds onto all of the cals you do take in.
My advice would be to start by eating a bit more at first, just foods that you like or some healthy snacks like fruit. Then after a while, your metabolism will get faster and you will be feeling more hungry, more quickly.
Good Luck
You have issues with food, even if you do not feel hungry your body needs food for fuel. Please eat, regularly. These people all care about you, don't let them and yourself down. Good luck.
Are u on diet pills?? If ur not... U have a problem because it's not normal to never be hungry. I think ur anorexic but you just don't know it. I'd reccomend some mental help... don't worry about ur weight!! You have a best friend & a boyfriend who care about you. Isn't that enough or do u have to be a size 2 to be happy??
Just tell them to mind their own business. its not their right to be messin with u cause u dont eat much cuz u arnt hungry. Your bf especially shouldnt b messin with u if he really luvs u he wouldnt be messin with u
Don't tell them to mind their own business because they just care about you. Tell them that although you appreciate their caring, you just arent hungry but are trying to do something about it in your own time. Then go to the doctor to find out whats wrong x
violet is wrong anerexia is a mental disease causing u to see urself diffrent than other people see u so dont go runnin to the nut house she is wrong.how much do u weigh
That sounds like a similar situation to what I went through when I was 17. I lost my appetite and dropped a lot of weight really fast. There really was no explanation for it except my body was still growing. I went from a size 16 to a 10 in two months. I wasn't starving myself, but I was eating less. It really happened without me paying attention to it and the only people who noticed were my friends who kept telling me I was losing weight too fast.
If you're eating a reasonable amount of food and making healthy choices, this could just be your body adjusting. If you're not, I would suggest you visit your doctor. You mentioned you had lost your mother, whether it be recently or not, this could be your grieving process and talking with someone could help. I would also have your thyroid checked. Stressful situations can cause an overproduction or underproduction of chemicals in the thyroid which affect appetite and symptoms of depression.
