Answers:
Being anorexic - even a recovering anorexic - your view of your body is not realistic!. You are still extremely thin!. You do have breasts though, which helps give you a more feminine figure, but I'd say you could still gain a little weight - muscle weight anyway!. Quit worrying about it and just eat normally!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you could do with putting on some more weight, but you should be proud of yourself for recovering!. If you've only just begun recovering then don't worry, no-one can expect you to get to an ideal weight stright away!. And its understandable that you mum would think like that if you used to be 11 stone, but just let her know that it will take time!. I'm sure you look alot healthier with that extra 4lbs, but several more and you'll be perfect, good luck =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your BMI is 18!.6!.!.!.!. so you're hardly anorexic!.

A BMI under 18!.5 is underweight, and under 16 is anorexic!. Don't worry, you're fine!.

Why don't you speak to a physician, or a dietitian, and get their professional opinion!. They'll only agree with the above, as I AM A DIETITIAN!Www@Answer-Health@Com

um actually you look fine i think!.!.!.the most important thing is that you are healthy!.!.!.!.if you are eating a balanced diet with plenty of protein and maybe a multivitamin!.!.!.!.!.i think there are really thin people that are healthy!.!.!.!.being bigger does not always mean healthier!.!.!.so make sure you point that out!.!.!.!.as long as you "are" eating and maintaining a "healthy" lifestyle then that should be your backup!.!.!.!.!.good luck!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i am glad you are recovering!.!.!. and your mom is right you are a little too thin, yo have no booty or breasts!.!.!. gaining a little more weight will make you look more like a women!. i do not know how old are you but you look like an 11 or 12 yr oldWww@Answer-Health@Com

You look good - thin, but not too thin!. Speaking as a guy, I know that you would be too thin for some guys tastes, but I'd say you look mighty fine!.!.!. maybe just some exercise for a bit of toning (e!.g!. fill your arms and legs out a little)Www@Answer-Health@Com

According to your height you should weight between 126 to 130 for a small body frame!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well you are still underweight !.!.!. you should weigh about 130-140 for your height and i'm guessing you still have the anorexic mindset!. i do not think you look horrible but i can understand why your mom still thinks your too thinWww@Answer-Health@Com

your mom is just worried about you!. she wants you to be healthy!. im so proud of you for admitting that you have a problem and trying to get healthy!. you look good btwWww@Answer-Health@Com

You need to gain more weight!. Being too underweight is just as bad as being over weight!. Increase your diet by !.5(if you eat 2000 then eat 2500 kilocalories)Www@Answer-Health@Com
