Answers:
the first three answers are very useless and nothing but bull

really i cannot tell you if your health is in risk, only your doctor can

i cannot really determine your BMI, because i keep getting a big number (something you shouldn't get if you are anorexic)

a rule of thumb is if you lose 25% of your ideal weight, then you are anorexic
the typical symptoms of anorexia nervosa are:
* Extreme weight loss
* Body mass index less than 17!.5 in adults, or 85% of expected weight in children
* Stunted growth
* Endocrine disorder, leading to cessation of periods in girls (amenorrhoea)
* Decreased libido; impotence in males
* Starvation symptoms, such as reduced metabolism, slow heart rate (bradycardia), hypotension, hypothermia and anemia
* Abnormalities of mineral and electrolyte levels in the body
* Thinning of the hair
* Growth of lanugo hair over the body
* Constantly feeling cold
* Zinc deficiency
* Reduction in white blood cell count
* Reduced immune system function
* Pallid complexion and sunken eyes
* Creaking joints and bones
* Collection of fluid in ankles during the day and around eyes during the night
* Tooth decay
* Constipation
* Dry skin
* Dry or chapped lips
* Poor circulation, resulting in common attacks of 'pins and needles' and purple extremities
* In cases of extreme weight loss, there can be nerve deterioration, leading to difficulty in moving the feet
* Headaches
* Brittle fingernails
* Bruising easily

Fragile appearance; frail body image

Psychological

* Distorted body image
* Poor insight
* Self-evaluation largely, or even exclusively, in terms of their shape and weight
* Pre-occupation or obsessive thoughts about food and weight
* Perfectionism
* Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
* Belief that control over food/body is synonymous with being in control of one's life
* Refusal to accept that one's weight is dangerously low even when it could be deadly
* Refusal to accept that one's weight is normal, or healthy

Emotional

* Low self-esteem and self-efficacy
* Intense fear about becoming overweight
* Clinical depression or chronically low mood
* Mood swings

Interpersonal and social

* Withdrawal from previous friendships and other peer-relationships
* Deterioration in relationships with the family
* Denial of basic needs, such as food and sleep

Behavioral

* Excessive exercise, food restriction
* Secretive about eating or exercise behavior
* Fainting
* Self-harm, substance abuse or suicide attempts
* Very sensitive to references about body weight
* Aggressive when forced to eat "forbidden" foods

really, only your physician or a certified psychologist/psychiatrist can correctly diagnose you

though, in my opinion, if you weight 95 kg and are 1!.7 m you should not be considered anorexic (rather overweight- i think)

but it may be a misinterpretation of the data and miscalculation on my part

nevertheless, talk one of the aforementioned doctors; they'll be able to help you
