Am I anorexic or is this okay?!


Question: Am I anorexic or is this okay?
I am a fifteen and a half year old girl, and 5.5 feet tall, but I only weigh 85. I'm not muscular either. I gained a couple pounds but then I lost it for no reason. I eat three meals most of the time, except when I'm depressed then I don't eat much. I'm not afraid of being fat but I am afraid of getting older and having a heart attack because you don't have to be fat to get one. Am I anorexic? Should I eat more or is this normal?

You might not be anorexic; you might just have a very fast metabolism. However, you should talk to a professional about your depression, especially if you don't eat when you are depressed. You should also talk to a nutritionist to help plan out meal plans so you can gain weight in a healthy way. And you need to gain weight: AT LEAST 30 -35 pounds.



Normal, no . But every body is different. I weigh a lot less than Im suppose to too. I eat normal, if anything more than I should but I just don't gain the weight due to a high metabolism. This my be the same for you. I dont think you need to be worried if your eating normal, but you could always check with a doctor & make sure.



You are very substantially underweight. You should be eating more, but you need more than that. Please talk to your doctor about getting help for your depression.



Your kinda skinny, but if you feel fine don't worry about it.
