Answers:

I've been there and had those thoughts and see where you are coming from. I've envied that 'skinny' look and wanted that. I tried to get there and it took over my life. Then somewhere along the line i woke up to the risks. I was going to make myself very ill if I didn't start living a healthy lifestyle. The heart is a muscle and when our body runs out of energy the muscles become fuel..weak heart? Scary and real.

Do not do this to yourself. These model girls are either very naturally skinny or very ill.

Get yourself a healthy diet and exercise appropriately. I would also talk through your thoughts with your doctor as soon as possible.

Enjoy your life. Why does image have to be such a focus? Surely being energetic, healthy and glowing is the biggest aspiration.

You sound very very slim already for your height and weight, do lose any more weight.

The risks should bother you. Is it worth it? Think of your future. You deserve more than what you are giving yourself.

Stay safe and best wishes.



You are extremely thin already. Please don't try to lose any more weight. You're already considerably underweight and there are MANY health risks associated with being underweight, including osteoporosis, infertility and heart trouble later in life. By eating hardly anything you are also damaging your metabolism and further risking your health. PLEASE be careful and consider talking to someone about this.



Are you sure you want to be THAT thin? I usually like people thinner than others, but once they get anorexia kind of thin, it stops appealing even to me.
I guess it's not normal for you to want to be that thin, just because normal would mean that most other people want it too, and they don't.



its normal, especially if you're young. it's better to eat barely anything, to eat nothing at all. when i was a freshman in high school i ate maybe on thing a day, something very small. that's changed now [im 19] its just a stage, i dont find being thin very attractive anymore. but i know how it is to want to be anorexic thin



Its not weird to want to be thinner but it is rather unhealthy to stop eating altogether. I recommend
-joining a gym
-exercising on your own
-going to a dietitian
-cutting back on foods on your own (but not stopping altogether)

anorexia is bad and screws up your life.



So you are 5ft4, 98 lbs. Don't lose anymore weight. Sounds like you are already model thin, you don't want to be holocaust thin. I'm not being mean, I'm as thin as you are right now I like this weight & people say I'm skinny.



Why do you want to be that skinny? People will talk about you - not in a good way! I was in school with a girl like that, her nickname was Skeletor.



Wanting to be thin and wanting to be anorexic are two different things. You should try to eat a healthy diet to be your best. Good luck!



It means that you may be well on your way to a deadly eating disorder. Seek help.



Do what you want to do but just be careful.



no this is not normal honey..you do NOT want to be anorexic..besides having bad health, ppl make fun of anorexics...



People like different things. It's not normal what you want right now but hey, who can blame you?



um anorexia is a mental illness, it's not the weight itself...



no not at all, its perfectly fine and healthy
