Yes, you are underweight. Your BMI is around 17.6. Try drinking Slim-Fast or Boost meal replacement drinks ALONG with your regular meals. It can be really hard to gain weight (my husband is 5'10" and perpetually 122 lbs and my younger brother is 5'8" and 105 lbs) so you may want to talk to a doctor about it. Being underweight doesn't necessarily make you unhealthy, but you will probably feel better if you gain some weight.
dude eat a cheese burger!
u probably burn the food u eat off fast
I'm 5'11 and 120 pounds. I get the same thing. You know you're healthy, and thats all that really matters. I find that my friends are more jealous than anything. Embrace it!
If you're eating, then you're not anorexic.
You are slim, but your weight is fine. If you are eating normally, it sounds like you have high metabolism.
I'm 6'0" and 110lbs...my friends joke about my weight a lot and some of their mom's used to worry (they'd encourage my friends to invite me over so they could feed me). My mom used to worry too (she read and article in the NY Times Magazine about an anorexic girl who was exactly like me), but they've all gotten over it. Anorexia implies an obsession with body image, in which you think you're "fat" even though your not...when my friends worry I hand them a dictionary!
You don't need to gain weight, but losing any would not be fun...I'd try eating lots of small meals throughout the day...it doesn't help me gain weight, but it keeps my energy levels normal, and that's what matters. Your weight is only dangerous (assuming you're happy with it) if you get really fatigued or sick all the time.
good luck : )
