i dont know- i have the same problem. im 5'1" and weigh 86 lbs

everyone says 'wow, you need to eat! youre anorexic!'
i feel like telling them to shut the you-know-what up lol

i don't think skinny people have eating disorders.
if people think you do they are just probably jealous. you're probably naturally that thin.

i do envy your height though.

Well at 5'9" and 109lbs your Body Mass Index is only 16.1 which is categorized as "starvation/severely underweight". I'm 5'8 and 150lbs (a BMI of 22.8, "normal"). If you're actually that tall and that thin you may have an underlying medical condition that you should get checked out for at the doctor's. The absolute lowest weight you should be at your height is 125lbs (giving a BMI of 18.5, the lowest possible score for "normal").

Since your BMI is so dangerously low it's not at all surprising to me that some people may assume you have an eating disorder.
