Answers:
Definitely. If you have lost too much weight, your body starts to shut down and not perform functions that you don't need to survive. (I.e....you don't NEED to get your period to survive..it just ensures that you can bear children). If you don't gain enough weight to start getting your period soon, you may lose the chance to ever have children again. If you go without your period for an extended amount of time, you may never get it back.
Anorexia has a huge road to recovery--you need to be ready to face it and it will require a lot of strength. Good luck, hon.
