Anorexia?

How do you know when you're starting to get anorexic? Because my sibs have commented on how much I eat, which isn't much, considering I hardly eat breakfast or lunch, because I feel guilty for doing it.
Am I getting to be anorexic, or is it just a little phase I'm going through?

I used to be anorexic .


It was mainly out of depression after my dad died .



It wasn't about being too fat or hating my looks or whatever .



It started with me drinking instead of eating snacks , then not eating as much at eat meal . Then I started to not eat complete meals . And after two months I lost around 60 pounds by not eating anything at all . Except for a few chips .



It can start with you throwing up after eating also . I went down to 87 pounds at the age of 13. Then went up to 110 at the age of 16 . I'm still trying but hopefully you won't go through it .

Are you not eating as much because you're purposely trying to lose weight? Or are you just not eating as much as you usually do? This might help to see if you have any common symptoms of anorexia: link

I'm not eating as much, which is why I was kinda worried. I barely eat lunch, let alone dinner /: thank you!

Well, I'm not a doctor but I think that, once you start feeling very,very self conscious and ashamed of your weight and you start eating less and less to the point where you're starving yourself and you know it's bad for you, but you keep going anyway - then, I think you're anorexic... If you're happy with how much you weigh but you're still eating little, you could maybe talk to your doctor or someone who has a similar problem...Once again, this is just what I think, so maybe you could get better advice from a doctor or someone who has had anorexia...
Hope I helped! :)

I am self conscious about my weight, but I don't make myself not eat; I'm just not all that hungry, and just the thought of eating when I don't want to makes me feel really bad..it's a bit hard to explain /: but thank you for the advice! :)

I doubt it. you are anorexic when you are bones and throw up every single meal. You are not anorexic from the sounds of it.

Hmm, the guilty part might be the one that makes you anorexic.
Though, it might be a phase. I've done that before where I barely ate anything and it wasn't to lose weight or anything. I just lost interest in eating. However, I got out of it eventually. If it continues for longer than a month, I would be concerned. Otherwise, you're likely not anorexic.

It's been more than a month, which is why I posted this :T it's not that I'm trying to lose the weight, I'm just not hungry anymore, until dinner comes around :3

Hmm...you might want to check yourself. Though, its possible you just no longer need to eat as much. Do you exercise? If not, it might explain why you don't have much hunger.
