Alaska Young	Well, if you DO eat then you are not anorexic, but even though you don't feel like eating, try to to maintain your health and physical fitness. if this really becomes a major problem try to see your dietitian. try to eat healthy things like fruits and stuff to please your mom and aunt. Smoothies are always a good tasting source of fruit ;) Hope this helps! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Douglas B	I do not know how you look so maybe you just need to eat right portioned meals that are not bad for you and exercise. Remember that for example you think those low calorie things are ok but the numbers add up if you eat too much. also you might want to go to a therapist and talk. a lot of girls think they are over weight when they really are not. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lala Land	NO! your not anorexic hunni, you simply dont feel up to eating, unless you see yourself getting very thin and not wanting to eat anything what so ever then NO your not, and even if you are it could just be a sickness bug you have, if they believe it to be tht then they would take you to the doctors and find out for sure rather than be worried, they love you too much to not take the time to go visit a doctor - dont worry about it babe youll be fine - try and cheer yourself up abit and mybe eat something even if you dont feel like it - show them that you are capable you just dont want to as you feel down or whatever...

sweetie pie	when something drastic or shocking happens in your life, you may not have as much of an appetite as you did before. this doesn't mean you're anorexic - if you're anorexic then you think you look fat, etc. it's obvious that you're not thinking that. it may take some time for you to get back on track, but you can do it. i wish you the best! and i hope this helped :) good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kelly	No, you're just stressed out. Some people eat when they're stressed, other's don't eat. It's perfectly normal but you shouldn't let it turn into anything serious. I would consult your doctor or maybe do some activities that don't stress you out and get this fixed as soon as possible. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ta-Zu	I think you're just stressed. Anorexia is more than just not eating/eating very little, it also has a lot to do with a mindset that you're very fat, when most of the time, you're already very skinny and you're going to do anything to achieve your non-existent perfect body. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

april l	i know ur bummed and going through rough times but that is not an excuse to not eat so yes i think you are...... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Aloha!	No your not anorexic. anorexic people dont eat and feel a huge high from it. you cant be unvolunteerily anorexic Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MsJudged	A lack of appetite that is involuntary is much different from the conscious avoidance or fear of eating that comes with anorexia. You may, however, be suffering from depression. If your appetite continues to be this low, you might want to talk to your parents about it. If you're also constantly tired, have little energy, cry for no reason, or have suicidal thoughts, you should discuss the possibility of seeing a therapist with your parents. Even if you aren't clinically depressed, seeing a therapist can help you build strategies to deal with some of the more difficult things in your life. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

allmylovn	Anorexia is a psychological disorder where the individual is afraid to gain weight so they REFUSE and purposely avoid eating. "To be diagnosed as having anorexia nervosa, according to the DSM-IV-TR, a person must display: 1. Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height (e.g., weight loss leading to maintenance of body weight less than 85% of that expected; or failure to make expected weight gain during period of growth, leading to body weight less than 85% of that expected). 2. Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming obese. 3. Disturbance in the way in which one's body weight or shape is experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self-evaluation, or denial of the seriousness of the current low body weight. 4. The absence of at least three consecutive menstrual cycles (amenorrhea), in women who have had their first menstrual period but have not yet gone through menopause (postmenarcheal, premenopausal females). 5. Or other eating related disorders." Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

TonyJuan12	Stress can bring that on! Once you get over what it is that is causing the stress than your eating habits will return. Try doing things that normally excite you or make you happy. Once your mind is occupied by other thoughts than you desire for food will return! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
