Am i anorexic or not?

i dont know if i am but i was just wondering, i eat about 1200 calories a day and if i go to make a meal that has a certain amount of calories in i will put it back, i always weigh my food and add up calories, im 5 foot 7 and weigh around 8 stone 3, i dont think i am to be honest beacuse my weight is quite heavy and i try to eat less and less to lose weight, today i had 30g of golden nuggets and didnt eat until 10 hours later because i wanted to lose weight xxAm i anorexic or not?
You have a small eating disorder and may be OCD. Eat a balaced diet and just relax. Its just food!Am i anorexic or not?
No, I don't think you're anorexic, since you eat 1,200 calories a day. You'd have to drastically restrict your caloric intake, have a low BMI which classifies you as underweight, and lose your periods. You sound like you are heading down the path of having an eating disorder, though.



You definitely need to get a hold of this before it becomes a problem, because eating disorders are mental illnesses/addictions and you will mess up your metabolism. Once you begin eating normally again, you'll gain the weight back, plus more. And I would hope you aren't really going to look after your weight in the future, because it's going to be so hard to lose weight, if you starve yourself now. The mental devastation of an eating disorder is terrible. You become depressed, irritated, withdrawn, lonely. You get obsessed and all you can think about is food, what you can and can't eat, how to get away with it, etc.



It's seriously not worth it. I've been dealing with an eating disorder for 4 years. I'm not even skinny. I still have all this weight to lose, but because I've messed up my metabolism, I think it's harder for me now. Just eat right and exercise. Easier said than done, but really, do not starve yourself. Talk to a friend about this. You don't want it to get out of hand, trust me.
