Am i underweight. be honest please.?

Question

i'm 100 pounds and about 5' 6" my friends seem to think i have an eating disorder but i don't think i'm underweight. but i did learn in school like anorexics and buliemics often don't think they have one.

im a dancer btw.

Answer 1

If you were anorexic or bulimic, you would know.  these are diseases where you either starve yourself or make yourself vomit.  You might  just be thin.  some girls are this way when going through puberty.  I don't know how old you are or what your body makeup is, but this is not out of the ordinary.  If you think you have a eating problem, consult an adult or a doctor now!

Answer 2

yes, your underweight.  i'm 5'1"ish and weight a bit more than you and your current weight is possibly why you don't have your period.

Answer 3

Yes. You are underweight.

Answer 4

Someone who is 4'11" should weigh a 100lbs so yes you are definately under weight.

Answer 5

Yes - you are. Your BMI is a a tad over 19. 25 is normal weight. So by definition - you ARE underweight. So you should probably go eat a sandwich.

Answer 6

Yes, your underweight. You haven't given much information about your eating, so I can't tell you if it's anorexia/bulimia. Do you try to avoid food, skip meals, or just not eat at all? If so, your anorexic. Or are you someone who eats and then throws it up, exercises it all off, or uses laxatives? If that's the case, your bulimic. Either way, both of those are really unhealthy for you and you should seek medical attention.

Answer 7

You are underweight. I'm 5'3'' and 100 lbs and I'm consider skinny but not underweight, so you must be.  

Answer 8

My friends are always saying that to me, I'm slightly underweight but it's just because I have a fast metabolism. Ask your doctor if you're really worried about it and make sure you eat properly and healthily.

Answer 9

Not at all. If you feel comfortable with the fact, then i do not think that you are under weight. Please bothered with what other people say.

Answer 10

thats very light for being that height. im that height and im like 130lbs....however some people are just smaller than others.

not having your peroid by 15 isnt a good sign though

all this does not mean your anorexic, but since your a dancer youre definetly under pressure to be small and skinny.

it does sound underweight. maybe you should quit dancing? sorry, maybe youll be mad at me for saying that but maybe if you want to get to a healthier weight.

Answer 11

I don't know how old you are, but an adult who was 5'6" and 100 pounds would be severly underweight.

A healthy BMI is 18.5-24.9.  Your BMI is 16.1.  Someone who is 5'6" should weight at least 115.  Depending on your age, you may not be underweight, but I think you probably are.

Answer 12

I would think adding about 20 lbs or so wouldn't hurt

Answer 13

Hun I'm 100 pounds and 5'3" and I know that I'm really really skinny. And if I'm underweight at this height then you're definitely underweight. You only have an eating disorder if you choose not to eat or eat very little, make yourself throw up, or think you look fat when in fact you don't.  If you're concerned then go to the doctor and tell them what you think. They'll probably ask you a couple questions and see why you're so thin.

EDIT: The reason you probably don't have your period is because you're underweight.

Answer 14

If you have any concerns regarding this the best advise would come from a doctor.. he/she can weigh you etc and put your mind at rest

Answer 15

you are underweight dancers often are
