Scared of being diagnosed with Anorexia?

Question

What do you have to weigh to be diagnosed with it? My mom is taking me to the doctor and I'm scared that they are going to say something about it. She is worried b/c I dropped from 105.5 to 96lbs, which is still considered healthy for me. And I know I'm not anorexic b/c I am still eating, I'm just not eating as much food as normal.

Can you give me some info on being diagnosed with it?

Thanks!

Oh, and also my height is 5'2, and I'm 15

Answer 1

weight is a very important indicator of anorexia.. anorexia is more of a psychological disturbance.. it is more of the thinking "I'm fat that is why I wont eat".. in your case.. you are not anorexic..=)
