Just Because I am skinny people always think that I'm anorexic, can you tell me why?

Don't worry about it. Really. If you are happy and you know you're not anorexic,it really doesn't matter what other people think. I look at it that they're probably just jealous. Have fun! Go shopping!  :)

Not everyone who is obese has an eating disorder.  Not everyone who is very thin has one either.\nBut yes, there are similarities, and eating disorders manifest differently in different people. There are "normal" weight people with eating disorders too, but it doesn't show on the outside the way it does on a very skinny or very fat person.\nI like the fact that you are not judging either one and showing some curiosity if not compassion.

Im a recovering anorexic!! I had anorexia from age of 12 to 20 and small episodes every now and then. And no it's not something a person is born with!!\nI developed it straight from the onset of puberty, i developed earlier than most my peers. And I have had a bad family life. My parents have separated numerous times.\nIt is a way of trying to gain control over my life when things around me are falling apart. It's not easy to get over and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

i used to be slim until i got ill. i have to take medication and it has made me put on alot of weight. not all overweight people are like that cos they eat too much etc. alot of them have medical conditions. when i see them, i always feel for them and hope they are happy and loved, cos that is all we really want. i am very overweight now but im ok with it. i asked my daughter how she felt about me and she turned around and said, i prefer u this way!  it can be an awful struggle for an overweight person to lose weight, just the same as its very difficult for skinny people to put on weight. we are the way we are. i never thought id end up being the size i am but i accept it. i am still me, there is just more of me to love!

I'm guessing u think u weigh too much. Have u just tried to talk ur problems out with some who cares or has the same problem? I use to think i didn't/ couldn't weigh enough. I ate everything in sight and couldn't get over a hundred lbs. I couldn't find anything to wear, everything was too big. even my size 0 jeans. So I guess i had to opposite problem. It went away after I had a kid. I use to talk to girls who had eating disorders to help them.

Because your mind is telling you skinny...skinny...calories...\ncalories...fat...fat.  Change your thinking!!

My heart goes out to you. It must be hard to hear what you have described. \n\nI feel scared for you if your Mom is saying you are fat at a size 0 and you are starting to believe her. This sounds like possible emotional abuse. If she means you no harm, then it sounds like an attitude from someone who has Anorexia . It is a very difficult, yet treatable condition if the person seeks help. No matter what your Mom says or does, I hope you see a school counselor or doctor about this very soon for your own safety. They can help you find out if you have Anorexia, and can help you if some verbal / emotional abuse is going on. \n\nI've met some people who don't have an eating disorder and genuinely cannot gain weight even when they try to. This is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. A professional can help you find some answers. \n\nI wish you the best.

They will ask you lots of questions and look at you and probably feel around, but remember as annoying as it may be they are trying to help you. I have a friend that was anorexic and she has several internal health problems now. It is a very serious illness, and I hope you overcome it. Good luck, and stay strong, you can do it.

I don't understand the weight measurements you have stated in your question.  What does that equal in pounds?\n\nYour other symptoms are classic for anorexia (an eating disorder).  There could be many causes to these symptoms if you feel that you do not have an eating disorder.\n\nI encourage you to seek medical attention with your family doctor as soon as possible.\n\nI wish you well!

i know what u mean! well, kinda, you see, i was like that...ok, i lie, i am like that...and i dont know what it is. counsleing, and crap is trying to help me figure the source, but i dont think it is for beauty, i think it goes far beyaond that by being called fat by my father when i was only 6 years old..then by my sibblings. although i was never fat. i am under my weight now, too far, and it hasnt made me beautiful, and it never will. annorexia only gets you a lot of teasing and embarrassment, and into a deep puddle of mud. i wish i could get help, but all i can get help from is my mom and a youth pastor. i feel lonly and lost, and it is a troubling disease to have. it scares me and makes me sad.

NO. In fact, you're probably too skinny. You should NEVER think you're overweight because of what you see in the media/what other people say. You are YOURSELF and you should be comfortable with what you look like!

I think you just needed to vent a little! You should be proud of how you look no matter what size you are. As long as you're healthy and happy, that is all that matters. Don't worry about what other people think.

it depends how tall you are. if you are tall, consult a physician. if you are short and still find yourself skinny, still consult a physician. if you are really that concerned, that is. \n\nyou also may have an eating disorder (this is not your fault.) my friends mom has it. she eats and eats and eats but she cant get over 120 pounds. shes 5'8"!!!!\n\nconsult your doctor. :) hope i helped!

If you like yourself, being chubby isn't a problem. If someone wants to put you down for it, they are just jealous that they can't have the same figure as you.  My opinion, if someone is a size "0" or "1" shouldn't be on this planet!  They are way too small.

Maybe it is because the people who are calling or thinking you are fat, are so insecure, that they would rather point out your faults, than allow anyone to see their faults. \n\nI am not fat, but I am not scrawny, I just dont believe in being a toothpick, and for this I was commented on my whole life by my sister, and now she is fatter than me. I should have seen that she was the one that had the complex, and that it was never me. I feel for my sister now, as she has no more comments on this topic. Although she still tries to think of herself as thin (she was on the verge of anorexia) but she knows she is not. So now she goes for other areas where she can break me down. \n\nI take it, and forget the comments, I know it is her that has a problem, and not me. Forget what people say about you, rather feel for them. As they are more than likely insecure. If you are happy with your weight and size, then you have no problem to worry about.
