I'm anorexic?

Question

I'm 15 and 5 feet tall. I weigh 85 pounds and I've been called anorexic multiple times. I'm not even anorexic! What should I do?

Answer

you're a little underweight. go to a doctor (:

Answer

i was around 95 pounds when i was 15-16 because of my high metabolism, but my doc said i was perfectly healthy. 85, though, is definitely extreme

Answer

it sounds like you're just underweight. Being underweight and being anorexic are verrrrrrry different. 85 lbs is a bit light for your age. I'm the same height and I'm told that I should be between around 98 and 120 lbs for a healthy bmi. However each person is different, so perhaps you should consult with your physician.

Answer

Are you looking for advice on how to change your weight? or on how to ignore the haters?

Answer

Don't pay attention to negativity.  You are still young and everyone grows differently.  If it's really bothering you,  consult with your doctor.  The important thing is that you're healthy and getting all the nutrients you need.

Answer

Ignore them. I was 5’2” and 95lbs throughout high school. People say mean things... ignore it.
Also you aren’t too skinny if you’re eating a good diet, enough calories, and what not. Some people have naturally smaller builds and if you’ve always been that small chances are your doctor won’t see a problem because it’s not weight loss. Being slightly underweight but maintaining a lifetime trend of being smaller doesn’t have any negative health effects. 
If you want to gain weight, increase protein and lift weights.

Answer

Maybe a picture would help us... you do sound under wight but that doesn’t mean anything anorexia is not being “skinny” it’s an eating disorder u could be over wight and still be anorexic. It’s not your wight it’s how u eat and of u eat at all

Answer

I'm 5 foot and was 89 lbs when I found out I was pregnant  (at 32 years old). I absolutely did not look 89 lbs.  I'm not anorexic nor bulimic. I eat like a cow and nothing sticks. I was 116 lbs at delivery at 41 weeks.  I went back to 95 lbs within 4 weeks pp.  some people,  like us, can eat like cows and not gain a pound. doesn't mean we are anorexic. it's actually, the ones that shame us, that probably need to loose a few pounds , and because they can't even LOOK at food without gaining a pound,  they make other people's lives miserable by insulting them.
