If u are around 5'5 or smaller and weigh more than 140, you are considered overweight. But then if you stop eating, yes you will be anorexic. Sooner than later your body will start eating away at your muscle stores, giving you the anorexic look. Then it will start eating your fat, and then it will start eating your organs,a nd that can cause heart failure. I am an anorexic and this is the first time i have ever answered questions. i weigh 101 and I'm 5'5. I used to weigh 130. I always look online for ways to lose more weight, but trust me its not fun. I cant sleep and i cry almost every night. I'm also a compete witch now a days. I have no friends either. I pushed them all away. Some people say oh your body holds on to the fat, and that may be true for a bout a week. You'll lose a ton of weight then you will, stay the same for a while, then again your body will lose a ton of weight. But once you start eating again, you'll gain it back so fast. That's why its called Anorexia. Because you wont eat again. You hate food like i do. You hate living like i do.

∙ 15y agoYes. Most start out not underweight, so it can take a while - even if they are anorexic - to "qualify" (sorry, that's probably not the best term to use) as "underweight". Being underweight requires yu to be pretty thin for your height, gender, and age. It is possible to be anorexic and still a "normal" weight, especially in the early strages when it has not turend very severe yet.

∙ 13y agoCurrently, no. One of the diagnostic criteria in the DSM-IV is an underweight BMI. Many professionals want to change this when the DSM-V comes out, because someone can be exhibit anorexia behaviors and not be skinny (yet). Those people are very sick but not technically anorexic. Technically, they are Eating Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS).

Scary skinny do you have a disease?
Anorexia is not plain looks. To be anorexic is to not be in control of your own actions towards food. You restrict and do not care what it does to you, because all you care about is control and not gettting fat. If you are like that, and 25 pounds underweight, then you are considered anorexic. If you are just 25 pounds underweight, you are unhealthy, but not anorexic or diseased.

How much weight do you loose being anorexic and bulimic?
Anorexia and bulimia are very serious eating disorders. People who are anorexic or bulimic can lose as much or as little weight possible. Some people can be 10 pounds underweight, some can be 40 pounds underweight. If you know someone who is anorexic or bulimic tell them that you are worried about them and strongly encourage them to get professional help.
You only eat a bagel in then you starve the rest of the day does that make you an anorexic?
No, not at all, actually. First of all, an anorexic probably wouldn't eat a whole bagel at once. Even if you want to, if you're truly anorexic, you can't, trust me. Second of all, if it's just one day, then you're not considered anorexic, you just didn't eat much that day. It has to be something regular for it to be given the title anorexic. Besides, what lots of people don't realize is this: You aren't anorexic unless you're underweight. If you're normal weight, but you starve yourself, you are simply fasting, or starving yourself, until you're underweight.
I am scared that I'm becoming anorexic but I've been on lots of diets and they don't work what can i do?
