Anorexia occurs when you feel insecure & unsatified with your body when its perfectly fine. Your mirror makes you feel that, you stop eating little by little. i was anorexic too, i was only 12 & i was a little chubby and i wanted to be skinny cause guys in my school would make fun of me so i lost 30 pounds in 3 months by starving dinner first, then lunch. I only at a little breakfast! never do it! i regret it, my boobs didint grow & my butt didnt grow and i was a stick and i rather have curves. You also faint & get dizzy and you dont know who you are anymore and you have schedules of what your gonna eat for the future, i planned mine untill college);

It depends on your height. Check the bmi and if its within the healthy range then...thats healthy.
