Answer 1

You are some what under weight. However, I am under weight and can eat virtually anythng I desire. If your low weight is self induced through anorexia or bulemia you may want to consider being treated for an eating disorder. Also, you may want to consider having a BMI (body mass index) test performed on you. Though it may sound intimidating, they will simply ask you to remove your clothing and pinch your fat with a caliber on your the tops of your arms, your tummy, and your inner thighs. This is the most accurate way to assure you are at the right weight for your height and aren't too thin.
