I've been told I'm on the verge of anorexia. I don't understand though. Sure, I restrict my diet but I am a normal body weight, I still have my period... surely anorexia is being extremely malnourished and haven't had a period for 3 months etc... help? x

Some people are naturally slim and not anorexic at all. And, if you are in the normal range of body weight, I don't see how you could have a problem. Whoever is saying that sounds misinformed.

Told by whom, a doctor? Maybe it is seen in a blood test that you are malnourished. By anyone else, just ignore it.

I've of two minds on this. First, my wife lost quite a bit of weight after we first married and endured all sorts of worry from a few hysterical family members about anorexia. Actually, she started cooking her own food and was able to better manage her food allergies. But anorexia is a real problem. Malnourishment is the symptom, not the problem itself. The important thing is that there is a personality profile and you should see if you fit it. If you do, then you're at risk. If you are at risk you should know that people with this problem have a very skewed view of their own body, so you should not rely entirely on your own judgment. bottom line, get some facts.

go on the internet and check your bmi. Anorexic is being 15 % what should be your normal weight.
