is it possible to be subconsciously anorexic?

I refuse to eat breakfast
make up excuses to not eat lunch
i only eat dinner, and i refuse to eat more than "necessary"
i shy away from all deserts

and I've lost 10 lbs in the past month i think

If i have to eat something because my parents make me, i start to feel sick, like I'm going to throw up. The smell of food sometimes makes me dizzy, and I get headaches a lot.

Yes, I would consider that as anorexic.

You haven't had food for such a long time that now it makes you sick just smelling it. I suggest you seek help, immediately.

That's an understatement.
You could literally die. Your body isn't getting anything it needs. It will eventually start eatings it's self from the inside out. You have to do something about it, immediately. I can't stress that enough.

I think that could be very true, but I wouldn't jump to self-diagnose yourself. If you want to, I would go to the doctor and talk it through with them, they can give you better advice on where to go from here.

As for they question of being subconsciously anorexic, I didn't think anorexics walked around thinking "I'm anorexic" all day.

most people with eating disorders are in denial about it for years, not just under a month

No one here is able to diagnose you with anorexia. Anorexia is diagnosed by a health care professional, usually a psychiatrist who is trained in that area of expertise. You can check out the DSM IV's criteria for anorexia. There are usually 4 key things to diagnose a person with anorexia.

1) Refusing to maintain healthy body weight.
2) Incredibly strong fear of gaining weight.
3) The menstrual cycle is interrupted by at least 3 months or so.
4) I don't know how to really explain this one, but it's like denying anything is wrong with your weight/health.

People may say 'Yeah you sound it' but they probably don't even know the definition of anorexia nervosa or it's symptoms.

If you think you have any of those 4 then see a doctor.

IMO it doesn't sound healthy, but everyone is different and sometimes people can survive on little food. I think you should see a doctor and get a blood test + other tests just to make sure.

real anorexia IS subconscious

those who openly admit to being anorexic are generally attention seeking a bit, and they know they can change their eating habits, though real anorexics are unaware they have a problem

Not always true.

Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.

After reading this thread I realized that I am anorexic. I figured my abnormal weight and light eating habits were just genetics (most likely an excuse) because my grandfather had it. I am 5'9 and 115 lbs and my BMI is 7%. I think I have been anorexic for 3 years now, and I had absolutely no idea until a good friend of mine texted me about how her therapy was going (she was bolimic and anorexic, fourth generation to have it). Anyway thanks for the thread, getting checked out tomorrow.

um, well, u dont sound completly anerexic, well not yet. u should try eating more, i know it's hard, trust me, i went four an a half mounths without eating at all. its really hard to start eating again, cuz the longer u go without eating, the harder it is to start again. trust me, u dont wanna go down that road.
