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.  

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.

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

Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend.

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.

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

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.

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