You do realize skipping meals doesn't help you lose weight? It slows down your metabolism because your body thinks it's in a famine, so it turns all the food you obtain into fat.

Dont skip meals. Eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, just make them healthy.

You can be overweight and have the mindset of an anorexic.

you have a tendency to skip meals, which is not a huge problem, but it's a slippery slope. exercise if you want results

Well, anorexia is a diesease and you can't just say, "I'm anorexic because I skip meals once in a while." so I would not say that you are anorexic because if you are overweight then you can't possibly be anorexic. I skip meals one in a while and I am skinny as hell. But I am not anorexic.

To be anorexic, your BMI has to be lower than 17.5.

Not true... I have a friend who is anorexic and she has a normal BMI, 18 (maybe it's slightly underweight)... My BMI is 15.6 and I am not anorexic.

Generally people who are anorexic are underweight. Though this is not to say you can't have the same mind set as them, however I think they usually refer to people showing only a few symptons of anorexia as EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified)

this isnt a healthy way to lose. you'll lose faster if you eat healthy and exercise. and you wont gain it back.

i think we all have similar ideas floating around our head, but not to the point that we gain a mental disorder from it... : )

skipping meals does not equal anorexia.  

Instead of skipping meals, just eat healthier foods in smaller portions, and exercise.
