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.

skipping meals does not equal anorexia.  

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