i feel like im becoming anorexic or something...
ive just had a strong distaste for food and havent been eating much like id eat like a nutrition bar and a redbull for breakfast....then like eat little snacks like some chips during the day...and an extremely small dinner....like yesterday i had 3 chicken fingers for dinner and that was it....is this weird?......my family keeps saying im getting thinner..but i havent been really losing weight on the scale.....and im getting a kick out of the whole thiness thing i think....and i think about food and it kind of just disgusts me.....any type of food.....i dont know whats wrong with me.... (and the thing that scares me is that a girl i really liked...like was IN LOVE with for like 4 years has anorexia...and she just recently moved away ....and has been emotionally vacant towards me for the past few years...and treated me like crap so i wonder if this has something to do with it)

Um, i don't think you're anorexic, but i couldn't say that for sure, because i don't know you. The thing is, people who are anorexic see themselves as being really fat, and they hate themselves for it (or at least i did) and they purposefully stop eating. i didn't get that from your post. honestly, when i was really bad i would never have touched chips or chicken fingers because of all the fat in them. heck, i was scared to eat a slice of white bread even if it was all i was gonna eat that day. I think probably you do need help if your behaviour has changed, and i would recommend seeing a doctor, especially this early, you should check it out. i don't think you're anorexic now, but if you don't check it out, it might turn into that. getting help early for eating disorders has the best recovery rate.
i hope you do well and manage to recover from whatever it is! it sounds like maybe you're having a hard time with this girl moving away.

You're not anorexic because you lost your appetite lately , maybe a little depressed . Are you feeling tired all the time and having bad thoughts , too?

not eating much doesnt always mean an eating disorder, it just means youre not eating much.
if it gets worse, then maybe you should see someone

yes, its common for people to go through stages of not eating as much, but you shouldn't worry much about it until you stop eating for days at a time.

You can't choose to become anorexic, don't be stupid.

Listen, if you are anorexic we can't diagnose you or treat you. Stop reposting and get to a doctor.
