he calls me anorexic but can't figure out why i don't lose any weight. i actually scare him a bit at times....

i eat at least 500 calories a day, but my max is 1500. i work out at least 15 hours a week, and my max is around 25 hours. i don't think i'm anorexic, but i skip breakfast and lunch usually. i hate eating and will only eat dinner, and with as little food as possible since i don't think that my body needs the excess weight. i eat, however, when i start having cramps and usually eat something like a luna bar.... how normal is this?

it does sound extremely close to an eating disorder.
you can find a survey on www.something-fishy.org to determine whether you have an eating disorder.
either way though, that is not healthy at all. you need to eat more.

it doesn't sound like ana, but definitely some kind of eating disorder

Not normal at all.  eating only 500ish calories a day is not good at all.  nor is eating that little and exercising that much.  you're probably getting cramps because you're not eating.  And skipping meals is not healthy.

When I had an eating disorder I would put off eating farther and farther in the day... my goal eventually was to wait out the daytime and only eat once the sun went down. I would skip breakfast and lunch religiously.

I would run everywhere in Boston, instead of walking to increase my heart rate more.

You remind me of myself.

well.
there are many things id like to say about this topic.
but i wont.
because most of them are mean.
so, just please eat. its unhealthy.
and exercisig that much isnt good unless you eat more.
you actually should have meals throughout the day...

That is not normal.  If you are exercising 2-3 hours a day, you need to be getting more than 500 calories.  It's simply not enough.  That is all pretty true to anorexia.

not normal at all. if you work out that much you should eat more to replenish your energy. waiting till you have cramps is very unhealthy
