-- Posted by RoseBeautyMagical416 at 5:29 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I went on a couple of sites to figure out my BMI(Body Mass Index). I am 5 ft 10 in and I weigh 120lbs. According to the National Institute of Health and Department of Health and HUman Services. I don't get it. I don't starve myself and I don't binge/purge at all. I don't excerise either, except for walking around campus. I inherited a high metabolism. I know this may not seem like a big deal, but I am worried about how will this affect my health. I was just wondering if there are other eating disorders out there and I have not heard about them? -- Posted by Medevac at 5:29 am on Nov. 19, 2008 lucky you -- Posted by RoseBeautyMagical416 at 5:31 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I would like a real answer -- Posted by Medevac at 5:32 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from RoseBeautyMagical416 at 5:31 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I would like a real answer i didnt read the post but from the sounds of the title you've got a pretty sweet thing goin on -- Posted by RoseBeautyMagical416 at 5:34 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from Medevac at 5:32 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from RoseBeautyMagical416 at 5:31 am on Nov. 19, 2008 I would like a real answer i didnt read the post   but from the sounds of the title you've got a pretty sweet thing goin on I was just wondering if there were other eating disorders out there that i have not heard of.. thats all -- Posted by roflfuckyou at 5:35 am on Nov. 19, 2008 no it's not an eating disorder. some people are just naturally skinny. -- Posted by Anonymous at 5:36 am on Nov. 19, 2008 well Hun my girlfriend has an eating disorder and i found out last night i am i don't know what to do i tell her she is beautiful to me all the time it gets me how girls can be -- Posted by Absynthia at 5:37 am on Nov. 19, 2008 truely it could just be your metabolism..or, if you work out or do any type of physical activity, you may not be consuming has many or more calories as you are burning -- Posted by santana 08 at 5:37 am on Nov. 19, 2008 eating disorders are a mental thing....just cuz ur under weight does nOT mean u have an eating disorder...you are just naturally thin...enjoy it -- Posted by RoseBeautyMagical416 at 5:37 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 5:36 am on Nov. 19, 2008 well Hun my girlfriend has an eating disorder and i found out last night i am i don't know what to do i tell her she is beautiful to me all the time it gets me how girls can be tell her you love her no matter what -- Posted by spartan09 at 5:44 am on Nov. 19, 2008 There's nothing wrong with being skinny or fat. The problem with anything is when it's too extreme. If you think you're fine, and you don't have any eating disorders, you're probably just naturally skinny. If you're worried about your weight, trying picking up a workout routine. Maybe some running and lightweights to build up a little mass in muscles. -- Posted by ray503458 at 5:46 am on Nov. 19, 2008 It sounds to me like you have a case of Hyperthyroidism, my sister had it and we've been seeing more of it in the field. The problem is that people end up eating whatever they want and instead of gaining weight they just end up with High cholesterol and heart disease. The best thing to do is get evaluated by a doctor and be as healthy as possible. as far as eating disorders, my girlfriend has one, weve been dating for 5 years. No matter what anyone tells a person with an eating disorder, it won't fix it. We do group therapy, she does therapy on her own and lots of SSRI's and MAOI's to help her. Unfortunately eating disorders come from a much deeper than "I'm ugly" or "I'm fat" disorders: Anorexia Nervosa, Compulsive Over eating, Bulemia Nervosa, and my personal favorite --  Failure to Thrive -- Posted by silverrose42 at 5:48 am on Nov. 19, 2008 If it's genetic, you really can't do anything about it -- Posted by ray503458 at 5:48 am on Nov. 19, 2008 P.S. the thyroid (lump on your neck) produces the hormones that make your metabolism work. Its also kind of important because it absorbs iodine. -- Posted by depressedfreak at 11:59 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 You've just got a fast metabolism. Heck, i'm 5'10 and 125 lbs. Then again, i'm a guy. Don't know if that means anything, though... -- Posted by Catacomb at 1:52 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 you could be sick
