How do I know if she is anorexic?
Details:
She’s 17. She looks in the mirror and sees how fat she is. It’s constantly the most pressing thought in her mind. She’s been skipping meals since she was 14. She goes on Pro Ana sites in her spare time and she connects with the people in the forums. She eats only when she has to: breakfast to get her metabolism going, and a banana so her stomach doesn’t growl in class. She keeps an Ana journal where she writes about her weight loss journey and all the feelings that she experiences. She feels strong when she’s hungry, and she feels like she floats. When she eats she becomes very very sad and resentful. Her goal is to be a twig. The thing is, she’s not THAT skinny. She’s 5’2 and 105lbs. Is this considered anorexic?
actually, 100 is not underweight for 5’2.
An “anorexic” weight (BMI 17.5 for 5’2 is 95lb, and people don’t start to look bad till their BMI is less than 16-16.5 (87-90)
it’s probably attention, I bet she binge eats, coz if she’d been eating like that for 3 years then she’d be less than 87 by now…
