Do I have an eating disorder? I think I do.?

Hey I think I may have an eating disorder. Lately I have not been hungry anymore and I barely eat. I only eat one meal a day because I'm never hungry. My family and friends are always trying to force me to eat but like I said I'm never hungry. I also excersise alot even when I dont eat. I dont think I'm fat I just love excersise. Plus I'm a vegetarian so I dont eat any meat. I'm also wicked skinny. Am I sick?

Please give me advice.

Thanks.

Anorexics DO feel hungry.
It sounds like you are not eating for different reasons.

If you know that you are too skinny you are not eating disordered.

If you are worried about it then you should definitely see a doctor. You may have something wrong with the trigger that tells your brain that you need to eat. Everyone needs nourishment. Good Luck and God bless.

First check your BMI (Body Mass Index) using this http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

I think the reason you鈥檙e not hungry is because your metabolism isn鈥檛 going since you don鈥檛 eat much which after a while can make you have to force your meals. You probably aren鈥檛 sick but from what you said I would suggest you get to work on food because the body needs it.

The reason you are skinny is because you are not eating more calories than you burn.

having 'no appetite' is different then ignoring your hunger to lose weight. i think yuo should talk to your parents and see a Doctor, there are reasons why you could not be hungry and you should get checked out. Keep a food diary so you know how much you eat s othey can evaluate you based on your calorie intake and see if you are getting enough nourishment also.
