Am I getting an eating disorder?

I’ve always thought I was fat but recently my feelings of self hatred towards my body are becoming stronger. When my last boyfriend dumped me in october was 8 stones. Just over maybe. (I was 5 foot 1 and still am now)

I thought that he dumped me because I wasn’t good enough. Too fat. Too ugly. I’ve lost just over a stone in weight, and by april ish I weight just over 7 stone.

But now I’m becoming obsessed. I constantly check how many calories are in foods, and I’ve done it so much I’ve memorised some of it. I don’t want to eat some foods because I’m terrified of I’ll get that fat again, and if I eat just a tiny bit of chocolate I feel so fat and disgusting.

Some days I think ‘great, I look fine! My stomach’s nice and thin’ but on others, which is most of the time, I despise my fat stomach and legs.

I know inside I’m not fat at all but something in my brain is telling me that I am and that I’ve got to lose weight or people won’t like me.

I really don’t know what to do. I’m exactly 7 stone now

  Check out what your weight should be for your age and height. I would guess 95 to 105 pounds.

  From what you’ve written, I’d guess that you might be borderline anorexic. Please check out the link below to understand more about it. Hopefully you are becoming aware of it early enough that you can prevent yourself from falling into its clutches.

Answer #2

borderline anorexic… your not even 100lbs soakin wet at 5’1 you should be at least 110lbs or 8 stones

Answer #3

I have no idea what ‘stones’ are. buti would say you are starting to have an eating disorder. you need to relax and accept that you are beautiful. ok?? you have a very negative self image and you need to get rid of it. go buy a new outfit, start doing your make up different, get a new hairstyle, make a new start. you’ll feel beautiful, and you will look beautiful too.

Answer #4

errm, I THINK 7 stones is about 44kg? I know that there are 14 pounds in a stone
