Am I anorexic?

I’m around 5’8. I currently weigh about 111 pounds. I plan to go down to 110. I exercise a little. I take hoodia and use a precription drug to keep me from getting hungry. My biggest fear is gaining weight. I like looking thin so my cute clothes look good on me. That’s important to me. I like to eat, but I don’t do it much anymore. I probably eat less than 700 calories a day now. I live on sugar free jello and gum, and low calorie diet food. I don’t think I have a problem because I don’t weigh less than 100 pounds. My mom says I’m developing anorexia. Is this true?

Without a doubt, you have every stigmata and sign of an eating disorder. In addition, you may have body dysmorphic disorder. Either way, please please please get medical help. 700 calories a day is hardly enough for anyone to sustain life and my fear for you is that left untreated, your current eating patterns will worsen and will place you at risk of kidney failure (which results in death), heart failure (which results in death), and electrolyte disturbances (which result in death).

If you are scared to enter a treatment program or to get help from a trained medical professional because you think that you will be surrendering “control” over your life, please consider what “control” you really have. If you look closely at your life, I’m sure you’ll see that you’re not really in as “control” as you might like to think. Again, please get help for your medical condition–before it’s too late.
