Question
okay so im your average active cheerleader, the doctor said that im always sick cause im under weight. my mom said that ive been lookin on the slim side and ive been under weight for years. i check my weight atleast 3 times a day. and i make sure that i dont get over a hundred...i dont think i have a problem, do i? oh im 14 5'2 and 95lbs. my mom thinks im anorexic and has forced food many times.
Answer
Dear Sophia,
I know you're not going to want to hear this -- but at least according to your height and weight, you are anorexic! The good news is that you can be well, be slim, feel good, and not have an eating disorder!
A good idea for you would be to start working with a good therapist who specializes in eating disorders -- also a good dietitian!
Please let me know how you do!
Warmly,
