How do you classify as anorexic?

How many meals do you have to miss to be considered anorexic? I heard if you miss meals, drink a lot of liquids and exercise a lot it won't be as harmful for the body. Is this true? And if your 5.0" how much do you need to weigh to be consider anorexic?

Recommended Answer:

Google "bmi calculator". Enter your height and weight and it will tell you your bmi. A bmi under 18 is underweight. Being underweight, having irregular or stopped periods, and hair loss are all physical signs of anorexia, but the anorexia itself is a mental condition that is often connected to depression, anxiety, and extreme perfectionism. Not all anorexics are underweight. If you think you might be anorexic, please please please talk to your doctor before it gets out of control. Therapy can be incredibly helpful too.

Other Answers:

• Anorexia isn't classified by a certain weight or meal structure. It is a mental illness.
• Anorexia doesn't have to do with weight. Most girls who are anorexic though are underweight (bmi is under 18). It's about self conciseness about the way you look and on how you need to be skinnier. It's about not eating or eating very little amounts of food, (often 500 calories or under). It's starvation and not good. It can last for weeks, months years even decades.Don't let anorexia enter your life
• Eating comes prior to exercising. No amount of liquids can replace food. Exercise cannot take place without food and if you try it, you will be considered anorexic. It can harm the body, and there is no point in missing meals as food is generally good for you. Missing meals is a serious issue.
