I think I might be anorexic.
Let me explain.
I'm 5'7 and I weigh 108.6 pounds.
Everyone thinks I'm skinny except me. I've gotten obsessed with losing weight and I've set my goal for 103 lbs. I consume less than 1200 calories a day. And while I know this isn't good for me, I can't seem to stop and actually eat something.

I cannot see a physician because I know it's not yet a major problem and I'm trying to cope with it. I haven't told anyone about my obsession for losing weight because no one is taking me seriously.

You need Dr. Phil.

You should see someone regardless. You are underweight and having an obsession with losing is never a good sign. Your physician should be able to refer you to someone who is trained to work with EDs.

Hi I am sorry to hear what you are going through. If you feel like you may have anorexia I would go speak to a psychiatrist, get help before things really get out of control. Like you said you feel like it is not a major problem "yet". Believe me if you think there may be a problem at least talk to a professional sooner rather than later. I had problems with eating and just brushed them off and made things worse for myself. I finally went and got help, which is hard to admit, but believe me to be able to get everything off my chest I was able to get on the right path to start getting my life back. Most people do not understand what it is like to deal with something like this. You are literally battling your own brain. That's why most people just brush it off like it is nothing. But you know yourself better than anyone, and if you feel like there may be a problem it is worth getting checked out. Good luck and just remember you are not alone in what you are going through.

I would speak with your doctor. You are already underweight and seem to have an eating disorder. You need some help getting to a healthy mind frame and diet
