Am I starting?

[Lyra Heartstrings]

I generally..avoid eating. I'm not fat. I'm only 100 lbs. But I am very self conscious of my weight..So I try not to eat as much as a normal person. I do eat. I don't throw up my food. I just..try not to eat.
Am I starting to..well..be anorexic? I'm worried..

It sounds like it could be the very beginnings of an ED, but I'm not a professional. I would recommend talking to a counselor at the very least, to make sure it doesn't spiral into a full blown ED.

Possibly, or maybe honestly just not hungry.

It definitely sounds like you're starting.
You're 100 pounds! Chill out! Try to eat more, or better yet just ignore your weight (almost) entirely.

I do think you have possibly started on a dangerous path. Before it gets any worse, try to understand that eating is not a bad thing and that there is a difference between having an eating disorder and being health conscious. If you are conscious about your weight, eat healthy meals while exercising. Simply cutting out food is horrendously bad for both your current and future health. I had a similar problem where I tried to lose weight by simply eating less, but truthfully all I accomplished was making myself feel dead. In no way am I saying to just pig out on whatever you feel like, because that can lead to another eating disorder, but you need to enjoy eating for the simple reason that food keeps you healthy.

OP, I weigh 240 pounds. When I tell you that you have nothing to worry about, trust me, you have nothing to worry about.

If you feel like you need to improve your looks, exercise! Being skinny as a male is not attractive to women, and by not eating you are learning unhealthy habits that will be very hard to get rid of later.

I figured I would come here first..but thank you for the advice. :)

It's been going on for a couple months..I dunno. But thank you.

I've always been pretty freaked out about being overweight. I know, that probably makes me a bad person, but..yeah. Thank you. :)

You're a pretty skinny person already, if you want to look nice than what you should do is eat healthily, so you can maintain your weight, and then exercise to gain some muscle... working out makes you feel absolutely wonderful about yourself, much better than starving.
