Hey,
About one month ago my weight was around 127 pounds (58 kg), and now it's about 117 pounds (53 kg). My length is 5 feet & 9 inch. As a total, my BMI is 17.3 at the moment.
I enjoy food and I want to eat much and gain weight, but I am full after eating just one slice of bread. When I ignore my feelings and continue to eat I am getting pain in my stomach.
Do I have an Eating Disorder?
And what should I do now?
Thanks,
Syn.

I dislike the bmi system as you need to use it in conjunction with other evaluations to get a true reading on your health, different body builds and different bone density and many other things will also affect ones weight.

Sadly if you have not eaten much for a long time your stomach will be easily filled and shrink, you must challenge yourself each time but it does get easier with time as your body will adjust but until then the only way to build up the amount you may consume is to push yourself each time you eat.

I outlined above what i believe you should do, challenge yourself each time, it is good you have realized you have a problem and now is the time to take action. Only a professional can diagnose if you have an eating disorder no one person on this website has the qualifications to diagnose you here on vt, if you wish for a diagnosis you will have to seek professional help

You should definitely see a medical professional. To me, it doesn't sound like you have and ED, just because you don't seem discontent with your body, but you could. As was said in the previous post, we can't diagnose you. See a professional. Good luck, and sorry we can't be of much more help.
