Why Do People Think I Have An Eating Disorder ?
This is killing me! Why do people think I have an eating disorder? My mom thinks I have anorexia and people call me that at school. I feel like people are judging me by how skinny I am! I mean the world critisizes you because you are fat and they also do when you are skinny! I eat a TON but I am a vegitarian (I have a nutrionist who plans my meals so I get everything I need) I am about 5 7 and 85 pounds. I am a major dancer and athlete! How do I show everyone the real me!? Being skinny is not near an eating disorder. My doctor said I am perfectly fine weight. I am a model so I think thats part of it. STOP SAYING EAT MEAT MEAT IS MURDER TO ME! Vegitarianism is perfectly healthy

if you go by BMI than yes you seems to have underweight. If you trying to get weight and not getting weight than choose a vegetarian diet that may increase your weight. Athletes are known for skinny look and don't think to much about it.
