Answers:
Here is a growth chart (by CDC) http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhanes/grow...

According to this, at 14 y/o, you're fine.

The problem with going all day without any food until the end of the day is that your blood sugar will be low--too low, and you can pass out. Not a safe thing to happen.

Furthermore, your stomach expects something to be there--and it probably hurts because the gastric juice is digesting on practically nothing--thus the heartburn feeling you experience.

You need to speak to your parents about this. Were you late to school a reason for not eating.? Did you not have money to get lunch.? Were there other reasons.? Do food repulse you.?

It sounds like there is more to this "not wanting to eat all day long" then skipping meals--and I am afraid you're so young, and you need food to grow. Your body is not fully mature until you reach the end of your teens.

Do something about it soon. Health Question & Answer

one days limited food consumption does not make you anorexic. Anorexia Nervosa is defined by intentionally dieting until one is well past the point of being underweight. If you weigh between 120-130 for your height, you're skinny and shouldn't lose weight. I would not panic and worry however just because you didn't eat much for one day. If you intentionally did so in the hopes of reducing your weight, then you could be classified as anorexic if you did so for a prolonged number of days.Health Question & Answer

No, you're not anorexic, from your question description.

Anorexic people are very uptight about their personal image and are very self-conscious. You seem to be just normal (ish.)

Your eating habits aren't good at all! Every person NEEDS to have at LEAST 3 meals a day for a heathy life style. Did you not eat anything because you don't want to gain weight.? Or did you not eat anything because you didn't feel hungry at all.? If it's the latter, go see your doctor and tell him/her about it. Or take matters into your own hands and force yourself to eat, lightly, and more often.Health Question & Answer

you may be getting sick, or taking medications that surpress your appetite.

anorexia is an eating disorder. this means that people starve themselves for control. are you really stressed lately.? that could be causing you to not eat. like you dont mean too and you dont think thats the reason but it could be. thats how it starts.

cam down though. 75% of woman practice some sort of disordered eating during their life. (i mean like for a month or something) and only 10% of that 75% actually has the offical eating disorder.

an eating disorder is all about control. i would stop worrying! if this continues talk to a guidence counselor or nurse or doctor. just tell them whats going on and they will help you. but dont be like. omg doctor am i anorexic.? that will just make a scene. so calm down. you'll be okay. and just try to eat. you'll be back to normal in no time. what your doing is nomral. it happens to a lot of teenagers. youshould only worry if it gets out of control. and good for you for recognizing this!

ps--you cant be 'an anorexic' you are 'an anorexic person' anorexic is an adjective. anorexia is a noun. Health Question & Answer

Anorexia is usually forced upon.. they starve themselves. The reason for your stomach hurting is because you waited and then ate and ate and ate. Just don't do that again if you don't want to be anorexic. If you would like to lose weight, which you really don't, exercise and eat healthy!!Health Question & Answer

'Anorexic' people generally like myself see nothing wrong with their actions.

It's like a second sense to them, it's a part of who we are, and sometimes we like to show a little pride in it, not worry.

I'd say you're not.

I'm 5'6'' and weigh 115 lbs . This really has little to do with anything btw.Health Question & Answer
