but how do u know if u have 7% fat or less or more than that?? is there a way to measure it?
The most common way I know of is with calipers, but you need someone trained how to use them properly to get an accurate result. It measures the skinfolds and gives you your body density, which can then be used to calculate your body fat percentage. ([4.570 ÷ body density] – 4.142) x 100 = body fat percentage. There’s plenty of info online. Most gyms would have a trainer that could help you calculate your body fat if you were really interested.
WTF – this is the problem – u don’t have this so u can’t ahve this – but u do have this sooooooo – whatever!!!So I was anaorexic in my teens now in my 30′s I barely maintain a “normal” BMI, I gte SOME periods, I throw up after a “normal” meal NOT a binge – how can anyone cateogrize this SHIT!!!
lol what?ur spelling is sooooooooo whatever…
hahaha I completely agree
Its fine you can still be diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa if yo have a period, I ws as well. My official diagnosis was Anorexia Nervosa F50.1 simply because I fitted all the other criteria. I remember being well pissed off because I was so sure they couldnt label me as anorexic because I still had my period ad somehow that was good because it meant I was actually fine and i wasnt really ill. It meant everyone else was wrong, turned out there is stupid number of labels and types of anorexia.
for someone with so many degrees she looks very young
you would be more likely diagnosed w/ EDNOSEating disorder not otherwise specifiedYou still have periods and are seen at a normal weight, but the eating patterns are messed upxXMIstyXx
That’s not true…I have a normal BMI right now and I do not get my period… off and on sometimes missing a year in between…
that’s why i said she would have EDNOS. There is a certain criteria you have to fit (I believe it’s 3 months w/o a period), along with other things to be categorized as anorexic.xXMistyXx
