doodle, if you are underweight, which technically you are, and still want to lose weight, that is a very big danger sign for anorexia. Whether you are "anorexic looking" or not doesn't matter. It's how feel about yourself and your body that is the issue. And if your thought patterns are such that you think 98 pounds is too much, then it's something you need to deal with before you get to the point where you have serious health problems.

I do not have anorexia, but I do struggle with a different ED, which I denied for years and years. And I hate thinking of all of the time I wasted on those distorted ED thoughts before I was able to admit the problem.

I hope you can give what your doctors are saying some serious thought. It sounds like they might have reason to be concerned for you.

*hugs*
