to the original poster and others interested...

yes a person can be anorexic without the counting calories or other typical symptoms....

in general the term .....Anorexic.....means a person is a certain percentage under their medical doctors weight charts for that persons height....

going to use hypothetically and widely exaggerated/made up height and weight here to use as an example because actual / real numbers are not allowed in this forum....

here in NY it would look like this....

if a person is 20 feet tall and the medical doctors weight chart says they are supposed to be 8 hundred pounds but their weight is 600 pounds they would be considered anorexic because that person is one quarter percentage under the medical acceptable weight.

(Again this is not a real situation, I do not know anyone that is 20 ft tall and there is no actual/real weight charting for such a situation, actual weight/height charts only go up to 6-8 ft tall.)

it works the other way too here in NY for the term obese the person has to be so much percentage over the medically accepted weight charting for their height....

to find out actual/real numbers of what is considered anorexic for you, contact your own treatment providers..
