That number is beyond dangerous for your body type. If you find anyone here who will "cheer you on" during this starvation campaign, then health is beyond your desires. I can't diagnose you with anorexia, but it sounds as if you have starvation / restricting tendencies. Which, yes, is an eating disorder.You don't have to fit a certain number or fit into a certain stereotype of this disorder to have it. Counting calories, not eating, starving, over exercising and looking at skeletal optimal weights is not natural for a human mind to strive for. You're starting a game of Russian Roulette...be prepared to live a life of misery, anxiety, sickness, and depression if you choose to continue.

No one will judge you, but you're looking for a pro-ed support system. This is not the place to ask for help in reaching a "weight loss goal."

I would agree with ribs.
It sounds like you could be heading for a dangerous place.
We all want to support you here.

You can be any size to have anorexia, or any eating disorder in fact. But, I will admit, every anorexic I have meet was very thin. But thats beside the point. My point is, you are under weight for your body type. As for your weight goal, all I can say is maybe 95 pounds is alittle to thin. But who am I to say, I have an ED, so I cannot teel you off because I'm doing the same thing. I am not sure what else to say.

Take care of yourself
please

trust me. It's not worth it. I've been there and done that and it was horrible. I got under 100 pounds and I was skin and bones. I almost passed out on a daily basis. I felt horrible all the time. I was cold all the time and my hair was falling out. It's not attractive. No guys were interested in me because i looked ill. You have to look at food as energy to get you through life. Live your life and be happy and accept yourself. Anorexia is so unhealthy. It can hurt you body in so many ways( it can even lead to death). If you are still growing don't count to grow anymore then. I lost a couple inches of height due to this. If you want to loose weight do it the healthy way and take your time. Trust me a healthy body is a beautiful one.

Agree 100% with Sophia2218.. "A healthy body is a beautiful body"...
Have you told your therapist your weight goal.. if so, how did she react.. I hope she told/tells you that this is very dangerous and a very low weight. Please take care of yourself. Please dont put all your energy into loosing weight. you will miss out on life doing so.
Best of luck.

You are too thin for your height......and in the next DSM they are planning on getting rid of the weight requirement to meet the criteria for ana.....they are also planning to get rid of the requirement for one to stop having a period.....there are plenty of people who are ana but not skin and bones and there are people who definitely have all the characteristics of ana but still get their periods

also while most people in recovery are at least somewhat ambivalent about getting better (the ED is serving a purpose after all, no matter how messed up that purpose is), this is definitely not the place to come to ask for help getting even sicker

someone who is truly a friend would not want you to get sicker - ana is hell and it is life threatening - hardly something a friend should be encouraging

I know that 93 is a very small number and could be dangerous, but watching the numbers slowly go down on the scale gives me a short lived high. I don't understand it. I mentioned to my therapist what my goal was and she didn't say anything to the regards that it was dangerous for me. I don't know if I want to get better. Part of me wants to die from this. I feel so alone in this world.

Keep talking to your therapist and work out why you want to die from this. Something inside is torturing you and you are taking it out on your poor body. That will resolve absolutely nothing. It will give you a life of misery. Please get all the professional help you can. The sooner the better. And don't wait until you are ready or wanting to recover - this time will never come. It's something you just have to do even if you don't want to.
