Am I anorexic?

i've been very thin all my life, never had to watch what i eat. now after my 3rd baby, i weigh 110 lbs (my top non preg wt ever) and find myself really hating my mid section. i do leg lifts to work on my tummy, but i struggle with not eating b/c of not wanting to gain wt. i've always been accused of being anorexic but ate like a pig & didn't puke or anything, i was just naturally thin. i've become preoccupied with weight, though i'm hungry & think i should be eating, but it seems like if i eat even a pea, my tummy bloats. i don't make myself throw up. i do like to eat junk food, and when i eat at all, its usually junk. unhealthy i know, but my mom & dh have hinting that they think i'm starving myself. my dh says "i know what you're doing & i don't like it". implying that i'm starving. i don't have alot of time to eat anyway with 3 kids & working. i don't have alot of time to exercise to keep my wt under control, so i guess i just watch what i eat instead. its just hard for me to accept my tummy after having NO tummy until now. i've always gotten compliments on how quick i loose the wt after babies & fear that i'll be looked at as the typical mom who gets fat after having her babies. plus, i see like heidi klum after her baby, NOOOO stomach or extra wt & i want to look like that.
i'm tired alot & get nausius & headaches from not eating enough. am i anorexic?
thanks

Oops, there went my post into cyberspace -- sorry about that.


I'll start over.. I can't tell you for sure if you are anorexic.
