Anon - It sounds like you're very concerned about this, but also trying to find a way to not have your condition defined as anorexia.
Here is the definition of anorexia:
Anorexia is an eating disorder . It occurs when a person's obsession with diet and exercise leads to extreme weight loss. The disorder is considered if a person refuses to maintain a body weight at or above 85% of their ideal body weight. It can be fatal.
They key word is obsession. You can be anorexic and be overweight - until you lose so much weight you no longer are overweight.
Getting to the point where you aren't eating nutritious meals and are losing a large amount of weight in a short time isn't good for your health, no matter what the cause. Why are you scared to seek help? You need to have your ulcer and gall bladder issues monitored, and get help from a qualified medical professional to understand why you aren't eating properly. You need to get help to deal with this as soon as possible! If you need help to find a doctor let us know.
Your health is at risk if you do nothing, and it's really important that you take this seriously and attend to it right away. Will you do so?
