Underweight: Depends on your mental state? If you have been thinking that you are fat and have lost weight, having a persistent occupation with food, yet restricting your intake, then you may have anorexia nervosa, requiring comprehensive care. If you do not have the mental issues discussed, schedule an exam with your doc, you will need a thorough evaluation, including exam and blood work.
