Eating Disorders: It would be inherently unwise to try to diagnose what type of eating disorder you have with the available information and over the internet (without benefit of history and evaluation). However for a 104 pound woman to lose 8 pounds in a week is excessive. Please speak with your doctor and let your parents know.

Best to: Review this with your pediatrician and keep your parents in the loop. Eating disorder diagnoses aren't best made with such limited information. But your body mass index is quite low and places you at risk for future ailments. Please make sure you work with your doctors to address all your health needs.
