If you're worried then stop starving yourself! I mean just don't make a habit of it & you'll be fine. I think 92 is a little bit skinny but not overly sick kind of skinny. I think at 13 I weighed like 115? & I was 5'5". Everyone is different. But yeah, if you're worried, then maybe you should be? idk.

it really isn't healthy, and everyone is going to get on you about that, and people will know you as the anorexic person.
people used to think i was anorexic in middle school because of my thin figure.. but you should see how much i eat XD They got over it though, i didn't care about them.
plus, it's very unhealthy and if you do it enough you can pass out. Your robbing your body of the vitamins it HAS to gain every day in order to be a healthy body. I'm sure people have told you this before, though.
"Most of the side effects result from eating far less food than the body needs to maintain itself. The more serious consequences of malnutrition and weight loss include loss of normal menstrual cycles, lower levels of estrogen and weakened bones, and loss of brain tissue and muscle, including the heart muscle. Other side effects include decreased energy, low blood pressure, feeling dizzy and faint, feeling cold much of the time, constipation, decreased ability to concentrate urine resulting in more frequent urination, growth of fine hair on the arms and trunk, fatigue, lack of interest in things including sex, and depression. If the individual also vomits or uses laxatives or diuretics (water pills) in an attempt to control weight, severe disturbances in electrolytes (salt and minerals in the blood) can lead to dangerously abnormal heart rhythms." (http://www.teengrowth.com/index.cfm?action=info_advice&ID_Advice=5707)
Anorexia is very serious, don't take it lightly. You can be hospitalized because of it.

Even people who aren't full-on anorectics can have serious side effects.
I'm an anorectic bulemic ... I binge eat then fast for two weeks or longer. I'm 25 and been hospitalized twice for heart attacks. The second time I woke up on the floor next to my 6-month-old daughter when we were home alone. I can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't woken up and there was no one there to take care of her.
Even if it doesn't seem like much now to go a day or two without eating, you can quickly spiral out of control. I've been fighting this 15 years now. It's worth trying to change your habits to something healthier.

Personally, with my work, I usually eat once a day and a midnight snacking((usually a cup of noodles and candy)). I personalyl enver at much, but what I do is close to anarexia(sp?) and it already kills me. Think about what you do compared to me, it is very unhealthy for anyone to do it. You SHOULD eat at least 2 healthy meals a day, 3 is even better.
