I've never been anorexic but i did a HUGE project about it in health class. Like head_0ver_heels said, if you see yourself as fat, that may be a sign. There is a few common signs of anorexia, here they are.

1. you have thick hair on your arms (your body grows this to make up for the fat you've lost on your arms)
2. you find yourself hiding your food often, or throwing it away
3. you're period has stopped
4. you get bruises easily ( i guess your skin is weaker than normal, so just doing simple stuff, like leaning against a wall for instance can give you bruises)
5. you are CONSTANTLY worried about your weight, it's the only thing you think of
6. people are telling you you should gain some weight

i think your best bet is to talk to a trusted adult about this, because there is only so much we can do because we've never physically seen you.

Here is a test i found online, please take it.
