um...growing a whole 7 inches is probably never gonna happen for you in this lifetime. And it's good to know that you aren't "directly" causing this but I think it's unhealthy to say the least....
Upon entering, I answered your question with a, "I hope not!"
And you are. :(
Good luck, Hon. I know you don't wanna hear it, but millions of girls have this problem and you can get through it if you're strong. A really, REALLY small helping of spaghetti for dinner is not good at all! :*(

you might be or it could just be a medical problem you need to get help 85lbs is not healthy
Normally girls do not admit that they are anorexic. Don't go on a diet. Just make sure you eat three healthy meals a day. Which include carbs, vitamins etc. And keep active. Your still 14 so your still growing and your body will still be changing. If you choose to stop eating and skipping meals there are lot of bad consequences. I have a friend who is anorexic. Everytime i look at her she makes me feel sick. She is a very nice person but just mad.
I dont think you have a eating disorder if you arent doing anything to yourself, possibly see a doctor? im not really sure.
i dont think you can make yourself grow, just be patient.
you will probably go through a growth spurt soon.
good luck. (:
theres a difference between pretty skinny and anerexic skinny...by not eating your whole body begins to look like sh*t before your eyes. And you dont even realize it. the reason your not feeling hungry is because sub consiously your telling yourself your going to get fat if you eat too much. This is not the case and it really breaks my heart to see someone go down such an emotionally shattering path that you are about to embark on.I really feel bad that you have to go though that. Your additude sounds like every single anerexic girl out there...the way you talk about being a skinny model but the truth is...men dont even like models that starve themselves...they think there gross. They like the victoria secret models because they dont starve themselves and most of them have curves and meat on their bones.
First of all, an eating disorder is not a number on the scale, it is a mental illness. So, if the reason you're not eating as much as usual is just because you're not hungry, then you are not anorexic. Anorexia is when you severely restrict your food intake in an unhealthy way in order to lose weight. People who suffer from anorexia generally feel that their weight is the one thing that they have control over.
You may want to visit your doctor though, as you are extremely underweight for your height. There are a number of things that can cause a decrease in appetite or weight loss such as medications, thyroid conditions, etc.
As for you second question, your height is all based on genetics. If your parents/siblings are tall, then you have a good chance of being tall as well. Drinking milk and taking vitamins is certainly healthy, and will promote strong bones, but it won`t make you any taller. Sorry.
