Not having a lot to base this on, I would say that your weight is a bit too low. Where your weight needs to be is genetically determined, and by eating well and not engaging in any other compensatory behaviors, your weight should settle where it needs to be. But if you are suffering with an eating disorder, I recommend that you seek the advice of a professional about this. The underlying emotional component is critical that you deal with it.
