If I were to weigh 121 lbs I would have to fast certain days and eat very little. I am not willing to do that because being a women I would lose my periods and it could cause infertility. I have been that weight and didn't have periods for 2 whole years.
My grandmother has anorexia nervosa and I'm the only person who knows

According to the BMI you are not overweight at 5’4 until you weigh 146. So yeah she is overweight but she wouldn’t be if she was 121 pounds.
