I can't stop losing wieght, it's an addiction right about now. In the past three day's I've lost 10 pounds, I haven't eaten one ounce of food and even if I did, I couldn't keep it down. I'm 5'8 and I wiegh 115 pounds, I want to lose more, I want to wiegh less, I think I'm fat and I can't eat anything. My boyfriend is noticing and my parents won't say anything about it. Would this be considered anorexia?

I did the same thing as you, I would go for 4 or 5 days eating very little or not at all and finally after months of starvation, I had to get help.
Please, please, please talk to someone. Through my own counselling, I realized that I didn't know how to manage all the chaos in my life so I took control of what and how much I ate instead. I became very afraid of foods that would make me fat <which was all types of foods> and I finally I got help because I wasn't going to survive much longer the way I was going.
Please find someone who you trust and listens to you and through their support, get help.

If you are at the beginning of this, if these feelings of needing to lose weight are all new to you, then please get help and talk to someone before you get yourself deeper into it all.
If you have read other posts on this, then you will realise that anorexia makes you completely miserable and there is no pleasure. No gains. Before you know it, you will feel trapped, and will start to withdraw, and lose friends etc.
Please get help straight away, do not be afraid, everyone in the healthcare profession has heard it before, and will not make you feel embarrassed or ashamed. They will actually help you to regain a sense of pleasure and confidence in life and in yourself.
If you choose a good therapist for example you will never regret it.
Good luck and have courage.
