Answers: i try to tell her im not but she calls the school and tells them to watch me and its really embarrassing
Im in the same boat, my mom hasnt gone that far but my parents have threatened to take me to a hospital. Its so stupid! If i was in your situation i would tell her that having the school watch you isnt going to help, it may even make you want to eat less. Tell her that if she cares she can watch you while your at home, but not in school.
good luck
the thing about being anorexic, is that you may have NO idea that it's a problem, and those around you can tell. Take your mom seriously, and really make sure that you are eating, she prolly sees you as too skinny, and may be right.
How old are you? How tall? What do you weigh? How much do you eat?? If you don't like the questions, you have a problem.
A teen that is 5'5" should weigh about 115-125 pounds.
Be sure to exersise , if you feed only to fule , then push the peddel down a little , men are not atracted to the bone , and if you don't work it ,,it goes away ,,
Eat a lot when you are in front of her. At dinner, you should all yo ur food that she gives you, maybe even more, and for breakfast as well. For lunch have a good meal as well. Maybe it's cos yoyu are really skinny, and maybe you are naturally like that, so not matter how much food you eat, you never really gain wait because you have a fast metabolism, so your food digests quickly. Just convice her you are eating enough. She won't believe you unless you show her.
I also agree with the first person. Some people don't realise they have an eating problem, but I'm sure you don't.
If you are not anorexic then you should have nothing to worry about. I understand that it is embarrassing but if you prove to her that you are not then she will leave you alone. Conforming to society is very important in high school and being rail skinny is what some teens try to acheive. Exercise and eat healthy and prove to her that you are not anorexic. A lot of anorexics are in denial so if you are I wouldn't tell her....YOU have to want to change and no one else is going to force you to eat if you really don't want to.
Do you know what anorexic means? I don't think so, neither does mom......She is thinking you are bulimic (vomiting after you eat to stay skinny or to lose weight)
Anorexic means "no appetite". You just eat enough to keep a bird alive and you have no appetite for more.
A doctor needs to address this to find out why you are not hungry. If you are afraid of gaining weight, you can talk yourself into not being hungry and eating very little.
Often times there are such pressures put on young ladies to be thin, or to stay thin, that they "will" themselves into no appetite. This is a phychiatric problem of the worst kind and needs addressed before it is too late.
An anorexic person views themselves as fat even if someone points out their skin and bones. They will actually stretch out their skin and say, "see?.....see?......I'm fat!" I personally watched a young woman die. She was anorexic to the point of starving herself to death, she weighed about 68 pounds when she died (she was about 5'5") and she kept refusing food saying she wasn't hungry (and she physically wasn't) because she did not want herself to get "fatter". It was so sad.
Now then. You should weigh in your weight range for your height. Your doctor has a chart. If you are under weight, then you need to drink supplements that are high caloric and gain your weight into the range indicated, learn healthy eating habits, and get psychiatric help if needed.
The school and your mom will watch you as it is necessary. You need to be proud your mom loves you so much. Meanwhile, if you are that skinny that mom is worried, you need to call the MD yourself and make the appointment.
Good luck
I am an RN
I wish I had more detail to help you. Ask your mom why she thinks your anorexic. Then think
about it, and ask yourself, am I? Does she see something I don't. I agree she shouldn't
go to school. Maybe what is best for both of you, is to talk with a counselor. Maybe she is over reacting, or do you think you could be in denial? Both of you need to talk with a professional, one who will not take sides.
