Having some strange eating issues... Is it a problem?!
Question: The last year or so (since I was kicked out of my house) I've been having a lot of weird eating issues. I've lost close to 40 pounds and still losing, although it's a much slower pace. Everytime I look at food, I either eat WAY TOO MUCH and then can't believe myself and sometimes I have myself throw it up but usually I don't let myself do that because I know it's unhealthy. The other option is I won't let myself eat anything, or everything looks disgusting and makes me feel sick.
Anyway, lately I've been lightheaded and nauseous all the time and my mom is saying she thinks it's because I don't eat enough. I don't see how this could be, since I FEEL like I eat way too much, but there was one point where I wasn't losing any more weight and I was also eating a lot more than usual and not throwing up, and I lost weight. My mom said she thought I'd gone into starvation mode and I'd needed the calories to get my metabolism right.

You sound like you are very smart and aware of what is happening to you. Yes--you do have a problem and it needs to be taken care of before you get seriously ill. Talk to your mom and go to the doctor and get some help with your eating issues and also with your own self image. Good luck and please do take care of this as soon as possible.
see a doctor/
well... i think you should go to a doctor... on the other hand.. you could have a "tape worm". The tape worm can come from multiple things. Most of which is bacteria... it is actually a worm... A tape worm locates itself in the stomache and eats any food that is put into your body. I sugesst that you go to the doctor and get it checked out soon!
