Question: Eating disorder need help?
i have had this problem for as long as i can remember my parents have tried to bribe me or forced me into eating things like apples but it never works i just vomit the food out of my mouth the second i put it in also no matter how many times i tell myself the food tastes good i just vomit it back up again
i really need help because the eating disorder is really starting to impact my life e.g i am going to
Melbourne for a week with school for Italian but they only eat Italian food and i dont eat anything Italian except pizza with cheese also nobody at school knows about this problem i have kept it secret

hmm well there is a show called 'freaky eaters' about people with your problem and they all manage to get over it, i think. maybe watch the show and see if you can use the techniques they use? or maybe try therapy. definitely talk to your parents if you're concerned, don't feel bad about it.
If you really want to change then you will, why not cut down the amount you eat. The reason you vomit up the food is because you are a drama queen.
A healthy diet consists of: 5 serves of vegetables, daily, including a leafy green one, such as broccoli, spinach, cabbage, kale, or silverbeet (swiss chard), and a yellow/orange one, like yams, (sweet potato) carrots, or pumpkin/squash. One of the other serves should be legumes, such as beans, peas, or lentils. A serve is 2 heaped tablespoonsful, or half a cup (125 ml). Also, at least 2, to a maximum of 5 serves of fruit: one should be orange, or grapefruit, for the NATURAL vitamin C, and bananas are high in potassium.
In addition, your body needs at least 2 teaspoonsful of oil. Olive oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or macadamia oil, are the healthiest, but you can get some in the form of Omega 3 fish oil (certified free of mercury); it is best if consumed with an antioxidant, such as an orange, or grapefruit, or their FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice. If vitamin E is added, it should be certified as being 100% from natural sources, or it may be synthetic: avoid it.. Also a serve of protein: meat, fish, poultry, or eggs. For calcium, some yog(h)urt, and/or cheese and/or milk, or tinned sardines, with bones. To the above, add a certain amount of wholegrain products, such as brown rice, seed and nutloaf, or sourdough rye bread, according to your body's energy needs.

There are many ways of preparing nutritious foods and making them delicious as well. Learn how to cook, and Google recipes, and/or read cookery books. In the meantime take a high quality, preferably natural vitamin and mineral supplement daily.
I have a weblink that I believe may well provide further help, (about the natural vitamin and mineral supplement from NZ that I use) but if I include it here, this answer may be removed by Y!A for promoting a website with no direct relevance to the actual question asked, so email me if interested.
