Do I have an eating disorder?!


Question: Do I have an eating disorder?
I wake up everyday at 6:00, Sometimes 6:30
and have to rush to get ready for school (Begins at 7:30, Bus comes at 7:00)
I spend my time straightening my hair, putting on makeup, etc
So I have no time to eat breakfast.

For school, I don't eat lunch.
I just sit at the lunch table with my friends and watch them eat
(I can't eat when people are watching me, It scares me because I think they're laughing and judging me)

When I get home at 2:49, I head straight to the kitchen and eat all I can find,
Usually granola bars, pizza bagels, chips, soda, Farmrich, or just really any snack.

I sometimes skip dinner if what my mom made isnt what I like.

I don't gain weight easily, I'm 102 lbs (14)

Answers:

Though it may not be a disorder yet, you need to be conscious of what you are doing. Essentially, you are starving yourself. I know it is easy to feel worried about eating in front of others, but your first priority is to yourself. If you keep skipping meals you are going to starve yourself of the basic nutrition you need to live. Make time through out the day to have a filling snack that will give you energy, like yogurt of a half sandwich, muffin, etc. Even if it isn't a whole meal it will be enough to sustain you until the next snack. At school, if you have to, eat in class when people are working and not looking at your or if you truly feel pressured just ask the teacher for a pass to the bathroom and eat on the way there instead. Try to eat your regular meals, but if that is too much at least make sure you are at least eating enough to sustain you through the day. You could be on the bring to a much more serious disorder, if you don't reform some of your habits now.



No. I don't thin so at all.
You have to rush so you don't eat. Understandable
You don't like to eat in front of people. Understandable. We all have fears.
When you get home your hungry from a day of not eating. Understandable.
Dont eat food you dont like... hmmm now i think you can answer that one on your own.
But seriously... nothings wrong.
