What happens when you only eat one meal a day?!


Question: What happens when you only eat one meal a day!?
It's the summer and so I don't go to school or any other place where I would actively get fed!. My mother goes to work and when she gets home she doesn't want to be bothered cooking or just going to a restaurant to get something to eat!. During the school year I usually get breakfast and lunch from school, so I'm okay!. My mom will always go buy beer for her boyfriend but if I ask her to get me something to eat from the store, it's to much trouble!. She refuses to give me money, and I tried to find a job but no place will hire me because I have no experience(even McDonald's)!. I know people are going to think this is fake, but it's not!. I am lucky to get one sandwich a day and there is never any food in the house!. Please, what do I do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You don't mention having problems at home other than not eating, not that it's minor but you might not feel that is enough to call the authorities!. So here's another suggestion for you to look into!. I don't know what state you are in, but most states continue to have breakfast and lunch during the summer that is open (at least in Texas) to anyone 18 years of age or below!.

You mentioned you could not get a job so I take it you are at least 16 yrs!. old!., so don't give up filling out applications!. Also, once school starts talk to one of your teacher's or counselor and I am sure they will be more than happy to help out and guide you in the direction you need to go!.

Speaking out is your first step, and you've done that here!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all, if it turns out to start being a problem, go and join a camp!. Or, learn to cook!. If you don't have any money and don't have a feeling ur cooking will turn out edible, then just sell things like a fund raiser!. If you live in a busy area, set up a stand (like san francisco if you've been there) and sell a series of things!. From cookies to hand-made jewlery!. I feel sorry for you and a hope this could help! Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You sound for real!. I used to have a boyfriend who's dad gambled away all the family money when he was a kid and he grew up hungry!. If you are not 18 and live in the US your parents are responsible for feeding you!. I would first try talking to your mother and tell her that you need food!. If that doesn't work, you could call child protective services!. Or you could call 911!. I guarantee the cops will show up and give your mom a serious talk!. As for work, have you tried babysitting!? Many people need a babysitter or even someone to walk their dogs!. You could put an ad in the paper or local convenience store!. Good luck, AshleyWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'd plead with your mother to buy fruits and vegetables that you like!. Raw nuts and seeds!. Milk and cereal (like Cheerios)!.

If she refuses then you may seriously consider calling Child Protective Services!. It is possible you could be better off elsewhere, like with a grand parent or father, aunt or uncle!.

I wish you the best!.

Eating once a day damages your metabolism and will likely lead to weight gain as it continues!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are free lunch programs in the park!.!.!.!. I"m assuming you're in the US!. It's a federally funded feeding program and any child under 18 is welcome!. You could call the welfare dept!. and ask where they're feeding in your area!.

You're being neglected Do you belong to a church group!? Do you have friends!? Do you have any relatives!? Could you talk to a relative!? If your're part of a church group, tell your pastor that you're not eating!. If not, have you thought about calling the children's protective services in your county!? It's a drastic step, but your mother is nuts if she thinks you can go without food!. You also could talk to a minister!. I think that any sensible adult would help you!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
