I know absolutely know how you feel!. I started losing weight in December 2007 and I was deemed anorexic!. It's awful when you can't get the support of your family members!.
Tell them your weight goal, sometimes that can shut people up!. If they're going on about losing 15 or so pounds in a couple months it's normal because when first start losing weight the first few months is the fastest!. It's just how it is!. You're trying to get healthy so tell them that as well!. Show them this question in fact just to show them that them calling you anorexic bothers you!.
All in all good luck on your dieting :) Try and find some friends or so to help support you!. I have my boyfriend who's been there since day one and that keeps me going!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

15 pounds in 3 months is a great amount of weight to lose!. I could see why they would say that if you lost it all in the month of may, but you didn't!. Just tell them to back off and that you are trying to be healthy and don't want to end up like over half the population with heart disease and diabetes because you are obese!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Your Family is reacting in a way that everyone would react to such a rapid weight loss but they are missing the concept that everyones body is different and that everyones body reacts different to diets!. People's weight can change due to the metabolism, mood, and how their body stores fats and lipids!. So you should mention that your weight loss is perfectly healthy and normal!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
