okay here's the situation. my parents are going through a divorce. my dad has a good job, but my mom is only part time. to spite everyone, my dad refuses to buy groceries for the house and my mom cant really afford to either. so i have just been accustomed to rarely eating ( i usually only eat at work). now whenever i get hungry, i eat only a little of something and i feel really full.. like sick full. whats wrong with me? am i anorexic? im not skin and bones or anything, but i think im underweight ( im 5'2'' and 110 lbs.) ugh i think im broken :( help fix little old me

I wouldn't worry too much, your body is just used to not eating very much, you might be a little underweight, but you should just continue to eat small portions every day, at least three times a day. But I've heard that a rule of eating healthy is to eat 8 small portions a day. Like, small portions as in something about the size of your fist. That might sound like a lot, but if it's healthy meals and you don't just sit around all day then it's a good way to maintain a healthy
weight. [ selectopaque's advice column | Ask selectopaque A Question ]

You're not anorexic, at least it doesn't sound like it. From not eating a lot your body isn't used to it, so it can only take in so much, and the less you eat, the smaller portions your body can take in at a time, I'd say, try eating more, whenever you get the chance, but don't make yourself sick over it.
kevin1986 answered Tuesday July 27 2004, 3:07 am: Your metabolism is just slowed down by the fact that you're notb eating as much. You're not anorexic at all at 5'2 110. Your dad's kinda being an asshole,so talk to him about what you think may be a problem. Even if you're not anorexic and you're not,lie to him and say you are. He'll quit being a prick and start buying more food for you. Kind of underhanded,but he's not being a real nice guy either. [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]
