well lately i've been hangin out with my boyfriend from the time my mom gets home untill like 1130-12ish becuz we cant during the day even tho he lives across the street but his mom wont let him hang out with me unless my moms home and shes home. but anyways so we hang out liek all night like that but sometimes during the day. well lately i just dont eat becuz im hanging with him and stuff, i liek just dont really think about coming in to eat dinner. i think im fat but that has nuthing to do with it, it's the fact that i just forget to come eat dinner or whatever. well last night my mom was makin dinner and shes liek tonite you are eating and no question about it, then my boyfriend added in and said i had to too. well later we were on the trampoline and he said he'd go home if i didnt eat, and i said i wasnt hungry, he called me anarexic. so i ate a chicken patty and he made me eat it all or he'd go home. is something wrong with me?..could i have an eating disorder or sumthing??..i dont know what to think but please help me
xxblue0eyesxx answered Sunday July 17 2005, 11:46 pm: I dont think there is anything wrong with you. If youre too busy to eat and dont get hungry, then theres no issue. Eating when youre not hungry can lead to unwanted weight gaining. Your boyfriend probably chimed in and agreed with your mother because he wants to be more accepted by her. He may already be, but boyfriends will do that. I would say there is more of a problem with him than you. He should be supportive of you no matter what and never acuse you of having an eating disorder. But no, there is nothing wrong with you. The only advice I have is to talk to your boyfriend about him not being supportive of your decisions. Just tell him that you havent noticed your eating habits changing, and that you would never intentionally pass up food. If youre not hungry, then you wont want to eat. Im sorry about that, and I hope I helped. Good luck!
vickiooos answered Sunday July 17 2005, 11:33 pm: that's not really supportive of your boyfriend to say that. i haven't eaten alot in the past like 3 days but it's just because of my new sleeping schedule. body's do a crapload of weird stuff. maybe it's just adjusting to something new. just because your appetite has decreased doesn't mean you're going anorexic or something like that.

cheddar answered Sunday July 17 2005, 5:21 am: if you don't try to skip meals and lie about eating; then you don't have an eating disorder. your metabolism and things like that play a major role in this. if you're not hungry, you're not hungry. your boyfriend shouldn't pressure you to eat by saying he'll go home. you are not anorexic if you aren't purposely trying to not eat.

AlyssaMarie answered Friday July 15 2005, 4:01 pm: If you're not intentionally not eating then you most likely don't have an eat disorder. But skipping meals if very unhealthy for you, make it part of your schedule for the both of you to take time and eat something. It's a good thing that your family and boyfriend are concerned about you. [ AlyssaMarie's advice column | Ask AlyssaMarie A Question ]
