I've had an eating disorder for lets say longer than a year. (anorexia) I finally got over it this summer. I'm worried about school though and how my friends will react because i wasn't eating lunch all last year. Will they make a big deal out of it and will i end up starting it ALL OVER AGAIN????? I RATE HIGH
Teza answered Tuesday August 2 2005, 6:52 pm: If they didnt know about it then I dont think they would make it as a big deal. Even tho they might say something about it. Just tell them that you have to eat.. I dont think they would argue about it. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

ElmosBrightStar answered Sunday July 31 2005, 10:47 pm: If they know about it, they won't. They probably wouldn't anyways. They might say something to the effect of, "You're eating!", but they might just be surprised. Don't worry though, I think it will all be fine. You won't start all over again if you had good rehab. I hope it all works out. [ ElmosBrightStar's advice column | Ask ElmosBrightStar A Question ]

bodacious_brunette51o answered Saturday July 30 2005, 11:57 pm: im glad that you got over anorexia. you should tell your friends about the high risks of you becoming anorexic again and you should ask them to stop making a big deal. if they dont listen to youm you should find better friends that respect your wishes because apparently they arent your real friends. no offense. I hope i helped.
M3GHANBUCHERvllybll answered Saturday July 30 2005, 11:31 pm: it shouldn't matter if they ask just say that your hungry now. like your going through a growth spurt. also just start out bringing it once a week then twice then three times... etc. to get used to it.. hope i helped
Christineadvice4you answered Saturday July 30 2005, 9:32 pm: I hope this helped. I can't say firsthand that I know how you feel but I'll do my best!
I used to not eat lunch at school just for no reason. I'm naturally skinny and people used to always call me anorexic [my friends] but they were always kidding!
Now, they're your friends and they should back you up any which way you decide to flow, you know what I'm saying? They shouldn't treat you like your uncool or a loser just because you had an eating disorder. People learn over time to forget the past and try to make way for the future. But, if they start to not talk to you or something then don't be friends with them because it's not worth the pain. Last, sweetie, if you believe that you've completely stopped and trust that you can prevent this from happening again... with the encouragement of a friends and family you won't start again! I believe in you!
twistedsister17 answered Saturday July 30 2005, 9:13 pm: um, screw your friends. If they started it in the first place, then their not your friends. Wow, I would dump some food on their heads. jerks. Don't worry about what other people think of you. It's your life, not theirs. [ twistedsister17's advice column | Ask twistedsister17 A Question ]
ncblondie answered Saturday July 30 2005, 8:54 pm: Chances are they won't even notice. If they do and say something, either tell them about your eating disorder or try a little half truth "I was dieting last year but now I'm not." [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]
ShYbl0nD3 answered Saturday July 30 2005, 8:54 pm: one thing you have to do is not worry about what other people think. But i mean yea they might notice but they'd probably be glad that your actually eating. So don't pay too much attention if they take it in a bad way.

Razhie answered Saturday July 30 2005, 8:47 pm: Tell them not to make a big deal of it. And yell at anyone who does, loudly. "I am having lunch and it is none of your buisness!"
If your friends care about you, tell them you rather not make a big deal of it and they wont. If you need to yell at them or even eat your lunch somewhere else to protect your health, do it. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
karenR answered Saturday July 30 2005, 8:43 pm: They probably won't make a big deal of it. You have probably seen a doctor concerning your eating disorder. If you have then rely on that help again if you need to. Don't let what others think rule your life. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
