i'm a female and i just turned 14. i'm 5'3" and i weight 80 pounds right now. a bit ago i went on meds for adhd innatentive. since then i dropped 5 pounds so now i am 80. (i was 85). i've always been tiny. my eating habbits were fine before meds, i would eat only slightly smaller portions than my friends would, just because i am smaller. now that i am on meds i am never hungry, there for i dont eat as often or as much. i was warned this would happen if i go on meds. i need meds to function well at school though. i've been told to force myself to eat, but i just can't. i'm satisfied. not hungry, not full but satisfied. its a combination i assume-me forgetting to eat lunch and me not finishing because food just is boring now. i dont like it. i am so self concious of my body because i'm so bony. i dont know what to do. i want to be like at least 95 pounds. i'm tired of being picked on.
