Okay. I like this boy his name is Eric, and he doesn't like the fact that I've gone on a diet. I assure you.. It's a healthy diet I eat, exersize and not once has my finger been remotly close to my mouth for the purpose of vomitting. I have a condition, Acanthosis Nigricans(thinking I spelled it correctly..) which is a discoloration to the neck. Well if I keep doing what Im doing which was eating all the time, never exersizing, Im sure to get Diabetes. Which it me is a death sentance because Im Insulin Resistant. I would die. I dont want to tell him because I dont want to worry him but im getting tired of him saying I should eat something when I ate likea halfn hour ago. Im 14 im not saposed to eat all the time and he doesnt understand.
I dont want him to worry but I dont want him to accuse me of not eating when I do it right infront of him.
How do I explain things to him without sending him into panic?

But just out of curiousity what kind of food are you eating? is it well balanced healthy diet? just make sure you have your five a day fruits and veg (you will be surprised how each fruit and veg contains own vitamins which can help protect against so many diseases), and they help give your face a natural healthy looking glow, and makesure you keep up your water in take.
But talk to your friend, he seems like he wants to be there for you..and its a good sign. [ RATZY's advice column | Ask RATZY A Question ]
advicegivergirl answered Monday July 23 2007, 11:00 am: well first of all you should assure him that your diet is not for the purpose of wanting to lose weight. and just say that you have to do this because of a health condition, nothing more, he should then get the hint and back off and stop bothering you about it. after all its not his body its yours.

therapistcarolyna answered Monday July 23 2007, 10:22 am: if he's your friend he will understand.
just come out and say it.
dont starve your self its actually very healthy to eat every four or five hours, like a small something, and dont eat after 8!
he should understand if he's really your friend tell him you dont have an eating disorder and that your going to be perfectly fine.
just talk thats the best way to clear things up!
hope i helped

khadiya answered Monday July 23 2007, 7:19 am: Well the best thing to do is to tell him about your condition. He is worrying anyway right? Well he is going to continue to worry if you dont let him know what the deal is with you.
In the future he could get mad because you keep this from him. [ khadiya's advice column | Ask khadiya A Question ]
