If you loose your appetite BECAUSE of how you look, then your boyfriend is somewhat right, you have an eating disorder. People's appetites should not be affected by what they see in the mirror.
It's okay to just not feel hungry. As a teenage girl you probably do eat less then a teenage guy, but it's not okay to not be hungry because you are pre-occupied with your weight or appearance.
Next time you decide you aren't hungry, pay attention to a few things: Are you thinking about your weight or appearance? Are you feeling faint or tired and would benefit from some food? Do you honestly think that eating something would make you feel better, more awake or make your day run smoother?
Don't let yourself make excuses like "There is nothing I want here" or "I don't have enough time to eat." Seriously consider what it is that is preventing you from eating.
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you are having unhealthy thoughts about eating.

Yes, if you are not eating because you dont like the way you look then you have a disorder. Dont freak out you just need to realize not eating isnt going to make you lose weight. You'll actually gain weight which I know doesnt make sense but it's true. No one is happy with the way they look but if you want to change how you look then try excersising. Please be smart and good luck!
