It's hard for me to eat lately
I'm 15(16 in Feb.), female, 5ft. 7inch. and weighed 125, but now is 119.
A little back story, when I was in my mothers womb, I was very active and caused a 'true knot' in my umbilical cord(we don't know for sure, but my dad said it was wrapped around my neck). I was born by C-section and the doctors said I was lucky to have survived. I was 6 pounds 4ounces and malnourished.
I have always been very skinny, to where people(including my older siblings) would ask my parents if they were feeding me. Even though I ate normal, if not more than I should. In middle school, I gained weight and while I was still thin, I was normal looking.
I continued normal weight, until a few months ago when I for some reason just didn't feel like eating as much. To which, I love to eat. It's been steadily getting worse.
I suddenly can't eat as much as I used to, or want to. I am hungry but either wont want to eat at all or/and start eating and after a few bites have to force myself to eat more(Even if it's my favorite food) and feel like if I eat one more bite, I'll vomit.
At first I wasn't very concerned until I realized I lost 6 pounds. Clothes are starting to be baggy on me and standing up you can see my hipbones clearly and if I lift my arms you can see and count my ribs.
My friends seriously think I'm anorexic, but I know I'm not because I want to gain weight and I love food. I want to be able to eat more...
Please anything you can tell me would help...

Talk to a doctor definitely. f you're depressed that could also be a problem (talk to a counselor)but my neighbors wife had the same problem. Eating was just something she didn't do, so by her request I bought weed for her and that helped. Just smoking it once helped her regain her eating.
This is an option, but try my other two approaches first. It's just an alternative if all else fails.

Have you been to a doctor lately to have this checked out? I wouldn't know if there are any underlying medical issues that could cause a person to lose desire to eat. But it is serious, your body is still developing and growing and will need nourishment to do so. Now I know that depression can cause a person to lose interest in eating. I also know that marijuana is reported to have ability to give people desire to eat. So talk to the parents and ask to see the family doctor, get checked out and see what he/she recommends.
