Hi I am a little unsure about this forum. Not sure what to expect. I found this sight because I wanted to know if anyone here can understand me. My doctor "claims" that I am suffering from anorexia. I don't feel like I am, I just want to look good and shed some pounds. I am frightened to get on meds. to stimulate my appetite because I might not have control over the portions and number of meals I am consuming. I hate that everytime I am around family member they are always constantly shoving food in my face! I think that is so rude!! My family always lectures me and they seem to think that I can just flip a switch and eat everything in sight. This has just spiraled into a huge ordeal and it's not. Why don't my family understand that when I am hungry I will eat. How would they like it if I was constantly asking them to eat, it would annoy them like it annoys me. Now so they stop HOUNDING me I just tell them " oh I just ate before I got here", then they stop. I don't know what to do. Does anyone feel the way I do, or has anyone had similar experiences?
