Why do all my friends and family think i'm on my way to getting an eatting disorder. So what if i don't eat a lot when i actually eat. Not everyone in this world eats every meal so why do they all think i'm becoming anorexic??

Well, it's hard to judge anything from what little you say.

How is your weight to you, and what do others think of it?

How much *do* you eat each day?

Why don't you eat all your meals?

Are you skipping meals? On purpose? Are you trying to lose weight? It is hard to tell by what little you have posted, like the other poster said. I started my eating disorder when I became obsessed with calorie counting and I kept a food diary. Then I started eating less and less. The less I ate, the better I felt. I felt "high" the morning after a day of eating very little. It was like an accomplishment. I wanting to keep doing it to keep that high going. Of course, that didn't happen, and when I failed, I would get very irritable.
Have you recently lost alot of weight? In a short amount of time?

((((((((((shoe25))))))))))) welcome to PC!

Some people can overreact to cues or things you may be doing. But do *you* think you may have a problem? Have you seen a doctor about this at all?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
