Question by Little Lara: Eating disorder..?
I asked this question in Adolescent but Ill ask it in here too..
Well I am a small girl..4 foot 10 inches..about 98 pounds.
I used to LOVE to eat. But now..I get hungry but when I go to try and eat..I almost puke. Its like as soon as I see food I’m not hungry anymore. I used to love pizza..I tried eating some tonight and almost puked after 1 bite. The only thing I eat right now is tacos because they are my favorite. But everything else just makes me sick. It has been this way for a few weeks now. A friend of mine said thats how she was and she found out she had an eating disorder..Do you think thats what it is? I haven’t told my parents yet..mostly because I didn’t want to scare her if I didn’t know for sure. If its not an eating disorder then what else can be wrong? Please let me know.
Im 15 by the way.
And its like when I swallow my food it comes back up and I get full after..I have a pageant coming up and I feel like I need to lose weight..could that be the reason?
I dont make myself puke..It just happens..and NO CHANCE at all of me being pregnant.
The thing is though..I was feeling this way before I knew I was going in my pageant. And its just getting worse. I cant stand to be around food anymore.
