Well the saying goes, "Do you live to eat, or eat to live?"\nIf it makes you ill to think about food best to see a doctor to be on the safe side. Many other problems can arise because of a lack of nourishment; like heart failure, kidneys go into shock, the black eyes are a sign of anemia.

i do not believe that you get eating orders on purpose... i think in my situation it was stress from my lifestye..i had no way out or control over my life.. my husband would alway look at these other women with good figures.. i just started exercising chronically then i started starving myself and when i ate it felt like my stomach was to big so i learned to throw it back up..i really do not think i do what an eating disorder was.. it was a mind thing.. my son came home from school and he worked in the counselors office and he told me about eating disorders...i went to a eating disorder center but it did not really help.. i had to change my whole lifestyle and get out of a abusive marriage and i now to dot have a eating disorder.. i had it so bad i was near death many times.. they put something into my throat that was green and i really felt sick then cause they made me feel full and i needed to throw up... so i signed out of there.. i had it for years but now i do not have it at all. i can eat foods now but i am also free to go places and get exercise.. no fighting, no physical abuse...so try figuring out why you feel like you have the compulsion to eat to much or starve yourself...but i do still want to watch my weight.. i do not have a flat belly now... i have a real bad back and damage from physical abuse..but now i just try to watch my calories and walk all i can.. but i think in my own opinion it had something to do with the atmosphere i was living in..seeing all these thin women and models men look at and want does not help a person much either...

It's hard to put together your statement that you are a little chubby with your friends claim that you are anorexic. If you are really the right weight for your body type and you are not losing weight, anorexia seems an unlikely diagnosis. However, I am troubled by your statement that "the minute I eat I feel bloated and fat." If you are eating healthy foods, you should not be feeling that way every time you eat. So your friends may be onto something. Many anorexics keep insisting they are overweight even when they are dying of starvation. Best solution is to go to a medical professional to verify that you are indeed at the right weight and that you are eating a reasonable diet for someone of your age and build.

Check this height/weight chart. This is a guideline... keep in mind that there are always exceptions, but if you find that you are out of the range you may want to consider that you might be underweight.\n\nAlso ask yourself...  Do you hate to eat? Do you eat ice cream? Potato chips? Pizza? Anorexia is more than just being skinny. It is a way that people relate to food and eating. If you eat when you are hungry and don't worry about it, I would say you are just naturally skinny.\n\nWhen you start refusing to eat certain foods because they have too much fat, when you look at yourself in the mirror and think you look fat all the time, when you obsess about your figure... those are danger signs. If you don't really think about what you are eating, and don't ignore your hunger, you are probably just skinny.\n\nIts ok to be skinny unless you get there through unhealthy means.\n\nAnorexia - losing weight through not eating, \nand\nBulemia - throwing up after you eat\nare both unhealthy. If you think you have one of these tell your doctor. These can have severe consequences including interefering with your ability to have children later.

you didn't say which type of disorder, not eating food or eating too much, so i will assume you mean not eating.\nFirstly you will make any excuse not to eat, you will start lying about how much you eat, you will hide food to make people think you have eaten well, you may also try different ways of getting rid of the small amount of food you have eaten, by making yourself sick or taking laxatives. You will look in the mirror and think you are fat when you are probably in reality very thin.\nIf not treated by professional help then your body becomes run down through lack of nutrients, you get lethargic and eventually develop a fear of food, you shake and break out in a sweat when you see large amounts in front of you. You will also make excuses not to attend functions that serve food.... parties, family get togethers etc.\nIf you see all the above in you, or even some of the above then please talk to your Doctor, its more common than you think, and they can offer you proper help.

yeah, it's your body using it's energy to digest the food instead of keeping you at a steady temperature.  espeically happens after i eat a lot.

Look, different people are going to be different sizes.  I'd tell you the same thing that I tell folks who are (or think they are)overweight, but are still healthy.  Trust your body and your appetite.\n\nWork with your mind to clear away the negativity about food, and listen to your body.  It knows what it needs instinctively.  If you're not a big eater, just don't worry about it.  Your body is probably just telling you that it's balanced for your activity level, and that you shouldn't force yourself to eat more than you need.\n\nSome people are more vulnerable to things like diabetes and heart disease than average.  So maybe your body is telling you that at this stage of your life, this is the size you need to be to be healthy.  There may be times when you want to eat more, and times when you want to eat less.  I'll bet you would eat more if your activity level was higher.\n\nHowever, if you notice an imbalance...that your appetite isn't in line with your activity level, and you may start passing out, having skin problems, or other types of malnutrition symptoms, it is your body trying to tell you that something is missing between your appetite signal and what you actually need.\n\nIn that case, you still don't want to force yourself, but you may want to try taking a multivitamin and other supplements to bring things back in line.\n\nThere are also high calorie energy foods that you can eat that will provide what you need without alot of junk.  I don't like much sugar either, so when I was having energy problems but lack of appetite from hypothyroid, I would have a banana with peanut butter, celery with cream cheese, or a packet of those cheese peanut butter crackers.\n\nIf it's the chewing and swallowing that bothers you (I used to have trouble swallowing too), then something liquid like a yoghurt drink or Ovaltine might do the job.\n\nDon't worry about what the jealous have to say about your weight.  You know, even as a fat woman, I sometimes get comments from people because I handle it well and don't let it stop me from doing whatever I want to do.  So just tune the nega-nags out and just live your life.  Your health is your business.

For me, I get stuffed up when I have certain foods, and I thingk it is something like an allergic reaction. Ice cream and mozzarella cheese are big ones for me in that regard. Maybe you are frequently having something to eat that is mucous forming, like alot of dairy and wheat products are.

I think it can be a henderance to your digestion yes.\nBecause depending on what you are watching.  It can \neffect you emotionally, and physically. Causing a problem with the way you digest your food.

My heart goes out to you. It must be hard to hear what you have described. \n\nI feel scared for you if your Mom is saying you are fat at a size 0 and you are starting to believe her. This sounds like possible emotional abuse. If she means you no harm, then it sounds like an attitude from someone who has Anorexia . It is a very difficult, yet treatable condition if the person seeks help. No matter what your Mom says or does, I hope you see a school counselor or doctor about this very soon for your own safety. They can help you find out if you have Anorexia, and can help you if some verbal / emotional abuse is going on. \n\nI've met some people who don't have an eating disorder and genuinely cannot gain weight even when they try to. This is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. A professional can help you find some answers. \n\nI wish you the best.

Are you obssessed with your weight? Do you sometimes spend the day eating nothing just to feel thinner? Do you feel insufficient energy? If yes, you might have an eating disorder. But if you eat normally and still thin, it's just your metabolism, don't worry about it. It means you're just lucky!\n\nBe careful with your health whatever you do.

Is it just that you have no appetite or do you feel sick if you try to eat?\nReally, eat anyways. \n\nSkipping meals can lead to a wide variety of health problems.

Im no doctor but I believe that you should get some help.  Not eating is not healthy.  I was anorexic also.  I got so sick it was awful. You should get some help before it's too late.
