that is a lot of weight to loose in 2 weeks. You are going through a rough time... you just have to make yourself eat.
ok losing that much weight in a small amount of time is way to much. You need to watch it. and if you can't i suggest admitting yourself into a hospital. I did and it's the best thing i've ever done for myself. Of course the divorce is having a lot to do with you being able to eat and not to eat but you need to FORCE yourself to eat. If you do not, you'll be in so much pain you have no idea.
hun..you might be going through depression..Try to eat + be healthy..Hang out with your friends..talk to them
yea u could b
no your not anorexic, your just under stress from what's going on.
Sounds more like stress or depression.
that's pretty understandable. I didn't have much of an appetite while my parents were divorcing, but I got over it. as long as your not doing it just to look thin. just try to keep track and set up eating schedules or something.
NO YOUR NOT!!
YOUR JUST DEPRESSED I HAD TO MOVE SKOOLS AND I LOST ALOT OF WIEGHT RIGHT AFTER I FOUND OUT SO ITS OK!! AND IM SORRY I DONT REMEMBER MY PARENTS DIVORCE ( I WAS 3) BUT I KNOW KINDA WUT YOUR GOING THROUGH!!
You would be anorexic if you were not eating like this on purpose and you would be focused on it all the time. It sounds like to me that you're going thru alot of emotional hard things, give yourself a break and try to not worry about it right now. Just kind of go with the flow. Sorry to hear it.
Could you just be trying to manipulate your parents into not-divorcing?
Try working out. It'll make you want to eat more. I know that
because I used to be anorexic.
It's possible, but it may just be the stress of the divorce that's caused you to lose so much weight. Or it may be an eating disorder; I don't knokw since I don't know you. Anorexia is a fear of fatness and a refusal to nourish one's body. Ask yourself a few of these questions and answer honestly. If you say yes to more than one, you may want to get help.
Do you refuse yourself food? Do you try to hide food so you don't have to eat it? Do you make up excuses so you don't have to eat most of your food? Do you move the food around your plate so it looks like you've eaten more than you have? Do you avoid social situations so people won't see that you don't eat? Do you do intense aerobic exercise for more than two hours per day? Are you pale, or often sick? Have you missed your menstrual period? Do you believe that you are fat or disgusting? Have you been trying to lose weight and used extreme measures to lose it (ex: abuse of laxatives or diuretics, induced vomiting, weighing food and counting calories, checking the bathroom scale more than twice per day, abuse of diet pills, etc.)? Do you talk about food and weight constantly? Have you started to wear loose clothes to hide your appearance?
If you've answered yes to more than one or two of these questions, you may have a problem.... In which case, you need to tell someone you trust and get help.
with yr parents going through a divorce this is the reason why yr appetite is not much. try to have soups if you don't feel like anything to solid. this will keep up yr strength a little. you know there is nothing you can do for yr parents let them do what they have to. they still both care for you and this is a common thing these days. but don't take it out on yrself. not eating properly is not going to solve the problem
no, you are going through a difficult situation and it is causing stress upon your eating and body, so you need to eat, getting sick is not going to stop the process your parents are venturing. You might have heard this before--- you are not to blame in any aspect; it is your parents that have fallen out of love for each other and your concern for them will affect you to some degree especially if you have a close relationship with them, so please get some help for yourself because at this moment your parents are so focused on themselves. Go and have some "you time" with your friends or preoccupy yourself with a healthy activity. It would be nice if your parents could resolve their issues but only you know if this is possible; take care and try not to worry so much; they have made their choice.
your going through a rough patch and im so sorry! but you have to eat! dont kill your body please be healthy and be happy have fun with your life...life's too short to live like that!
That's an outrageous weight loss in 2 weeks! Haven't your parents noticed? TELL THEM! It's not healthy.
