Answers:
you should ask your self why you only want to eat a little, remember that your stomach shrinks when you don't eat much so by eating more again it should get back to normal. it will be difficult at first thats normal.
good luck :)
Well i suppose there is.
When i was 11-13 i had a phobia called anginophoiba and everytime i would eat i'd have to spit it in my napkin, because i was afraid of choking. I got so stick thin that i was put in the hospital on feeding tubes. and its not that i didnt want to eat, i was scared. Really weird.
But yah i think its possible.
yea it's its a mental as physical desiese
I think lots of people will disagree, but i think you can be unwillingly. I know i eat like a horse, about double the recommended calories per day!! And I'm still really slim. I'm 0.5 away from being 'technically' anorexic size according to the BMI scale, but i can't physically put on weight. Eat what feels natural to YOU, everyone needs different amounts of food. Please try to eat more, but if you physically can't, don't fret. Maybe see a doctor about your apatite?
Yes, it's possible - your conscious, intellectual mind is resisting the anorexic impulses of your subconcious, emotional self.
You CAN help it, you CAN overcome it... but you may need help to do so.
Please talk to your parents and your doctor about this. Show them your posting or write them a letter if it helps you express yourself better. Don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for and accept help.
The answer could be as simple as a temporary loss of appettite due to changing hormones. Or it could be as severe and complex as a deep-seated self-esteem issue brought about by repressed memories of abuse. Or it could be anything in between. No matter what it is, talking about it will help.
good luck!
it might be an eating disorder but you might just not eat a lot, because my sister gets full soo easily its pretty scary but she has a fine figure or something.
if this keeps happening see a doctor just in case
