My parents think I have an eating disorder but I DON'T!?


My parents are convinced that I have an eating disorder but I honestly don't. I'm very skinny because I have a fast metabolism. Not to the point where it looks unhealthy, but I wear a size 0 in pants. I know some of you would say that's unhealthy, but I am 4'11" so I'm pretty sure it's fine. My school starts at 7am so I barely have time to do anything in the morning. If I wake up on time, I eat breakfast, but most of the time I just don't have time to. Because of this, my parents think I am anorexic. I wish they could watch me in school and after school - during school I eat so much and almost anything someone at my table won't finish, I'll eat. After school I hang out with friends and we always have snacks at their house. This is making me so mad. What can I do?

I understand what you're going through. I"m skinny to and have been all my life as well. I know it can be frustrating at times. When I was in high school - I was so tiny, ppl asked me if I was anorexic...which really upset me cause I would never hunger my body!

Try to eat a lot in front of your parents. Also, if they're still not convinced, u could go to a doctor with your parents and do a check-up. The doctor can tell them that you're perfectly healthy.

One big advise...PLEASE DON'T EAT UNHEALTHY FOOD TO GAIN WEIGHT! You won't gain weight in the right places: prolly ur tummy - not the boobs and the butt. Ppl who tell you to just eat a lot of junk food obviously do not know what they're talking about. It's very unhealthy and it will definitely nothelp you in the long run.

What you can do - is some good healthy exercise to gain muscles ( you won't look like a boy!) and dress in a way that will make you appear fuller and less skinny.
I found a great website on this subject, you should ask them ur question too - they've always helped me out. i'll give u the link:

Good luck with everything girl - remember: you are beautiful the way you are!!! :-) Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise!!!

Is there a time you eat in front of your parents? I was your size once upon a time. And I ate alot too. There is nothing wrong with you and you know that. Im not sure how you can convince your parents. As long as you don't obsess on your body or call your self fat.

tell them.
like keep a diary of what you eat everyday and show them

Just eat a lot around them to prove to them you aren't anorexic and you aren't worried about getting fat from eating.

hey hey sweety

okay!! well i am the same as you but i am 13 yrs old
5'2" and wear a pant size of 0 as well. Ask your parents to read this. I am really just as skinny as you and my twin sister is probably skinnier she doesn't even wear a 0 yet. I believe you have high metabolism because i do to. It said it in my blood report.

If you need more proof emial me and i will give you pictures.


see you soon honny
