My parents are hiding food from me.?


I used to weigh 102kg and i have lost alot of weight over the past year and now weigh 68kg.
I lost the weight because i was bulimic, but my parents have no idea.

Recently i have noticed that my parents have been hiding food from me and they also tell me to stop eating sometimes when i am eating 'too much'

When they do this they make me feel terrible.
I feel like a failure already, being caught makes me feel even lower.

How can i stop them from doing this without telling them about my eating disorder?

I would come to terms with them and let them know you have a problem that is the safest thing for you to do at the moment.

You're only a failure if you fail to admit to those who love you that you have a serious disorder.

You need to tell them. Tell them and they'll help you get professional help.

omg u need a therapist, not in a bad way, i just mean u ned to talk to someone and ur parents are a holes!

Tell this to an adult you trust.
Your parents are the reason why you are bulimic!
Get some help.
Your parents are not helping you at all.

Please, tell them about it.
Its good to have a healthy relationship and an open communication with your parents. talk to them.

Honestly, stop throwing up and slowly start eating more food.

... its hard for me to convey this to you, but you are only as strong as you want to be.

If you have had dramatic weight loss I can't fathom why your parents are hiding food..., maybe they know?

Well they want you to be healthy and thats why they are doing that try to understand that your parents only want to do you only good not bad things to you.

Perhaps they are hiding food from you because they've already figured out that you eat too much and purge and are trying to keep you from doing it, without wanting to really be mature enough to talk about it.

Either way, you have to tell some trusted adult about your problem, parents or not, because bulemia will end up destroying your body if you don't stop.

Please find someone who can support you and help you to live healthily and happily. Don't be scared or ashamed of it. We all have problems that we have to learn to deal with at some point. Hiding them only makes our lives more unbearable.

You need to tell your parents about your bulimia because their comments and actions will push you right back into doing that. Your family needs to work on this together because it's a problem affecting all of you. I'm sure they're a lot more concerned about your health than your appearance, so it's a goal you can all work on together. No one sabotages anyone else's efforts.

If they are hiding food from you but you say they had "no idea" about your bulimia, I think you are only kidding yourself. They already know.

I understand the hurt this can create for you. I strongly suggest you talk to your school counselor, a trusted adult/teacher, or just talk to your parents. You need help. I'm very, very disappointed that your parents have done nothing for you already. Even if they think you're just overeating and don't suspect bulimia, compulsive overeating is still an eating disorder.
I suggest you get help from a mental health professional.

Consult your doctor; (say you have severe chest pains: anything!) admit your bulimia there, and ask for a referral. See bulimia, in section 39, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris It is an extremely serious eating disorder, with a high death rate, so please seek treatment as a matter of urgency!!!
