Any comments welcome...

I'll say this now: im not doing it on purpose!

i live with my mum and her boyfriend and my brother. and its not really a tradition, just a 'thing' we do, is always have tea together round the table, instead of infront of the tv. so i get my meals made for me. but i just never seem to be able to eat it all.

im never hungry, n if i am its, well, that time of the month and its a craving for chocolate or bananas.

but my mum and stepdad always make me eat it all, they even put less on my plate, but i stil cant eat it all, they make me though.

i would get full if i ate: a pork chop with a hand full of sweetcorn and a few chips. thats it im full and i en dup being sick.

its not that im tryin to be sick after, or i think "oh im fat i dont want it" i would really like to be able to eat it, especially sunday roast mmmmmm i know its tasty, an di really wish i could eat it al, but i just dont get hungry. and i could have some carrots and a yorkshire pud then thats it im full.

i dunno whats wrong with me!? i get wrong for it LOADS its causes so much arguments and i always end up in tears because they go through the effort of making it for me. sometimes my mum even gets angry because she thinks im beign sick on purpose and gets worried. but im not!

anyone know whats wrong with me???

Well, if you really do want to eat it all and enjoy eating, maybe you have an actual medical issue? If you just don't get hungry, or you feel sick afterwards you might have an actual medical problem. I know there are a lot of different stomach problems that can cause one to feel/be sick after eating. Not actually being hungry though...I don't know. But if there is a real desire to eat, a real enjoyment from the meal, no "guilt" after for having eaten and you really don't feel "fat" (I hate that word!) and feel good about yourself...I'd say go talk to your doctor because you might have an actual underlying medical issue. HTH!
