Am i eating too little?
For most of my life i have never eaten alot of food since kindergared i allways avoided eating there becuse the food looked gross so i didin't eat it, but i still had beakfast at home every morning. When my second school year starded then there was no one home when i woke up since my family goes to work early and i don't have siblings and i starded to avoid breakfast. At school i allways bought snacks, but i didin't eat much at home since my mom came home from work really late and didin't have time to cook. Now i can cook for myself but i still avoid eating alot. I am so used to feeling hunger that i don't notice it anymore and i don't really care about it. I have gotten alot skinnier becuse of this, but i haven't lost any weight even tho i look thinner.I used to have toughts of starving myself and i did do it, but not that much i just didin't eat when i felt dissapointed in myself(i still do it sometimes). I'm not sure what i should do about it, i also have this thing that on weekends i eat alot of food, but on schooldays i barley eat anything. :(

@LiineTheFox I know how you feel. I have a lot of trouble eating. I have always been thin and I have actually tried to gain more weight, but it has never really worked. Sometimes I'll know that I should eat, but I don't feel like eating anything. There have actually been times when I have had to kind of force myself to drink one of those meal replacement drinks just to get some nutrients. I'm also a picky eater which doesn't help. I will sometimes ignore my hunger pain too, but I mostly do that at school because I don't like eating in class. I'm also a slow eater and I'll feel bad for taking so long and sometimes I won't eat until I'm full or there literaly won't be enough food left for me to have seconds because I took so long.
I have had this issue for years and it gives me a lot of anxiety, but it makes me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one, although I wouldn't wish this problem on anyone.
@tealShade3687 Oh i am sorry to hear that :(
I also feel really akward to eat infront of other people becuse it just makes me feel ashamed since for me i eat really fast and sometimes a pretty huge meal becuse i starve myself for awhile and then eat alot in one go. I do realate with you and yes it is good that we are not alone.
@LiineTheFox Yeah, for the longest time I felt weird and alone because I didn't have anyone close to me that really understood my problem. I have people who I think try to help me in their own way, but it just doesn't work for me. Until now, I felt like I would just never be understood when it came to my eating problem. I'm really glad I found your post!
@tealShade3687 i am happy that you realised that you aren't alone with this and i know plenty of people with eating problems.
@LiineTheFox Thanks, I appreciate that! That makes me feel a lot better!
