@Redrose1234

It's dangerous to talk about"bad" or"normal" about weight. If you have less appetite for no apparent reason, go to your GP. I know it sounds weird to go to the doctor for something that is not an infection or broken limb but it's important when you are a teenager to see your GP regularly. Your body is changing, your hormones too and you can't compare with before because change is expected. Only a doctor or trained nurse can tell you what is normal or not. Don't listen too much to teenagers your age:they are changing too.

@Redrose1234 - Hi there - I edited out the weight because we try to avoid weight and calorie specifics in the eating disorder forums to avoid potential triggers for others. But also, as was said above, we are not doctors, so we are not able to tell you what is a "good" or "bad" weight to be at and the best way to be more certain is to talk to a doctor about it. What I can tell you is that if you are not eating or are eating dramatically less, that's definitely something concerning and worth getting support with earlier rather than later. My guess is if your friends are noticing and concerned, there's good reason. When did you start eating less? What do you think might have influenced it?

Hi! I hope your day is going well. I'm in the samesituation as you. I'm 14, and Ihave an eating disorder. I hate eating, and try to avoid it as much as possible. When I started, I didn't think itwould be that bad. I ocasionally started skipping meals, or telling my parents I already ate.
When I decided to stop, and when I would eat, I always though that other people thought I was fat. I missed the feeling of hunger and "getting skinny." So, I startyed again. This time, I haven't stopped. I hope that we can all help each other!

@emsworld Hello Everyone. I am so glad to finally be able to meet all of you

So I am here, because I have Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, aka, Selective Eating Disorder and I can say that it has been a tough journey but I believe that I might get better. I wish you all a good day :)

New to the group happy to be here hoping i can find other people who understand me

im a little backwards as far as MOST people view eating disorders so finding a group where i fit in is really hard i have been fighting my body lately with just trying to eat like i should and not making myself sick

i am what my DR calls a undereater so my body stores all the fat from my food making me fat & overweight due to not eating what i should most people just think i eat like a pig and im super fat bc of it little do they know i only eat 1 or 2 times every 2 days if even that



PLZ forgive any spelling mistakes

I have a binge eating disorder, and it's been a rough year. I'm gaining weight and it's embarrassing. I feel like it tells the world how messed up I am. Glad to be on this forum as I develop new eating habits.
