| Erin - Seek help - I am a mother of an Anoxeric and I can tell you now I went through the Denial stage thinking it's not what I think well this March we went to ICU and fortunately we lived and have been in treatment since. The disorder made my daughter lie when she has never lied before and very dishonest. It is a very difficult road and can damage vital organs of there body. The withdrawal is a major sign of Anoxeria and the placement of food in a particular way. It takes a while to help them cope with their disorder but it will never go away. Take it from a mother who is going down a long road to recovery right now. ↑ |

Ok it looks like u guys are all mothers, but i'm a girl who had anorexia. I was only 11 at the time. I was like 5'2 and weighed 62 lbs!!!!! This is what my mom told me when she figured out wut was going on, she sed "do u want ur life 2 be cut short? well then u need 2 star eatting more." then she just left the room, but when it got in2 my head that i could die, then i convinced my self 2 check in2 a rehab facility. And now i'm doing a lot better, i'm 14, 5'4 and weigh 75 lbs!!!!!
Luv Always,

It is so hard to say if she does have an eating disorder or if it is normal teenage moodiness. This would be the time to find out and approach her without being confrontantional or too out of your normal routine. Kids are smart and will play on our emotions, exspecially if you are making her get on a scale.
Try and show her some postive attention in other parts of her life on a daily basis. Do family activites with her and slip in a doctors check-up for her.....
Good luck and keep us updated.

| alot of this is probably normal 'teenagerness'. i am a teenager and i know this but i also am anorexic. if she has always been a picky eater, then the food patterns shouldn't be too far from the norm. however the thing about the scales and not eating breakfast could be signs. some kids just don't like to eat breakfast, but others don't for other reasons. i don't for fear of gaining weight. try to sit down with her and have a real heart to heart talk about it. i know i would have appreaciatied if my mom had done so for me. ↑ |

| i'm 24 years old and I have been battling anorexia/bulimia since before I was diagnosed at 10 and had already lost a significant amount of weught. I think that you need to be really supportive of your daughter . My mother didn't support me, she actually figured she could force me to eat and step on the scale which made everything worse. At 16 I had hit my all time low of 69lbs. at 5'3''. My mom thought I was being a basket case and didnt want to go to school, but I really had no energy, I had to be helped to the bathroom and finally carried into the hospital. Parents need to be more supportive of their children especially those with a mental illness like anorexia or bulimia. this disease doesn't just affect the patient, but also the family and the rest5 of their lives. At 24 I have 2 children and still find myself not eating for a week at a time because these are the habits I've developed as a young girl. Yeah mom told me to eat and if she forced me, I'd just puke it up- 2 min in heaven! Work with your daughter show her what she's doing because that's the only way to get through sometimes. I despised the therapist at her age and actually wouldn't talk which added more on to the situation. Support is the key!!! I don't want your daughter to battle the way I do for the rest of my life. ↑ |

| It will be all right. If your child loses in more wait take her to the doctor. Try to encourage her to eat more. Like I said before it will be ok. ↑ |

I'm 13 around 5'5.. yes. at 13 im the tallest one in my family.
My older sister is 18 and is 5'2 she has barely ever weighed more than 100lbs. I am heavier than her and she is 5 years older than me!! i just don't like that at all. My mom thinks she will gain the "freshmen 15" but the fact is that i still weigh and have always weighed more than her.
in the summer i had nothing better to do all i did was eat. i weighed about 112. when school started i ran cross country and lost about 6 lbs. but gained all back. im back to 112. girls at my school are so skinny. I hate it.
they all weigh around 100 or less.
I was fine when i weighed 106. i just need help. i have developed BAD eating habits I eat all the time. I don't know what to do. I either eat a lot... OR NOTHING AT ALL I know 6lbs may seem like it isnt a lot but to me it is.i want to get down to about 100. that would be great but everytime i tell my friends that they freak out. I just need someone to get me through this. ↑ |

I hope you get your daugther into treatment. Most often, at first it cannot be fixed through outside treatment. Your daugther does have the classic symptoms of anoxeria. It is really not about how much you weigh on the scale, it is about the mind. It is a drive to thinness, that there is never a perfect size or weight. It is not about the food, even though it seems that way. Food is the one thing your daugther feels she can control in her life.
I went to treatment and it is the blessing in my life. I was able to let go if the control of food by them putting food make in my life, then the thoughts became clearer. Once I started feeding myself, we were able to deal with the emotional issues that drove me to the anoxeria. ↑ |

| well apart from anything sounds like she has an unhealthy obsession with her food and altho it may not have anything to do with her self image it may be about control...she may feel like she has no control over her life and by having control of her diet it makes her feel more worthy i know exactly how she feels and i sympathise with you both.... i suggest you sit her down and you do all the talking you explain to her that wat shes doing is affecting everybody around her and she should see somebody to discuaa why she has such odd behaviour...it may be as simple as her being picked on at school or something..anyways i wish you good luck with this problem. ↑ |

Trust me, from experience,the best thing to do is confront her. If that fails, then please take her to a doctor.
Before it is too late.

Last year I was put into the hospital diagnosed with anorexia. Your daughter sounds like she might be suffering from anorexia. I would like to help your daughter get better.
I have lived through that tough road and I Think I can help her get through it. If you dont contact me, I believe you should hire a nutritionist right away. ↑ |

honey, you have reason to be worried your daughter. from what i heard, she sounds like she is anorexic. she might just be upset about something, but i think you should maybe take her to a dietian, and tell her it is just to get a check up, and if he says its anorexia, you need to take her to a clinic. it might sound hard, but you have to do something. trust me. i have been through the same thing. i was anorexic. but it didnt get that extreme. im a teenager so i know. and if she says mean things, just ignore it. she is a teenager.
best wishes
morgan. ↑ |

| Name: ashley | Date: Jan 8th, 2006 2:16 AM |
| she could be anorexic but im about her age i dont eat breakfast at all, i do eat lunch and i dont eat much dinner but does your daughter go to the kitchen late at night or have food in her room? she might be pressured by something or someone(not saying its you its rarely the mom) just tell her your worried and she might just be emmbarrised about some things. check things out with her and see how she is every day she wont like it trust me but it keeps her knowing you care ↑ |
| Name: Depressed Boi | Date: Jan 15th, 2006 6:28 PM |
| if you tell her directly or if she suspects you she will close off if its any kind of rebellion its not something that should be difficult to do, just say " your not leaveing till you eat" or something to that effect especialy if you know she wants to go somewhere then she will do it quickly and not even think about it ↑ |

| Hi, im a 13 year old girl who used to have anorexia. At the age of 12 I used to be just like your daughter. I wouldn't eat anything all day and when my parents came home I would eat. I then reolized that I became 10 lbs. underweight in the first month of summer. I tried to sort out why was I doing this to myself. Was it because I wanted to look pretty? Yes, I must admit that was a part of it. I always wanted to look like a supermodel, but I never took action until that specific summer. I came to the conclusion that it was my self image put together with the unhapiness of being alone all day while my parents were at work. There was nobody to boost my self esteem i had nobody to talk to. All my friends were at camp, my parents coudn't afford to pay that money. I understood this situation, but it doesn.t mean that I still wasn't hurt. I delt with my preblems by not eating. I request that you don't brign up the subject of her eating problems, just take her out somewhere, ask her how her day was. If she doesn't want to spend time with her family, don't make her. It will only make her more sad, which will make her not want to eat. I'm not saying to eliminate all of her resposibilities. When it comes to HW you should be stern but when she's done, do something with her. If she refuses to spend time with you, don't scream, don't lose your control. Remember that you are her mother, you are more powerful then she. Don't give in to her threats. She loves you although she may not show it. But when dealing with her don't scream or punish her. You are a mature adult, you are too inteligent to deal with a little child with force. ↑ |

| i know what your daughter is feeling, im going through the same thing right now, im not happy with the way i look, so im not eating. i eat dinner and thats it, but im getting to the stage where i cant keep my food down without making myself purposly bring it up. my mum hasnt even noticed but i wish she woukd! i want someone there for me to talk to. TRUST ME dont pressure her into going anywhere near scales, just let her know you are there for security and trust but dont influence her in any way, if things get too seriouse, then sit her down and have a more seriouse talk about it with her. im still quite chubby but i know im balemik and on my way to becoming anarexic, its my own personal choice to be this way and no-one could make me want to change the way i live. i have ana friends so this is helpfull. ↑ |
