Just remember that you have complete control over your body, which means you have control over what goes in and out of it. It took me over two years suffering with bulimia to figure that out. Just take it slow. You have to eat. Just make good decisions. And, you don't have to be skinny to have an eating disorder, trust me. Also keep in mind, there is nothing anybody on this site, or anywhere else, can do or say that will make this all go away. You just have to do it.

Oooh, I know just how you feel. My brothers like that sometimes. He'll be eating junk and I'll be like "noo thank you" and he'll be llike "whats your problum?? C'mon, I feel like an idiot sitting here eating all by myself" (he's not fat btw. he's like perfect). And he'll like force me to eat by saying stuff like "i'm not talking to you till you eat" or "Come on, just ONE bite!" etc. and from there I go downhill =S . Annyhoo, tell your mom an eating disorder is when you totly starve yourself and/or throw up after you eat every single thing, NOT when you just try to eat healthy and stay away from junk. Its as simple as that. Tell her your just trying to lose weight by eating less and more healthy and that your not doing anything drastic (that IS, unless you ARE starving yourself or throwing up after you eat anything, which is a major no no even if you are chunky!)

Maybe you should try talking to your mom. Or maybe going to the doctors might be good he could give you some advice. But I doubt you even have an eating disorder. Good luck! Hugs! :)
