My sister is almost 20.... she was very skinny when she was young and started putting on weight after puberty.. She has always been a curvy teen- 160cm and between 135-140 pounds... she doesn't do any exercise and she doesn't eat very healthy.... I've always been the skinny one and i suppose that may be tough for her, because i found it soo easy to loose weight.... but i've always wanted to have something simular to her body shape
Lately i've noticed her being really moody and withdrawn... she hardley ever eats these days and she always claims to feel sick or not hungry..... the other day all she had to eat was a handful of tiny teddies (small biscuits) for the whole day... and yesterday she ate a few fries at lunch... i asked my mum and dad about it and they're like... 'comeone she eats heaps'... noone seems to notice for about the past month she's been eating less than one meal a day! anyways, for dinner last night i told her it was ready and she said that she was going in the bath and she'd have it later.... then my brother came home and said he wanted her dinner and she said that was fine, coz she wasnt hungry.... i'm like to mum see!!!! so mum made her dinner after and she ate half of it and they were satisfied with that.... i'm not allowed to leave the dinner table until i finish my dinner and desert, and i do eat it and still i'm the one who has an eating problem... just because im super skinny and she isn't...
I made her breakfast this morning and she ate it, so i don't know if i'm overreacting and she seriously is just not feeling too hungry lately, or if she is actually trying to loose weight by starving herself or even throwing her food up.. I've been doing so well with fighting my anorexia and i'm worried that if she starts to develop an eating disorder that i will fall back into my eating habits... coz right now i hav to eat about 5 times what she does just to maintain my weight and more to gain it so any cut downs in my diet will result in weight loss...... i'm scared for her because i don't wan't her ever to go through what i did... I hope she knows that it isn't worth it- It's the only regretful thing i have done in my life.... I just dont understand why she would want to do this after she's seen what i've been through......
Do i have a reason to be worried, or is it just in my imagination???
