Question : i’m being sent to an anorexia counseling session…but i don’t have an eating disorder!?
my parents seem to think that i have an eating disorder, because i’m very thin. but the thing is, i eat like a horse! they’re obviously making a mistake by sending me there…they’re pulling me out of school for a day and everything. what can i say to the people at the clinic to convince them that i truly don’t have an eating disorder? will they be able to tell? i mean, i don’t even count calories for crying out loud! how can i make my first visit to this place be my last?

maybe they will ask your parents if they see you eat every day and how often they see you eat
If you eat one or more meals a day with them or in their presence maybe that will be good enough for the counselor. Or you could suggest to the counselor to ask them this if the counselor doesn’t say it. Ask for a family session
And they will be able to tell that you are not vomiting your food back up, because you won’t have any damage in your throat or teeth from stomach acid.

well no offense your family is retarded. and that means they are stupid because they aren’t supposed to send you for help with out going to the doctor first. and i have ahard time believing this because
1) if you eat like a horse and you are still thin (you are like me) then that means you are naturally skinny. and if you are naturally skinny then you must have been like that your whole life. and if your parents haven’t noticed that then (excuse me) they are freaking stupid.
2) if your parents seriously believe you are anorexic then they should have sent you to the doctor FIRST
3) also if you eat like a horse then you parents should have noticed because you probbably eat dinner with them
4) if your parents noticed you eating like a horse then they sent you to the wrong counseling meeting. shoould have sent you to beulimia sessions. <5) also they should have sent you to the DOCTOR your parents are a a pair of idiots. no offense

I’d suggest being honest with them about how much you’re eating but keep in mind I’m sure they’ve seen lots of people who claim to be eating enough. If you’re parents are that worried try eating your meals around them so that they know how much you’re eating. If you’re eating properly you probably just have a fast metabolism. Don’t worry too much, doctors used to ask if I was eating properly all the time because I was underweight (despite the fact that I ate as much if not more than my dad and I’m a girl). Anyway, the doctors should be able to figure out that you are eating right. Be prepared to be patient with them though, it may take a while.

Ugh, my mom is wanting to do the same thing for me! She told me, “I’m giving you one more chance to eat before I send you to a clinic!” Haha. The only thing is, I’m not anorexic! Gr. I’m just thin, like you, right? Well, go to the clinic, the doctors will see that you are healthy. Then who will be laughing!? Bwahaha! Unless you are actually bony and underweight you have nothing to worry about. Act healthy, mentally and physically when you are in the clinic. Be smiley and cooperative.
I’m sure you will be fine:)
