I don't have an eating disorder but people still accuse me of having one!?



I'm 5'2 1/2" and I weigh anywhere from 110-116 pounds. I'm really skinny despite my weight. I think some of the weight is muscle mass from working out and playing sports. But my mom accuses me of having an eating disorder because I don't eat the whole world. I eat until I'm full and I never go hungry. I think I just have a small stomach. What does everybody think? How can I get people to stop accusing me of this? Thanks!

ya, u probably have a fast metabolism - so tell people that! A fast metabolism is when ur body is able to digest food really quickly and hardly makes u put on weight...i have a fast metabolism and it suits me just fine! eating anything and everything i want anytime without worrying of putting on weight. Just as long as you eat enough for your body to get all the essential nutrients and aren't concerned about gaining extra weight or thinking ure fat when ure actually not, u don't hav a problem at all!
Once you stop calling it an accusation and start calling it a diagnosis, your attitude will probably change and then you can have frank discussions with your mom or anyone else. You might also find yourself listening instead of defending yourself.
in the summer, i was also accused of having an eating disorder by my female cousin and mother. i am 5'1 1/2 and i was 131 pounds (you may think that is a lot of weight for someone my height, but i was very skinny at the time). i went to the Y for camp, that is why i was so muscular

you have a fast metabolism from playing sports, or it could just be from your natural metab.

it may be hard to ignore them when you tell them, but thats just what you have to do.
If you are sure that you are eating enough and you excercise, explain this to your mother. Honestly, if you are healthy, ignore them.
