My family wont let me eat more

 

So I am a male 5'5' and I weigh 99 pounds. I am super skinny and I dont like my body, I want to gain weight. But my mother keeps stopping me from gaining weight I find, she is afraid of all foods! She only makes me eat soup! Sometimes I have solids. But like when I come home and eat out I need to hide it because as soon as she sees that I bought solid food from fast food she will yell and tell me "Your gonna die, solid food is bad for you, soup is healthy!" She thinks I will get stomach cancer if I eat heavy. I feel dizzy a lot and weak. She tells me its just my anxiety and says I should take anti depressants for it. I know I dont have anxiety I just dont know why she is doing all this.

 

Is this normal? Why does she do all this?

When you joined this site two years ago - in your first thread - you were only 18. Which would make you 20 now?

You need to assert yourself.

 

Tell her that you don't want live your life eating only soup.

 

Tell her that you want to gain weight.

 

At 16 you have the right to decide what you will and will not eat.

 

Assert yourself, but be civil.

As a 23 year speaking on behalf of a 16 year old, you should contact CPS (Child Protective Services) or your area's equivalent of it on behalf of the 16 year old for whom you speak.

Thanks for the answers, any reasons why she is like that though?

With so much lying, it becomes difficult to tell what is truth and what are attempts to gain attention.

 

Just say'n...

Okay now that your done stating stupid things like this that are not relevant to the topic, lets get back to the point, why do you think she is like that?

I dunno. This is your story...why do you imagine she's that way?

 

 

In any event, CPS (or your area's equivalent) will be happy to help your 16-YO friend for whom you speak out with this immediate danger to his help. They will also put your 16-YO friend for whom you speak's mother in touch with the proper resources to determine why she's doing it and to help her overcome her issue(s) so she can have her 16-YO son for whom you speak back in her custody, again.

 

 

Good luck with that phone call!

Actually, the point of this thread is NOT "why is she like that"; the point is your 16-YO friend for whom you speak's health and well-being are in danger.

 

You should get offline and make that phone call and then come back and let us know how it turned out for your 16-YO friend.
