…of developing an eating disorder? The story goes like this. I used to love eating. I was never fat or overweight, because I have always done an exercise. But now I continue with sports, but my appetite is gone. It’s been like this for a few months now. Everybody that I know has told me that I lost weight and became skinny. Even my mom, who is obsessed with eating right and exercise, is telling me that I don’t eat enough and that I may be losing muscle. I exercise daily, but sometimes when I’m hungry, I eat something, but I get full quickly. I usually feel hungry again after half an hour, but I forbid myself to eat because I’m worried that I’ll overeat and gain back all the weight that I lost, even though I take Taekwondo, do aerobics, push-ups, and sit-ups a lot. My dad told me that I may be slowly developing anorexia nervosa. But the thing is, I’m rarely hungry. Even when I am hungry, I try not to eat more than a salad and a piece of meat. Am I at risk of anorexia?
