Do people around you lecture you and make you feel as tho you have some sort of eating disorder, because you don't feel like eating?
I have people trying to shovel food down me from every direction and I cannot make them understand I AM NOT HUNGRY!!!!!
I am 44 years old and my mother calls me every morning to ask me when the last time I ate.... My boyfriend is a chef and he brings me food every evening... the to go containers are filling up my fridge FAST!!! Please tell me how to make people leave me alone? I get sick,, (physically) when I make myself eat... Thank you for bringing this out and no, I have not found anything that does not make me sick!

I understand also yeaterday I ate and afterwards I really felt sick. I drink Ensure to keep my mom happy b/c she worries about me not eating anything at all but I go through spells where i might be hungry or not at all like feast or famine. The ensure i can get down doesnt make me feel to bad . Now my bf has bought me protien powder. Thats pretty gross. But I feel like sometimes im so turned off by food. I tell the doc and he says just eat something good or bad you need food .
