I Have Trouble Eating Enough Posted: 02-09-07 03:45am
Over the years i've gotten thinner and
thinner because I can't seem to eat
enough.
I've been a picky eater every since I was
young, and often my family would have to
find alternative meals (whether the
alternates were healthy for me or not) to
what they usually cook. They'd also feed
me smaller portions because of this.
As I entered highschool my diet seemed to
be getting better because I started to
participate more in sports. But I quit
sports after the first year and began to
eat alot less due to family-related stress
and over-working myself at school. I
would more than often skip meals to
complete homework assignments.
I'm not as much of a picky-eater as I use
to be, but my father is getting angry at
how skinny I become over the months and
it's making me extremely depressed. I'm
small and not physically active anymore.
I'm upset when people call me skinny,
especially my family and co-workers.
How am I suppose to gain weight in a
healthy manner? On top of this I have
anxiety problems and tooth issues (i had a
root-canal on one side of my mouth, and a
very large space accompanied by a broken
tooth on the other side) so sometimes it
takes longer for me to chew.
Id probably finda nutritionist to help
you in that area. I never had the problem
of needing to put on weight recently to
remember healthy alternatives. If your
eating smaller portions i would try
eating 6 small healthy meals a day rather
then 3 regular meals. I'm sure a
nutritionist can help find foods that are
healthy and u can chew easily as well.
Even unintentionally being underweight it
can still be dangerous and unhealthy.
