Hey,
I think i might have posted this b4 but im small for my age, 13 and about 4'10! My parents say i dont eat enough. I think there right. Im very skinny, i wear a size 10 pants. I'm never that hungry just a little hungry i guess. I only take a few bite out of sandwhiches or skip lunch all together. for dinner i eat one small slice of meat and half a potato and im basically full. Do i have a eating disorder? I'm always tired and my mom says because i dont eat enough. She keeps saying "Your gonna starve yourself to death." and that scares me. I dont feel starved, plz help!

I DON"T know if am right bout u ?... .am just saying what if felted bout what u wrote.. am Truly sorry if i was wrong.. or said something to ofend u in anyway i hope any thign i said will help u? best wishes....

When you eat less, your stomach shrinks, so that you are less likely to feel hunger pangs, etc. You certainly aren't eating enough, so it's no wonder you're tired. If eating is difficult, try one of the high-calory dietary supplement drinks available from your pharmacy. And please see your doctor, you need professional help. Congratulations on realising that you haver a problem, and best of luck.

thanx can any one suggest a diet of fruit and healthy food to eat so i can make my stomach larger? should i eat a little more everyday or do it all at once?

Uh-oh. Methinks you have the same problem as me...umm...how do you make your stomach bigger?
