Really concerned about weight and health, please read?
Okay so here is the thing. I am five foot eight, and weigh about, 116 pounds. I keep getting skinnier too, I have gone from a full size four to a two since college started in September. I am a terribly picky eater. I really can’t explain my food aversions, but it’s like I will gag if I try to eat a lot of different types of food. For example, I do not like sandwiches because uncooked meat reminds me of flesh…etc.
I am getting very worried about my health now. I am afraid I am malnourished and only getting worse. I am tired all day, and can barely stay awake sometimes, and very exhausted. I bruise so easily now, just from wearing a backpack I get severe back pain.
I try to eat healthy, but I live in dorms now and it’s really hard to do so. Between being a picky eater and having limited choice, I am forced to eat grilled cheese, salad, cereal, french fries, etc everyday. It has come down to just eating junk food to get calories from somewhere. But I am afraid of being unhealthy eating this way.
I don’t know what to do. I talked to a doctor once, and she started accusing me of having an eating disorder. This isn’t the case, I am not worried about my size I have always been thin, I am worried about my health. I tried to take vitamins, calcium and a one a day, but I just throw them up within an hour. I am just getting worse fatigue and skinnier.
Any suggestions? I tried eating a different variety, but I don’t have much choice. I am perfectly healthy, no infection or disease. I had my appendix burst in January, and it was an extremely long healing process. It just now finished healing. I think my immune system is weak from lack of nutrition.
Please help, I am afraid of having serious health problems because of my low weight and health.
GO TO YOUR DOCTOR! Seriously, you NEED to take a break from school, and close your eyes when eating new things. Don’t hold your nose, that’s total BS. Try some oriental food, like quality General Tso’s chicken, or start of with some fruit or a VERY fresh salad. Again, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR!!!!
