How can my mom think I'm anorexic?

[Anonymous]

I am 30 pounds overweight!!! I eat 3 meals every day and my mom is threatening to take me to the doctors! She says I need to eat AT LEAST 1000 calories per day but if I'm eating all my meals then 500 calories isn't that bad. It's just that I eat low calorie food items like salads and chicken and I work out. We've been fighting so much I don't know what else I can say to her.

But, you really need to eat more!!! Your straving your body ! try eat 1300 calories... If you want message me and I'll give you the formula of how much you need to eat!

To tell you the truth i am way way underweight and a vegetarian and i have many problems but my mom still says i'm overweight. but maybe she is just worried about how many calories you have in a day.

I don't know how tall you are or how much you weight, but you should really do some research if you haven't already and calculate your daily calorie intake. Seems like a pretty low number for three meals...

she can't be serious!!! you should rub her in her face that your BMI is above normal range

I know she needs a reality check! What's worse is that she always tries to get me to eat more even if it's junk food. She'll bring me cookies or a piece of pie and gets upset when I refuse to eat it. What does she want me to do... Be too fat to fit into my house?

It is the fact your not eating enough calories. A person in a coma still burns 1100 calories a day. Your literally starving your body which is storing your fat for survival.

I'll bet you're American, and your mother is trying to make you "normal".
The average American woman would be within about 10 lbs of being obese.

That's so weird. Moms usually don't try to encourage their daughters to GAIN weight.

Wuts ur height/weight?
