Dear Blue,
Recently I have been getting a lot of comments about how I have lost weight. I do not really understand why because I have not been going to the gym. Stress has been an issue and sometimes I have to skip meals but I did not think it was enough for me to start loosing weight. Do I have an eating disorder and not know it, or am I really loosing weight for no reason?
Sincerely,
Food is My Friend
Dear Food is My Friend,
Are you purposely skipping meals or just forgetting? Maybe start packing a snack with you, that way when your stomach starts growling you have something to eat. If you think you are in the beginning stages of an eating disorder, don’t be afraid to talk to someone about it. Eating disorders are not something to take lightly because they can really damage your health. Losing weight is not a bad thing as long as you are doing it in a healthy way. Also, start finding ways to distress yourself. Breathing, yoga, meditating and going for walks are just a couple of great ways to distress yourself and unwind. Do not let your stress consume you to the point where you forget to eat. Put it in your schedule, that way you do not forget!
Sincerely,
Blue
