I feel sick after eating

I'm 15 and weigh just over 8 stone, I wander between 7 13 and 8 3.  I've lost almost two stone in around a year and a half, I went through a phase of barely eating anything then managed to get back to normal but I 'relapsed' and started not eating again and it didnt bother me, but it hurt my boyfriend to see me like that, I'm pretty sure I didnt have an eating disorder but I never got it checked out or said anything to my parents, I got out of eating alot as we have a child minder/nanny so I told her I'd eat later and told my parents I'd akready eaten so they never found out, I didnt eat breakfast and I never really ate lunch, I'd hardly eat anything when I got home but i just didnt feel hungry.  after a while though my boyfirend started to worry and it hurt him alot so I told him I'd try and start eating again that was almost 4 months ago but I just feel sick after eating anything really I still try and avoid eating when I can but I cant brek promises to my boyfriend, he's alright standing by me trying to help but anyone got any ideas why I might be feeling sick after eating ? and its eating almost anything....thanks x

I think you need to first get checked out by a doctor to make sure there isn't a medical reason for you to feel sick after eating. I don't know your weight measurements to know how much 8 stone is but it does sound like you are losing a lot of weight. Do you feel fat or worry about being fat? It's not really clear from your post why you don't eat, but I think you need to reconsider your statement that you don't have an eating disorder. If after the doctor checks you out and tells you if there is no medical problem, then you should ask for referral to a therapist with experience with eating disorders. Your boyfriend is right and you need a bit of help with this; you may not be able to just start eating again on your own without some help to see what is really going on for you.

hi,

ermm yea I did loose alot of weight for a while but I havent really lost much since last septembet/october I've stayed around the same weight, but I have days when I think I look okish like not really fat and I have other days when I just think eurgh I look fat.  and to be honest i dont really know why I dont eat, sometimes I can just go for ages without being hungry and other times I'm busy when I get hungry and by the time I'm not busy I'm not hungry. x  dont know if this helps at all xxx x

The fact that you are posting here and that your boyfriend is concerned about you, says there may be a problem. I would talk to a therapist with experience with eating disorders (start with your doctor). These things have a habit of getting worse not better. I struggled with an eating disorder for most of my life before I got help, you don't want to wait that long. You deserve to be happy and to feel good about yourself.
