My boyfriend

[Fiction]

My boyfriend has never really eaten in front of me but i didn't really pay any attention to this. He had also told me how much he HATES fat, and how if he gets the tiniest bit on him he must get rid of it straight away. I had slight suspicions at this point, but still hardly anything. Today i was with him from 10 in the morning to 10 at night. We went to town with some friends. We sat down for a meal... he had nothing. Even when i offered him food, he wouldn't take it. All he hate was a chip i practically shoved down his throat. When we got home my mum offered us food. he declined. He didn't eat or drink at all while we where out and only had a tiny bit of water to drink, and nothing to eat when we where at home. When i asked him if he had eaten breakfast he said he hadn't. I told him to eat when he got home. I asked him if he had and he said yes. When i asked him further it turns out all it was was 1 apple. Do you think he could be anorexic? What do i do if he is?

you need to try to talk to him about this! see why he is doing this and try to help him understand that what he is doing is wrong. and tell him that eating wont make him fat if he works out to counter it. if he works out and eats a lot he wont get fat. he will get super muscular and strong. thats what he wants isnt it? try to talk to him about it and see how it goes.

Anorexia is very complicated and very hard to deal with. As it's psychological where you feel you need to lose weight, where you consume little to no calories. It depletes all of your fat until you have no fat left for your body to consume and that's when it starts to eat that the muscle and can cause a lot of problems in joints and bones. It's very hard to accept that you look fine. Your boy friend may have anorexia, but the next time you see him maybe you could speak with him about his eating habits.

Explain to him your concern for his health and maybe there is something that you two could work out. If he goes days without eating maybe you could give him a very small portion of something. Soup and chips or start off slow with maybe a meal shake that way he doesn't have to essentially eat, but he is consuming calories and vitamins. Just take it slow with him. Just reassure him that you care and tell him that he looks great to you. I hope this helps and I hope you both can work something out.If you ever need someone to talk to I'm always here PM me anytime.

I have talked to him about it. He said he wasn't anorexic, but of course he would lie, or maybe he doesn't even know himself. He does eat a bit but not enough. If he won't even admit it to me what can i do? :/

ok when you do this try to keep the mood light so that it doesnt spark an argument. but what you need to do is try to make him notice that he isnt eating enough. because he probably just doesnt notice it. or you can help him by getting foods he really likes and just bring him around them or so haha
