I think my mum may be suspicious of my possible eating disroder (i'm not sure if it is or not). It started yesterday when she said she thought i ahd lost weight... which i have. She also looked at me weird when i hesitated on taking a chocolate brownie but i knew i should or she'd be suspicis... but took the smallest one. She said i'd lost weight again today and asked if i'd been on some scales latley... i said no even though i weigh myself several times a day. Later that day we went out for a meal and she tried her best to persuade me not to have the lowest calorie meal i could find. I also said i had a headache and so my dad asked me if i had eaten much today... But didn't say much when i told him what i had eaten :/ My mum also tried to make me eat pudding. She also seemed very suspicious when i went to the toilets after the meal. Does it sound like she may have notived or is it my imagination?

Whether they've noticed your eating disorder, or just think you've been losing weight can't quite be determined. But with an eating disorder like this, and many other psychiatric problems, people are going to notice eventually. Especially parents, since they care about you so much and worry about you a lot. Have you spoken to a professional about your (possible) eating disorder? They might be able to confirm whether you're developing one, or if maybe there's something underneath that might be causing you to lose your appetite, or to motivate you to watch your weight.

But, you're going to continue to lose weight most likely, and they won't get less suspicious when they see you thinner and thinner. You could either keep it more or less a private issue and talk about it with a professional, or you could seek help from your parents directly for your possible eating disorder. Of course, it is up to your situation entirely. If you're against your parents finding out, you might want to talk to just your mental health professional about it, or doctor even, for their opinion. Most of the time, they won't say anything to your parents, unless they have reason to believe that your life is in immediate danger.

Best wishes.

To me, it does look noticing. However, that depends on what your mom really means. Maybe you need to just sit down and talk with her. Might be too personal for you to do it, but at least tell her a bit about why you're losing weight.

You could always try writing her a letter and giving it to her. It's a lot easier to write things out on paper than to physically say them to people. It's not something I've personally done, just an idea I've heard thrown around.
