Today, I discovered that my daughter refuses to eat, but not because she's anorexic. Apparently, her health class has learned about the digestive system and now she refuses to "take part in something so gross." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my daughter complained that she no longer wanted to talk about poop, as it grosses her out. This is a girl who can eat a rare steak while watching a guy’s arms get hacked off on TV, but poop is where she draws the line. FML
Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML
Today, my daughter expressed wanting to lose weight so I took her to a licensed dietician nutritionist to get her a healthy eating plan, and even made her an appointment with a personal trainer to get her on track. I walked in on her eating a whole box of laxatives, because "this way is faster." FML
Today, the kids in my 6 year-old daughter’s class were asked what they feared the most. My daughter’s worst fear is apparently not werewolves, sharks, monsters or clowns. Nope, it’s "Eating food I don’t like." FML
Today, after it appeared my daughter was throwing away any vegetables in her school lunch, I packed her all vegetables so she would have to eat at least one. Nope! She threw them out and complained to school that "mommy doesn't feed" her. I got a call from the school. FML
Today, I got a call from my daughter's school. Apparently, she was learning about the food pyramid and when she was asked to identify what she had eaten the day before, she said "dog food". FML
Today, my teacher was talking about anorexia and bulimia. Midway through the lesson, she stopped and knowingly asked if I wanted to share my experiences with the class. I don't have an eating disorder, just a screwed-up metabolism. FML
Today, I found out that my overweight daughter’s teacher starved her during a pizza party. She made her wait an hour until the entire class got a slice and their seconds. When it was her turn, there was only one tiny slice. According to her, she, “looks like she hasn’t missed a meal, she’ll be alright.” FML
Today, my daughter came home from school crying hysterically. Apparently, her teacher is a vegan douchebag who told the whole class, "If your family eats meat, they're eating your future!" Now she screams when we eat meat. FML
Today, I felt sick to my stomach, so I told my mother I didn't want to eat dinner. She started accusing me of being anorexic, so I ate a little bit anyway to make her stop. I then threw up, only for her to take it as confirmation that I have an eating disorder. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

No hope for the future. XD

Well, let her... Darwin predicted this: Only the fit will survive. If she can't accept real-life facts, then she doesn't belong in this world. End of story. Extra Note: When she realizes she is getting hungry, and asks for something to eat, explain to her how her digestive system will react after having starved for a short period. And be ready to laugh, when she once again refuses :)

I have a feeling that you want people to die and are a mentally crazy individual who enjoys the misery of others. Get help, I don't want psycho's spreading their shit around.

You are right, I do want people to die. Especially those who choose it themself, like this one does. I don't wish misery on anyone, but I'm also not sheltered from reality.

dont they teach you NOT to become anorexic in health class...

Schools are barely able to teach kids what they're suppose to do. They have scant time to teach what not to do. I guess they could point to OPs daughter and say "Don't do that!". 'Cause even a bad example can be a teaching moment.

I know I'll probably get thumbed down for this but her announcement could still relate to Anorexia Nervosa. Anorexics will make excuses to not eat or cover up the true reason they are not eating. Don't believe me? Go look up the clinical definition of Anorexia Nervosa and read some case studies. Anorexics often find normal bodily processes repugnant such as digestion, menstruation etc. because of the lack of control of the body(the thing they are trying to control) it represents as well. Not saying OP's daughter has an eating disorder, just that in some cases, announcements such as that are eating disorder related.

It sounds like OP's daughter is young (if she'd just now learning about digestion) but that doesn't mean she can't develop anorexia. I started with anorexia tendencies when I was like 9 or 10. Sadly I screwed up my body with it. I really think you're right. It could be anorexia creeping in. If this doesn't blow over soon, OP, take her to a psychiatrist.

Show her pictures of what people look like right before they starve to death. SHE WILL CHANGE HER MIND.

OMG! Make her eat or it might turn into anorexia! Some people's eating disorders start out that way.
