Does this ever happen to you or is it just me?

Hi I just want to say first of all thanks for reading and seconed of all,
Do people ever accuse you of starving yourself or accuse you of having an eating disorder when you're really just under weight from CF? Or is it just me because I get it all the time when i'm eating at school when I say i'm full, my friends allways give me a dissapointed look and they try and force me to eat or give me a long speech about taking care of myself. I mean I tell them that i'm not doing it on purpose but it's like they don't beleive me. They make me feel guilty about my appetite and stress me out. I mean I really don't want to explain the whole CF thing but I don't know what else to do to make them stop. So is it just me?

Nope! You aren't alone in this front. Almost all CFer's fight with their weight, and peoples perception of it. One woman on this list was called into by her boss because a coworker had heard her coughing in the bathroom and thought she was throwing up her food and was an anorexic. We all battle it. People are ignorant, and instead of finding out what is really going on, they assume. They assume and then they try to do what they think will help, instead of actually having a brain and talking about it to the person. Hang in there. You know you aren't anorexic, and you can tell them over and over. You are trying, you are fighting. Don't give up. We're all pulling for you.

Be well.

people never accuse me of that because I educate them on what CF is.

how are people supposed to know? if i saw me i would think something was wrong as well.

people aren't psychic. many haven't heard of the disease. you can't be upset by their ignorance if you chose not to inform them on what CF is.

i don't ever have people acuse me of being anorexic, yeah i get the occasional skinny joke, but all that's just goofing off, i guess the anorexic thing is just a girl thing, no one ever says anything to me about it and i never hear about it, i eat like a pig and everyone knows it, don't let it get to you, i know it can get frustrating but just hang in there, sorry i couldn't help any more than that.

I'm with Sakasuka. If you want them to leave you alone, I say open up and educate them. If you're not going to, that's your choice... but then you can't be upset when they won't leave you alone about your "unhealthy" weight.

I think it also has to do with the age of kids and that they are jealous of you being skinny. I educated all my friends of what CF was and they still went to the social worker and said that I was anorixic. They just didn't believe that CFers were skinny, or they just didn't want to believe. There are just people out there that need to cause drama I think. These same people 10 years later can't believe they did that.
