Over the last month or so I've noticed DD isn't eating much of her pack lunch.
We've sat down and found stuff she'll eat but even those things are getting left, she's basically eating a nibble of a sandwich or similar and a few crisps.
On talking to her last night she says she doesn't want to get fat 😢 and started pinching her tummy.
She's so thin anyway so certainly doesn't need to worry about her weight.
I asked if anyone had called her fat and she said no, she just can see it.

She's had a rough few years with her older brother, he's got ASD and we had a bad time with him but he's settled now.

Now feel I'm lurching from one mentally unstable child to another.

Jump on it quickly, go to the GP, inform school and ask them to supervise lunch (school nurse/pastoral lead)
Feel free to dm me, I have a child with an ED but doing well, I'll pass on some info and rescources to help you.
