How do I get my mom to leave me alone about the way eat?

until about 6 months ago ive been very overweight and my mom didnt seem to care that she took me to fast food every other day. but i realized that shes been ruining me my whole life, so ive been telling her to get me healthy food instead, so its been working and im rather skinny now. but, im a little too skinny, im 15 year old boy, around 5’9”” and i weigh 114, ive been trying to make the weight up buy working out. so far i look better but my weight has dropped slightly, so mom is freaking out saying shes gonna take me to a hospital if i don’t start eating more food, but i eat my required 2000 calories or so, everyday, and i make sure there is a lot of protein in my diet, yet she still insists im “anorexic and need help”. personally, i think shes going insane, but she thinks shes right, any suggestions on what i should do?

Answer #1

Sounds like your mom is just super worried about you. If she does end up taking ou to the hospital, she’ll just end up making a fool of herself because you’re obviously fine. As a 15 year old boy you shouldn’t be calorie counting though, just eat healthy foods and junk foods in moderation, you’re too young to be worrying about calories….

Answer #2

oh i only counted the calories so people on here would know i was eating enough, but thanks for the help.

Answer #3

Your mother is probably worried because you went from “overweight” to 114# in six months. That is definitely not healthy. If that happened to someone I loved I would be taking them to the doctor’s, too.

Answer #4

If you are working out, you should be eating more than 2000 calories per day, especially if you are losing weight. You have to eat in order to gain muscle because it’s the protein in the food that causes that development. Your mom is probably worried because she knows this and because you are so concerned with your caloric intake. Eat something healthy when you’re hungry, don’t eat when you’re not hungry, and work out for an acceptable amount of time (like an hour). She will be a lot happier, I think, and you will see results that you like.

Answer #5

Eat the way she suggests when she is around, do whatever when she is not around.
