How can I make someone eat, this one is getting me out of my mind for a long time now. Is there anyway I can make someone eat healthy food on time so I wont be worried sick about either she has eaten or not. Can anyone suggest anything PLEASEEE.
Are you TJ’s mom
Hello Aunty
She’s been very bad lately I can understand you being worried about her, I say you make her clean all the house do gardening and wash all dishes. It will make her hungry and problem solved ![]()
Seriously
What’s her age ?

Toro well when we were kids we used to be emotionally blackmailed into eating by our cousins, like ‘this morsel if for your maamoon’, ‘this morsel is for grandmother’…and we were forced to eat those morsels…
then the story telling thing,
and then acting like the food morsel is an aeroplane and flying it into the kid’s mouth
and ofcourse ‘kha lo warna buddha baba aa jayay ga’
and stuff…
but something tells me the female u r talking abt is beyond all this… ![]()
irem thanks a lot for ur advice and yes she IS beyond all that, but despite being grownup and all she dont eat properly, makes me worried all the time. ![]()
lol I know for a sec I was like ![]()
Toro hmmmm u cant make someoen eat when they dont want to, I mean if u cant make urself eat then how can u make someone else eat :-s
I can make myself eat a whole camel in one go, hay u dont want to eat dont eat for yourself but atlease eat enough so the people who care about u dont lose sleep over worrying about it :(
It's not a case of eating "for" someone. Unless you really like that someone.
Help them with the underlying casue. Unless they are doing it solely to spite people in which case they don't even deserve their own nose.
Well, I dont know if this is appropriate but there is a medicine called Periactin - its an antihistamine that has a side effect of making you really hungry. It isnt used much anymore as an antihistamine because it isnt very effective in that respect but it is pretty widely used now for appetite enhancement. My 3 yr old takes it (he never wants to eat due to stomach problems that he had) and it really works. We're finally getting some meat on his skinny little self! They use it widely also for anorexics.
hey toro,
Maybe you should convince her to 'see' some one, like a doc or something. (read shrink) :)
They can help with these kinda situations, and can give proper advice etc.
good luck :)
are you sure it isnt attention seeking?
someone I know Is like that...
doesnt like milk, cheese or any dairy products,
doesnt eat anything sweet, no deserts or chocs or sweets.
doesnt like too much meat.
always complaining of headaches and tummy aches.
its so frustrating
be forceful.. or leave them to it.
thanks for ur advice actually shes been like that since college. Now she is a working lady and DONT care about her food, Thankfully she is eating better now.
