Answers:
I'm like your sister!. I'm actually one year older, but oh well!. I wanted(still want to) impress a guy!. I thought he liked slightly thin girls!. I didn't eat as much, and I was caught doing more physical activities!. Is your sister doing physical activities more often!? Maybe she has a crush on someone!. Another, similar, option is that she is being bullied for her weight!. Yeah, you said she's not fat, but perhaps she feels uncomfortable with her weight/body!. You should try talking to her!. Maybe, with you closer to her age, she'll talk about bullies, boys, etc!. If she doesn't want you to tell your mom, don't!. Try to help her with your own knowledge!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If this has been going on for awhile, and her temperment has changed, she needs counseling, and could possibly be in the beginning stages of Bulemia, or Anorexia!.!.!.!.!.If her eating habits at home have changed as well, then keep your eye on her after dinner and see what she is doing!. Going to the bathroom, with running water noises hide the sounds of what she could be doing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Is your sister eating a good breakfast everyday!? And is she eating her evening meal!?

If she is eating both of these ok then it could simply be that at lunchtime she would rather go play with her friends than eat!. So long as she is not starving herself she should be fine!.

Maybe make sure she doesn't have an issue with wheat or dairy products!. some people just have a hard time digesting them, and it makes them a little sick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ask her!? You asked her if she likes the stuff, but have you asked her why she's not eating it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
