How can I get her to stop? I'm 17 yrs old and I'm pretty sure my body tells me when I'm hungry. She's at work right now and over messenger she asked if I ate dinner I said no I'm not hungry, I feel full right now and I don't feel like feeling sick from over eating. I'm 5'6 and 105 pounds and I'm not anorexic I just don't eat very much cause I don't feel hungry a lot. Now she's yelling at me saying that I can't go out with my friends this weekend if I don't eat dinner, I feel like lying to her about eating now cause shes so uptight about it, I'm 17 yrs old going to be 18 this march!!!!!

Talk it over with the other parent, if there is one, or with her. Just say your feelings.

If you're hungry, your body will let you know. It sounds more like not having an appetite, rather than not being hungry, though. Are you eating breakfast or lunch? Are you eating small snacks and drinking a lot of Coke and energy drinks during the day, instead of actual meals and water? Do you exercise? Taking any kind of medication? Sorry for all the questions, but there are quite a few possible reasons for feeling full without having eaten dinner.
I don't know your situation, but it might also be stress or anxiety causing you to not want to eat. If you say you don't eat very much cause you don't feel hungry, which I take to mean that not eating is pretty normal, it's going to catch up with you sooner or later, mentally and physically.
If you don't eat like you should for a long period of time, your metabolism will slow and your body will start to actually store fat. So you'll keep fat but lose muscle. Not eating will also make your mind weak. Your mom is probably just concerned and doing what she thinks she needs to do.
I would talk to her, openly and honestly. She probably wants you to do that anyway.

You might have a medical condition. Go see a Dr perhaps a neurologist or someone who can test you out.
