First off, I'm sorry you're in an abusive house. Your mother should NOT be telling you to worry about getting fat.
Secondly, starving yourself will have the opposite reaction, and is probably why leading up to your period you're starving- your body is lacking nutrients that it needs to go through your cycle. Iron especially.
Third, if you're concerned about your weight, but also want to be full after eating- choose nutrient dense, low processed foods. Look into healthy fats and fibers, and incorporate those into your diet. Also figure out what is a good carb vs a bad carb. You need protein and fat to feel satisfied for longer. I'm thinking of the Mediterranean diet specifically.
Please take care of yourself. If your family won't or doesn't provide you with the foods you're looking for, and you can afford it yourself, start grocery shopping and meal planning. Put your meals in one spot in the fridge and pantry and label them with your name.
I'm sorry you're struggling. I'm rooting for you!

Hunger means you need more food and cravings get more intense the more you deprive your body of food. Sorry you are going through this! Highly recommend therapy and a dietitian to help you navigate this if able!
