I Don't Know If I'm Okay.. Do I Have An Eatting Disorder??? Posted: 10-23-04 20:16pm
This may seem like a really stupid
question.. But I really don't know if I
have an eatting disorder. I"m not
overweight, but i'm not nearly as skinny
as i'd like to be.. I look like a normal
healthy weight.. But inside my mind all I
think about is food, and how I don't want
to eat it.. Just how I want to lose
weight. I started purging, and I go days
without eatting.. .But then I feel like
i'm not out of control because I feel like
I can stop the purging but I can't make my
mind stop thinking about being skinny.
I've been going through this cycle for
about a year or 2, but I haven't lost any
weight. So I just don't know.. Should I
be worried about it.. Or is this just
something all women struggle with.. ???
But yeah.. I also watched a movie about a
girl w/ anorexia and in some sick kind of
way it kinda fueled my fire to not eat...

It's not a stupid question, I totally
understand how you feel. I had weight
issues my entire life. With help from my
parents,i was convinced over the years
that I need to lose weight. But according
to the bmi chart I am at healthy weight.
Your eating habits sound a lot like mine.
I've been trying out diets, starving,
vomiting and other purging ways. At some
points I lost weight, at some points I
gained a pound. My mom said I look like I
put on a little weight yesterday, which I
didnt (i know because I weigh myself every
15 minutes of the day) so I purged thru
omitting my insulin (im diabetic) and felt
sick in the morning and threw up, and lost
about 5 pounds in one night. Dont get the
wrong idea, I felt so gross and my throat
stung so much. But to answer ur question,
I think it's called ednos - eating
disorder not other specified. U can find
out more about it on the web or google.Com
or something. Hope that helps.
