Okay so I would like to know if I have an
eating disorder.
- I throw up food if I think it had too
many calories for my body to consume
- I get mad at my self for eating all the
food on my plate
- I nevr eat desert anymore... I feel
guilty if I have somthing that is remoly
close to what we call desert.
- I count calories and grams of fat all
the time
- I exersice everynight I am run all the
time and do core and weights and I get mad
at myself and feel instantly fat if I
don't exersice.
- I weigh and measasure myslef at least
5-6 days a week
does this sound I like I am anoexic or
bulimic?
Thanks soo much

it sounds to me like you are bulimic
because I do many of the same things you
do and i'm bulimic.
I throw up food if I have had too many
calories for one day. I constantly count
calories and worry about eating desert or
too much food. I weigh myself everyday
and feel awful if my weight changes by
more than 2 pounds. I'm not as "bad" as
some other bulimics are and it doesn't
sound like you are as severe either, but
i've learned that it is still a problem
and it still is an eating disorder.

This is what I found out about bulimia:
bulimia, also called bulimia nervosa, is a
psychological eating disorder. Bulimia is
characterized by episodes of binge-eating
followed by inappropriate methods of
weight control (purging). Inappropriate
methods of weight control include
vomiting, fasting, enemas, excessive use
of laxatives and diuretics, or compulsive
exercising. Excessive shape and weight
concerns are also characteristics of
bulimia. A binge is an episode where an
individual eats a much larger amount of
food than most people would in a similar
situation. Binge eating is not a response
to intense hunger. It is usually a
response to depression, stress, or self
esteem issues. During the binge episode,
the individual experiences a loss of
control. However, the sense of a loss of
control is also followed by a short-lived
calmness. The calmness is often followed
by self-loathing. The cycle of overeating
and purging usually becomes an obsession
and is repeated often.
People with bulimia can look perfectly
normal. Most of them are of normal
weight, and some may be overweight. Women
with bulimia tend to be high achievers.
It is often difficult to determine whether
a person is suffering from bulimia. This
occurs because binging and purging is
often done in secret. Also, individuals
suffering from bulimia often deny their
condition.
But just to be sure you need to sonsult a
doctor.
Hope this helps

Okay that helps but hmmmmm. I thought I
may have one but I can't contact a doctor
right now becsau then my parents would
find out becasue I recently saw the doctor
so I will wait then make a phyical
appointment and then talk to a doctor but
I guess the truth is I really don't want a
doctor to help I want to be thinner and I
am scared the doctor will tell me to gain
weight. But I guess this is taking the
first step is knowing I have a problem
right?

Yes, you have a serious problem. You
have both anorexia and bulimia!
Get some help or you'll go too far with
this & wind up in the hospital with
tubes coming out of you everywhere. Is
this what you want? You are going to
make your life a living hell if you don't
get a handle on this problem girl!
