Hi, everyone. I'm just curious if I have
an eating disorder or not. I usually
never eat breakfast...My whole life.
Anyways...About december to january of
this year, I lost about 20 lbs. I was
pretty stressed, and couldn't hardly eat
anything. Well, since then I haven't
gained any weight or lost any...Give or
take a few lbs, but I usually only eat one
meal a day. It's like i'm just not hungry
and if I do feel hungry and make something
to eat, I can't eat more than a couple
bites (like say im hungry for lunch..). I
usually only eat dinner, and then maybe
have a snack later on...Like some jello or
something. I'm just curious as to if this
is classified as an eating disorder. I
weigh about 118...And i'm 5'6. My
"normal" weight was between 130-138. The
last time I was this current weight I
think I was in 9th grade. I am concerned
though with gaining weight...Not overly
obsessive. I've never thrown up, or taken
diet pills or anything like that, but I am
concerned about gaining weight. I mean my
friends and family all tell me that it
looks like i've been losing weight and
that I look good. I don't want anyone to
think I freak out about it, I just thought
that you had an eating disorder if you
were aneorexic (spelling...) or bulemic.
Which I am neither. Any thoughts would be
great.

Hey tiffany, well thats good that you're
not throwing up or taking pills or
obsessing over your weight. However, you
are pretty underweight as you yourself
mentioned. When you say "i can hardly
take more than a few bites when i'm
hungry" is that because you are physically
full or does something emotionally stop
you from eating. You did say that you are
a little concerned about gaining
weight...This could be the first sign of
an eating disorder. I dont know if you
are on your way to an eating disorder (it
usually starts small like not wanting t o
eat and then progresses) or whether you
are just fine and just not feeling hungry
bcause you have a slow metabolism.Maybe
you should ask your doctor what he/she
thinks.
Anyway, take care of yourself, sorry I
couldn't be of more help, and let me know
how you are doing.

Well, you don't seem to have an eating
disorder, but a problem with you
metabolism, so you should check up with a
doctor to see what's happening to you
now.
But i'm pretty sure that it's not an
eating disorder ^^
