Very Strange Kind of Eating Disorder..need Some Info. Posted: 05-03-07 23:34pm
I know someone who don't eat anything good
for them. they will eat bar b q chips but
never touch bar b q sauce. They will eat
peanut butter cookies but never just
peanut butter. Will eat cool ranch chips
but would never touch the dressing. They
have never ate a vegetable except french
fries. Wont eat meat except fried bacon
and that is about the extent of their
diet. Its like their scared of real
food..could someone give me some

chesse whiz but not chesse slice or a

Well dear i am not sure what a technical
name for it would be but it sounds to me
like maybe they eat things like that
because they are fast and possable easy to
burn off. have you noticed them having a
problem with there weight at all ? some
people belive that if they eat small
amounts of fatty foods tey can burn them
off quicker and not gain any extra
weight.i use to catch myself eating a bag
of chips or cereal over a meal cuz it was
quick and i could count how many calories
i would take in . i hope this helps some
.. i know its not much but thats what it
sort of sounds like to me .
It sounds as though your friend has what's
called: anorexia - restrictive subtype.
Has your friend been diagnosed of an
eating disorder? If not, I encourage her
to do so. From your post, I see that the
extent of her diet could potentially put a
risk on her health and she may very well
be lacking nourishment, vitamins, and
minerals.
I have this type of eating disorder myself
and am being treated for it now. I hope to
hear from you and your friend soon. Best
wishes to all!
