Eating Disorders.

what the chipmunk?:

Jane Doe:

^ Yea, that's actually a way to tell if someones underweight. Cos' their teeth may be clean, but your breath will be like morning breath x5.

I was talking about erosion, but yeah - it does make your breath smell like urg (wonderful vocabulary I have). Something about ketosis, I think?

Basically, anorexia and bulimia do nothing for the cosmetic (and functional) futrure of your teeth. :-)

All ED's are bad for practicly everything anyway.

Yeah, they're not called disorders for nothing.

Can someone help me please? im kinda worried im developing a disorder maybe im overreacting but i know mibba can help, right?

I think im fat and ugly, and when i eat (very small amouts), i wanna throw it all back up, i would but i have a fear of vomiting. its really getting me down, i sit with my arms around my stomach all the time and dont wear tight tops so you cant see my fat. everyone says im not fat and try to force me too eat, im just scared incase one day i wake up and im obease. this is really stupid, but can anyone help me of give me any advice?
I will be truely greatful thankkk you

^ My advice is to go to a doctor, who will either diagnose you or send you to a specialist. This process will help you get psychological help, which will help your problem. :arms:

I don't have an eating disorder, but I'm scared I'll develop one or am in the early stages. I'm hungry all the time, but whenever I eat I feel really guilty or sick. I'll also refuse to eat anything unhealthy for long periods of time, but then when I give in, I hate myself for it. I know alot of people who are trying to diet probably feel this way, but I'm really unhappy with the way I look and I'm scared it's going to take over my life. I already think about food and exercise more than necessary. I dunno.

In theory there's nothing wrong with being hungry. You should just eat. That's easier said than done, but if you let yourself go down that path there's no turning back. Most important, rather than simply taking up a diet you should rethink your life-style (which includes rethinking the way you see yourself). You have to work on self-acceptance, but it's worth it, you know?

And compulsive eating is a little more than just being a gourmand. :shifty
It's like OCD with food, you can't stop yourself from eating, you don't feel safe if you don't eat and people who have it usually end up being morbidly obese. A lot of people eat when they're not hungry either out of boredom, habit or just because food tastes good.

So, I've had messed up eating habits for around a year now, but have always been in denial that I have a problem. My general view was that I'm not skinny, so I can't possibly have an eating disorder. :coffee:

I've recently been diagnosed with ED-NOS (Eating disorder not otherwise specified). Which basically means, I don't fill all the criteria of one eating disorder or fit into several different ones.

I used to compulsively over-eat. I was obese from the age of 9 'till around 14, because I ate and ate all the time because it made me feel safe.

When I hit 14 I became severely depressed and isolated myself, to the point where I didn't come out of my room, and subsequently lost quite a bit of weight.

People started telling me how much better I looked, and it's something I quickly became obsessed with. My eating got worse and worse, until eventually I was barely eating at all.

I'm now stuck in a rather horrible binge/starve cycle. I eat very little for an extended period of time, something upsets me or some kind of rational thinking comes in (aka: starving yourself = stupid), I binge, then I feel terrible and beat myself up about it, then go straight back to eating as little as possible.

I hate how it makes me feel. Food doesn't make me happy, but neither does being hungry. My weight stays around the same, because my metabolism is so screwed over that one binge erases any "progress" I make. I hate what I've done to my health, and I hate that I still continue to do it even though I know it's stupid. I just can't stop, and I'm afraid of what being diagnosed is going to mean for me, now that my mom knows.

I do not look like I have an eating disorder, and it's something I'm not willing to admit out loud because people will take one look at me and say "what the hell, you're too fat for that. stfu."

I'm not anorexic, but I do have anorexic tendecies. I'll go a few days without eating, just because I don't feel like eating. My mom is always yelling at me to eat.

Well, I've been considering one.
Not like, never eating.
Just skipping a few days, eat a day or two, skip some more.
I dont know.
When I look at myself, I see this...huge, disgusting, thing.

I hate it.
I need help.
No, scratch that, I need to lose twenty pounds.

^"Considering one"?
Trust me, an eating disorder isn't something you should ever consider. :shifty

It ruins your health, ruins your social life, takes over your life in general, and most definitely does not make you happy with your body. It doesn't matter if you end up 90lbs; you will still think you are a fat blob.

It screws up your metabolism and takes away your ability to eat normally. I cannot eat the required 2000kcal a day that normal people eat to just maintain their weight, without gaining. Why? Because my metabolism is screwed over, and will be for a long time.

There are so many better options. Healthy diet and exercise, for one; you do not know just how much I wished I'd gone down that root. Find someone to talk to about how you feel about yourself; a friend, a doctor, whoever. It's better than going down the starvation root, because that brings nothing but misery.

Heidi has an eating disorder. Makes me sad. Cos' she says she doesn't. But I suppose you can't help people unless they let you in.

I was anorexic from the middle of 5th grade up until the end of 7th grade. My mom never really noticed that I stopped eating dinner, she always assumed I was eating breakfast and lunch, but I wasn't. I lived off of water, OJ, Apple Juice, and Gatorade for that whole time period. Every now and then I'd eat something like rice with cheese or a peanut butter sandwich. Those are my dark days. I don't really know when I stopped it just sorta happened. That was a year ago and I still have small relapses.

My mom is always saying I have a eating disorder because I eat very little (like the same as my 10 year old neighbour). I just cant eat more cause I'm full but an hour later I'm hungry again. and also all my food has to be really small (I cant find the good translation of the word I mean) till it has no chunks (?) and then I chew everything for a real long time. But now my mom wants to send me to a therapist.

^Humans are supposed to be grazers by nature. It's actually healthier to eat small amounts every hour or two, rather than eat three large meals a day.

I don't think you've got an eating disorder; you're just a fussy eater.

I'm not diagnosed with anything...
But my apetite is pretty wonky... :/

I have my periods where I eat as much as my little brother (he's an active 16 year old) and then I have the periods where I just don't want to eat and I don't feel hunger. :/

I have my ups and downs. xP

I also have friends who's suffered or are suffering from eating disorders... not nice... ><

I think I might have an eating disorder. I’m not quite sure how to stop myself from crossing that line and having it become part of my life. Lately I haven’t been eating because I’m either not hungry, or I convince myself I’m not hungry. Some days I will just have a mini bagel, that’s it. Other days I won’t have anything and if I do have something I feel very sick. I don’t want to tell anyone about it. I’ve been putting it off, thinking that it will go away.
Yet yesterday I went to a small café with my friend to just hangout and we got these chocolate drinks. After we finished we were walking out and I had to run back to the bathroom. I ended up spending around 15 minutes in there close to throwing everything up. And it honestly scared the shit out of me.
What do I do? Am I Anorexic? Help?
