Do You Think I Have An Eating Disorder Posted: 10-26-03 12:03pm
I
don't know if I have an eating disorder or
not... The smell of food makes me sick,i
get queezy and don't want to eat i've been
making myself eat though.Yeah I think i'm
fat and i've been trying to loose weight
and I have been cutting back on eatting
more that twice a day...But I dunno. Even
looking at food makes me sick..I feel like
i'd throw up if I ate anything..No one
understands either,i told some of my
friends about and they said I was lying
and that I ate all the time plus them
making fun of me doesn't help much
either...

eating disorders
are such a spectrum. I think that you
definitely are suffering from depression
& low self-esteem, which is a big part
of any eating disorder. Even if you are
overweight, you still need to feed
yourself and have enough 'fuel' to do your
daily work. If you are on a low-carb
atkins style diet, that may explain the
nausea.
Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. Try
to eat well (fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, lean proteins, a little fat, and
lots of fresh water). And try to find
some more supportive friends!

Hey punkrock,
i have def. Been in your situation
before...You are definitely on the road to
an eating disorder. I was in an abusive
relationship and he constantly told me I
was fat and always pinpointed the flaws in
my body...So now im extremely critical of
my body and find myself not eating just
because I feel like I dont need it...You
sound like you have low self esteem as do
i...You need to talk to your parents and
tell them how you feel...I personally
would suggest talking to a therapist to
get this straightened out....Its really
all in your head, your mind is such a
powerful thing...If you think and think
about how fat you are and how something
could be better you will start to not eat,
or as u said, feel nauseous when u look at
or think about food, because u have made
it such an enemy in ur head....You need to
eat though, you dont want to become anemic
or malnourished, I was and it took me 3
years to get back up and am still
struggling at times, so please, dont
starve yourself, go get help before it
gets worst.
