Do You Think I Have An Eating Disorder
Posted: 10-26-03 12:03pm

Confused 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...

Sad 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.
