My view-I feel like you are well on your way to having an eating disorder.  Eating three well balanced meals a day is the best for your health. Any thing else can only be harmful to your body.

You may be depressed already and have been for some time and you may not have realized it yet. You sound to me like your zeal for life is very low. That is a symptom of depression. Do you sleep too much or not eat even if you're hungry? There are several warning signs of Depression and a lot of us don't realize them. You're detached and that tells me perhaps you are afraid of getting close to people and of special occassions because you don't want to be hurt or disappointed. I would seek counseling if I were you. There's no shame in it and it doesn't mean your "mental" or that you'll be doing thorazine and weaving baskets, it means there is a chemical imbalance in your system/brain. Millions of people suffer from depression and there are good treatments with relatively few side affects. You may only need counseling. You are losing out on life, Honey and the people that love you will understand. Talk to them! Let them know that you're considering treatment and I'm sure they'll support you and don't let your anxiety get the best of you. Identify the problem, take steps to solve it. Good luck, and have a Happy, Happy Valentine's Day for once! =)

depression.  low self-esteem.  supposedly attention-deficit disorder and hyperactivity (but I personally think that is natural and shouldn't be medicated).  I think the depression and low self-esteem are very real however.

I am a psych major and am currently in a class "addictions and compulsive behaviors" at my college. we actually covered eating disorders last week and i've also been bulemic. what is sounds like is that you're VERY close to becoming or being anorexic. You're scared to eat regular foods that contain the protiens and vitamins your body needs to operate, and it seems like it's getting in the way of your regular lifestyle. What I would think about to help yourself get thru this mental block of healthy eating is that if you keep going the pace you are, anorexia is what you'll get, if not death in the long run. Anorexia is a lifestyle if you adapt to it too quickly and dependantly. It's very hard for people who have the same types of problems as you to go from eating vegatables, fruits, nuts and water to full, healthy meals. Just remember, there is plenty of help out there for you, and plenty of ways to be skinny/in shape/fit without starving yourself and on a constant regimen of exercise, I swear! \n\nIts okay to not eat the 'bad foods', just remember your body needs the 'good foods'! And working out isn't bad, just when you go overboard. Most trainers will tell you that you shouldn't work out everyday and that it's most healthy to give your body and in-between day to help your muscles get adjusted to their new strength/flexibility. \n\nI hope I helped!! :)

i know what u mean! well, kinda, you see, i was like that...ok, i lie, i am like that...and i dont know what it is. counsleing, and crap is trying to help me figure the source, but i dont think it is for beauty, i think it goes far beyaond that by being called fat by my father when i was only 6 years old..then by my sibblings. although i was never fat. i am under my weight now, too far, and it hasnt made me beautiful, and it never will. annorexia only gets you a lot of teasing and embarrassment, and into a deep puddle of mud. i wish i could get help, but all i can get help from is my mom and a youth pastor. i feel lonly and lost, and it is a troubling disease to have. it scares me and makes me sad.

This may not be an eating disorder. She could have a blocked small intestine, hiatal hernia, or a multitude of other medical problems. She should go to her doctor ASAP!!!

Have you talked to a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders? Recognizing your problem puts you on the road to recovery, so I hope you'll follow up with a professional who can help.\n\nGood luck!

Yeah, I've had an eating disorder for 6 years, i'm just now getting help/recovery. Some are just naturally thin, others are suffering from anorexia nervosa. They're in the grocery store because they're planning their daily ritual "binge and purge" session. It's such a chilling thought that people suffering from anorexia would actually compare themselves to other anorexics, it becomes an endless competition. Anorexia, like all eating disorders (the obesity epidemic as well) is the worst form of self torture in my opinion.

To tell you the truth, I'm not depressed right now.  I was, though, very depressed for a long time.  It started in grade school and lasted until just about 1 1/2 yrs ago.  I'm 29 so it's been a while.  I was depressed because I was picked on in school and mentally/verbally abused by my father, grandmother, and a couple x-boyfriends.  I heard them tell me for so long that I was worthless.  I ended up starting to really believe it.  I started counseling a few years ago.  That made a world of change in my life...in addition to Wellbutrin.  Now, I'm with the best guy most women can only dream of meeting.  I'm a lot less shy and more open about what's on my mind.  I used to cry all the time and I don't do that anymore...unless, of course, it's something serious.

Regardless of what we say, you need a professional to help you. that way there is someone that can help you over come your eating disorder. We can tell you what you should do, but that will not get you over you fear. Get a handle on it now before it cause heart, kidney and liver damage or even death

There are lots of reasons why you could have these problems. I urge you to seek counseling and medical attention immediately, because you need to fix your heart, your mind, and your body. I am in no way saying that you're a bad person. I'm saying that you have a problem, you know you do, and you should fix it. Anorexia is horrible, one of my friends had it, and it was a long road. Realizing you have it is half the journey. Good luck to you.

I lost over 30 pounds by eating just enough to get by with. You could try it. Or, my sister lost nearly 60 from a mixture of anorexia and bulimia. Whatever works for ya. For me, anorexia is easier than bulimia...

you're asking the wrong questions... not did i gain weight, but why am i freaked out about gaining weight. i think you need to get some help with this, you are not over your eating disorder.
