Eating Disorders

[spirit_queen]

My lil sis is a stressed sort of person who's very nature is to make a mountain out of a molehill. She skips breakfast and lunch but then eats a HUGE amount after school. She hates the idea of admitting she has a weight problem, or doing excercise, but she obviously knows it.

My mom has tried but failed to get her to excercise and diet continually.

But my lil sis is home now, so I won't mention the possibility to my mom until later.

eating disorders...man..it's liek everyother thing. Like drinking or something

If your counting calories, believe it or not, that's a form of anorexia. Like theres so many forms of eating disorders.

And not all of them develop because you think yoru fat. Their a scary serious thing. It's all mental. And people who think it's 'not serious' or 'they can just pick something up and eat it' is ignorant.

Odd, I just looked on my refrigerator and an add for eating disorder help was there.

Maybe for my mother.. :/

I got back fro rehab a month ago and have been purging alot.

My BMI Is 14 and i feel awful. My Doc has put me on new anti-deppressants which aren't helping and i feel worse. I just feel like giving up on putting on weight.

I'm 13, and i've been putting on weight lately, like 8 pounds in 3 months, is this bad?

I know this topic is kind of old...

I have a problem with people thinking I have an eating disorder, and it is maybe some form of one, but I don't think so. I just think I'm a really picky eater and kind of weird.

I don't like a lot of foods so when I go out with friends I usually get some nifty salad they offer because salad is safe xD, it doesn't touch or mingle with other foods its not supposed too. Plus a lot of foods make me sick, so I eat a lot of soy, and organic foods to keep me from puking up what I just eat.

Even if its something I love to eat, if it looks wrong, smells different, or taste different from the last time I had it, I won't eat it. And I can't eat food if its touching, I just can't I have to scoop up everything touching and throw it away, sometimes I will eat whatever is left.

Sometimes food isn't appealing too me, and sometimes it is.
I try to eat 5 small meals a day, if not then 3 medium meals...sometimes I'm just to busy for 5 xD.

I think some of it also stems from my size, I'm 115 during the spring and summer and around 120 in the winter, not sure why it just seems to be a pattern xD, and people think because I'm thin and because I'm such a finicky eater I must have an eating disorder. But I'm only 4'9 so I don't think my weight is too little or too much.

Is anyone else like this ?
Are there any other people out there who have similar eating habits ? Or maybe its a whole other disorder in general xD ?

Ehh.
I'm a food addict.
Which means I rely on food to kill my emotions.
So while I'm feeling either bored or sad or mad..
I eat a lot..
So yeah..
I'm too dependent on comfort foods that it's become unhealthy.
I just need to remember that food is there for me to thrive not for me to pig out on..
It's only for survival that I have to eat not comfort.
and when I get hungry most times i have to remember it's not because I am actually hungry..I'm just upset or bored. >_<
It's pretty bad..but I'm getting stronger.
Sounds so silly though being addicted to food.

AmericanRag, you are perfectly healthy. I'm 5' 4", and I weigh 110-115. I'm perfectly normal too. You just sound like a picky eater.

I'm addicted to food too, Cherpples. I'm trying to stop eating so much. I eat and eat and eat... Pop is my favourite drink ever - especially 7Up -and I can't stop drinking it. My whole family's naturally thin, luckily enough, but I'm afriad one day my metabolism will just slow down and I won't be able to change quick enough to stay at a stable weight. That's my greatest fear.

Pleeease, Hayley. 115? Try 5' 4" and 125 lbs. -.- You don't need to watch as much as I do, as my grandma slowed down, so will I... after marriage, she blew up like a balloon.

My mom's been lucky, but I have this feeling that I won't be.

Queenie, don't make me smack ya. You are NOT overweight. *grrface*

I'm 5' something, probably 5' flat. And I weigh 170 something. -__- I really need to start watching what I eat..
