eating

770635 tn?1237335879 I think it could be related to an eating disorder called pica, which is a compulsion to eat non-food items, such as dirt, chalk, paint chips, etc. The disorder is generally associated with a nutrient deficiency, which results in cravings for non-food items. I haven't heard too much about people's struggles with this particular eating disorders, so I am not sure how long it typically lasts, or exactly how it is treated. Sorry, I know that isn't much help.
Avatar m tn s Anonymous where you will get support from people with all forms of eating disorders. I have 16 years recovery from my eating disorder so it is possible to recover. Part of recovery is learning that it isn't as much about food and weight but the feelings beneath those things. Good luck to you on getting the help you need.
Avatar n tn i tried to confide in my mum and tell her i think i have a problem and she laughed, and said you havent got an eating disorder your eating is just out of control, you will look like a house if your not careful and she thinks the best way to stop me from eating like this is to tell me off.this is the reason why i dont think my doctor would do anything to help me, i just cant imagine being taken seriously.

Avatar f tn I lost connection to this site unfortunately never read any of those response thanks for being consistent and still replying. They only diagnosed her with eating disorder and started meds two months ago.
Avatar f tn I believe that I may be on my way to an eating disorder. I am 34 years old, 5'3" and I weigh 107. I am very petite and always have been. I haven't truely ever worked out, I've just been very very lucky. Even after having two kids, I lost all the weight without doing much. From as far back as I can remember I have always had problems eating if I was overly stressed or emotional about something. During those times, I will not eat.
Avatar f tn how can i can cope with weight changes in eating disorder recovery? I have eating disorder not otherwise specified had it since 7th grade , now 19. Also how can i deal with the sickness that accompanies me after eating.?
Avatar f tn Hi, Im 15, weigh 47kg (103 pounds) and am about 163cm. I have a athletic body, and im worried that i might be getting a eating disorder. My mum says its just how im built, and i'll get better. First of all, im scared to gain weight, and go over 50kg. I know im growing, but i dont wont to gain weight. I dont eat breakfast, sometimes lunch, and mabey dinner. I weigh myself, and if i think im getting close to 50kg, i wont eat, and might do some exercise.
1246367 tn?1271225330 They are about more than just food. Whatever was going on underneath that was fueling your eating disorder is still there. You might want to consider some support in the form of counseling from a therapist experienced with eating disorders. OA is also a good source of support and learning and working the steps with a sponsor. It's hard to do this alone.
Avatar f tn Being fearful of gaining weight and continually working to keep your weight at an unnatural low is indeed the sign you may have an eating disorder. Nobody can diagnose you online but I assume you are posting because you suspect that is what is going on. But you are ahead of the game because you recognize it is not healthy! I encourage you to get some help. It may not be something you can just figure your way out of.
1564404 tn?1295154236 You definitely have an eating disorder. There is something called non specific, where you niether fit exactly into a catergory.Purging is not good for you ,EVER. NO matter how often , its so bad for your body and teeth. I have suffered from bulimia and I know its a struggle. MY advice is to not restrict yoursefl to 300 cal a day or anything under1200-1500. Your body will go into starvation mode and retain more water and food and in the long run it will make you fatter and unhealthy.
Avatar f tn Is anyone familiar with binge eating disorder? I have been struggling with what I believe is binge eating disorder. It has gotten out of control and I am at a loss as to how to stop it. I have gained a horrible amount of weight and am miserable. I just want to regain control and able to cope in a healthy way...
Avatar n tn When I feel happy I can eat a lot of food and a big plate (haha) but when I am sad or depressed I am not eating and starving.. and I loose an appetite. do u think it can be some kind of eating disorder? Also I cant gain weight its always around 50kg.
Avatar n tn hi....Im no expert at all...but I do struggle with an eating disorder as well. It sounds to me like you are correct...because that is how I act and feel as well. I wish that my parents werent clueless and would take the initiative to get me help...because I cant and dont want to do it. I dont have the courage and I dont have the strength. Eating disorders take over your mind to the point where you become so wrapped up in it that you cant physically stop. If you are truly worried about her...
1202981 tn?1265620378 This is a website where people who think they may have an eating disorder come to get help. Vomiting after eating because you feel you are fat or want to lose weight is a very bad idea. It leads to all sorts of medical problems and leads to the development of an eating disorder which means your whole life can become obsessed with bingeing and purging (vomiting) and you are miserable. Just ask anyone on this website who's been there. Like me.
Avatar f tn I'm no expert but I am 15 and I have anxiety and an eating disorder. If your daughter is wise it's easy hiding having an eating disorder. Depression aides the eating disorder (or just makes her feel like not eating). Her trying hard to get protein also goes into having an eting disorder so she can think straight and isnt dizzy all the time...also cutting out meat. It could be medical and an ED, but I'm betting she has one...
Avatar f tn For most of my adult life, I've been on a weight loss & gain yoyo w/ a BMI of 25 to 30. When I set my mind to it, I lose weight healthily (1-2lbs/wk) via weight watchers, but I constantly feel starved & eventually fall off the wagon. I've always (for as long as my memories go back) been inflicted w/ a consistent & persistent large appetite for mostly healthy foods (just too much of them). I previously combated that w/ regular vigorous exercise 30-90 min/day.
6603061 tn?1385316914 However, with that said, low self-esteem is usually a breeding ground for the start of an eating disorder. Let me commend you on recognizing that you are having issues eating, right away and reaching out to this forum! It's extremely difficult to eat while being stressed. However, try something light first. Healthy snack foods are great while you study and you can graze on them to get some nutrition. For example: carrot sticks, celery, salad, popcorn, fruit, etc.
10947 tn?1281404252 Hmm, that does make things very difficult. I'm not saying it's the same with your daughter, but I was also rarely home at 17 and that made it super easy for me to get away with my e.d. behaviors. Like with you, my mom didn't really know if and when I was eating or not eating. You may already do this, but when you compliment her, don't make it based on her body, weight, figure, size, shape, etc etc.
Avatar n tn You also need to see a medical doctor, who is preferably an eating disorder expert, to address any possible medical concerns. There are many forms of treatment from outpatient services to outpatient programs to residential to inpatient.
