eating disorder help online

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.

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.

I wish I had advice for you on the other subject though.It is great that you exercise.Maybe a therapist could help with the eating thing.Again that is awesome that you are clean 85 days!!

HELP!!! I have a 32 month old little boy w/ sever eating disorders. @ 3 wks old he was diagnosed w/ Acid reflux & placed on special formula w/ vitamins & cereal in the formula. His gigging & vomitting slowed down dramaticly. I learned my breast milk was thin & made him vomit due to his reflux. He would spit up so severly that he was have vomit clogging all his airways & have to be cleared to breath.

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.

t know how to ask for help or if I even should ask for help. Asking for help would mean I would have to skip this semester of college and I really don't wanna do that. But if I don't ask for help I'm not sure I'd stay medically stable through May and then I might have to medically withdraw due to Anorexia. I'm so torn through all this. And on top of that, people think I've been doing well so I know I'd be letting them down too. Please help!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Weight requirements are used in diagnosing anorexia, but not bulimia, binge eating disorder or other eating disorders. You may want to visit the bella vita website and take our free online eating disorder survey. And while you are there read about bulimia and eating disorder NOS. Wishing you a wonderful 2013!

Though technically, part of the clinical diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa is losing 15 percent or more of what your normal body weight should be, you do not need to be super thin in order to have an eating disorder. Most of what an eating disorder, such as Anorexia, consists of is the emotional/mental aspect.. being scared of gaining weight, thinking you're fat when you really are healthy, starving yourself or severely limiting food quantity or types of foods, etc.

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.

Dear Summersskin, Being that this is an ongoing issue and that its becoming more and more prevalent in your life it would be a good idea to seek professional help before the situation continues to progress. The Bella Vita has a free online eating disorder survey that can help you determine what stage you are at and what treatment options are available to you. With proper help and treatment your life can be so much more than constantly planning your next diet.

I would suggest that you seek out help. If there are other stressors in your life, you may be focusing on the food/weight things to distract yourself. Talk to a mentour in your life, or seek out counseling. Its always important to get help right away. Keep me posted, be blessed. Remember whats important in your life, and health should be at the very top. Hang in there!

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.

Charohutch, please do not trust your judgement when it comes to making food intake decisions and don't believe for a moment you can just manage this disorder on your own. pixieinlibraryland is spot on! If you want to have a healthy and "normal" life, you need to "surrender" and come forth with this in the open and let your parents help you get the professional guidance and support you need to fight this successfully.
