Am I binge eating?

fitodg

I am a high school senior, 5 9 amd 120-126 pounds. I am underweight and recovering from ED. However, I have to eat lime 4000 calories a day and I find it extremely hard to reach that quantity no matter how many calorie dense foods I eat. So I consistently eat like every 10-30 minutes even when Im not hungry. I do it just for the purpose of reaching my goal. Im afraid it will turn into bingeing even though it's to gain weight.

What is ED?

This is probably a question you should take to your recovery team. They'd know more about your needs and history than random people on the internet.

ED = Eating Disorder

OP, I agree with the above. Your recovery team is much better equipped to answer your question than anyone here in the forums.

I dont have a recovery team. I don't have the money.

Have you tried talking to the school counselor about this?

Is there an ED recovery support group in your area?

Hey OP, I also struggle with disordered eating. I can imagine it's very hard to hit 4000 calories.
Who set the 4000 goal for you? If you can't hit it, I wouldn't try to force yourself. It could make you very sick
Something like 2500 - 3000 is enough for weight gain for an underweight person, provided you don't do much exercise.
