I want to do it the healthy way.

n3verlettingmyselfgo

I think i may have developed and eating disorder, but i'm really not sure. I eat less than 500 calories a day and restrict heavily, and every bit of food i eat makes me feel so guilty. Even a piece of fruit fills me with guilt and disgust. I make sure that every day i burn off whatever i have eaten. I hide and throw away food people give me, so i don't have to eat it, and i've lost over a stone in the past 5 weeks. I'm getting quite worried. I WANT to lose weight the healthy way (although, i'm a healthy weight now, but i don't see it) i really want to do it the healthy way, but it's like i'm scared of eating over 600 calories. I'm scared that i'm going to gain weight, i love food, but i CANT eat it, im not supposed to enjoy it, that's how i think all the time. I

I cannot have anorexia because i'm not underweight, which is why i can't see myself having an eating disorder, help?

You are not underweight yet, your habits are very anorexic you may already have to seek help. Your relationship with food is not healthy love

Speak to your parents and go see a doctor.

Sounds like you would benefit from the help of a specialist doctor and/or dietitian.

The way you think and feel about food is disordered, and being afraid of food because you feel it is unhealthy is in itself an unhealthy mindset. By eating only 500 cals per day you are what would be defined as starving yourself. You are essentially anorexic even though your current weight may not be low enough to formally diagnose you with anorexia nervosa.

Please seek help before you do any irreversible damage to your body by eating so little.

this- talk to your best friend as well- they should be understanding in helping to come to grips with some of this.

Please remember- food is fuel. It's not poison- it's not good nor bad. it's just food. It has no negative or positive one way or the other. Our society is REALLY REALLY big on demonizing or saint-ing certain foods. They aren't good or bad- or anything else- they just are. Don't feel quilting about eating food. You MUST eat to survive- no reason to feel about eating food to survive.

You can do it!!!

They call it EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified). It's a shame that society has labeled anorexia as a disease that only underweight girls have, but even if you don't go down that route, your eating habits are still unhealthy, and seeking professional help is the best route to take.

This! Get help now before it gets out of control. You don't have to be underweight to have an eating disorder.
