Eating Disorder...?

I don't know if you necessarily have an eating disorder. I eat low calorie like that too, and exercise a lot. If you are going actual full days without eating though - that is a problem because well obvious health reasons, however my husband (blessed with some gene that makes him forget hes hungry) probably would never eat if i didn't remind him either - so you could just be lucky But if you are concerned I would talk to a doctor - just to be safe. Good luck

This is absolutely unhealthy. Don't be scared to talk to someone. They will not look at your normal weight and dismiss you. You know how you feel and you need to tell your doctor. They should refer you to someone who can help you figure yourself out. Good luck!

See an ED specialist if you can, especially if you are unhappy with your body-image, which definitely indicates an ED with your eating patterns. GPs are notoriously stupid about eating disorders and may not give you the help you really need.

If its hard to talk about, perhaps you could print out what you wrote and ask your health care provider to read it.

Hey hun it certainly sounds to me at the very least you have disordered eating if not a full blown eating disorder.

Suggestion number 1: Get rid of MFP OR use MFP to make an active effort to eat a minimum of 1200 calories a day, increase slowly if you have to but I'd suggest deleting entirely. I've been in recovery for 6 years and still need to be VERY VERY careful about not falling back into old habits while counting my calories. Adding friends who DO NOT HAVE DISORDERED EATING helps me quite a bit, as they keep me in check.

Suggestion Number 2 (And more important): TALK TO SOMEONE ! A therapist, a doctor, a school nurse, a teacher, your parents...the list could go on and on, just speak to someone so you can get the help you need.

Suggestion Number 3: Realize a life chasing the unattainable perfect body is one in which you can never be happy. I lost so much because of my ED and honestly gained nothing. No matter how thin I got it wasn't enough.

When you do get help see a therapist who SPECIALIZES in eating disorders. ED's are very difficult to treat and a lot of therapists just aren't qualified to do so. Make sure you get set up with a nutritionist as well. I went into full blown inpatient hospitalization for 2 months until I gained a certain amount of weight after an incident but I was in medical danger and needed to get my weight up, while you may not need inpatient, a partial day program where you have a treatment team and group and info session may be very helpful.

The help is there, you jut have to ask for it. Best of luck! I truly hope you find health and happiness. Life is so much better now that I've recovred. It isn't an easy road but it's worth it

Please see your doctor a.s.a.p. If you're not comfortable talking to the doctor you see now, ask friends/family for reccomendations. You know yourself better than anyone else. If this isn't how you used to eat and exercise and you don't like how this makes you feel, then you need help finding your way back to healthy. I also suggest looking up ANAD on line. (Anorexia nervosa and associated disorders) . This is a organization devoted to helping people with eating disorders. Keep reaching out and we'll keep offering support.

This is coming from a professional in the mental health field:

This is disordered eating, yes. I think you should try and see a counsellor because it is obviously causing you stress. Perhaps a nutrionist and ED specialist would be helpful too.
