Othorexia Nervosa?

Yes, orthorexia is a real thing. Though I wouldn't necessarily try to learn about it from a Fox news article referencing an MTV show.

From Wikipedia;
Orthorexia nervosa (also known as orthorexia) is a non-medically recognized term[a] first used by Steven Bratman to characterize people who develop an obsession with avoiding foods perceived to be unhealthy.[1][2] Orthorexia nervosa is believed to be a mental disorder.[3] Bratman claims that in rare cases, this focus may turn into a fixation so extreme that it can lead to severe malnutrition or even death.[4] Even in less severe cases, the attempt to follow a diet that cannot provide adequate nourishment is said to lower self-esteem as the orthorexics blame themselves rather than their diets for their constant hunger and the resulting cravings for forbidden foods. [5]

In 2009, Ursula Philpot, chair of the British Dietetic Association and senior lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University,[6] described people with orthorexia nervosa to The Guardian as being "solely concerned with the quality of the food they put in their bodies, refining and restricting their diets according to their personal understanding of which foods are truly 'pure'." Compared to other eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, whereby people "focus on quantity of food".[3]

The term orthorexia derives from the Greek ορθο- (ortho, "right" or "correct"), and όρεξις (orexis, "appetite"), literally meaning a correct diet. It was introduced in 1997 by Colorado Doctor of Medicine Steven Bratman, to be used as a parallel with other eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa.

I think we are a lot here suffering from orthorexia, unfortunately me. It often a side effect of different things, including the feeling of changing your lifestyle and making a vicious association between your "old" life and certain food, (that you would hold responsible for that in fact)
You end being nazi about the food you allow yourself to eat, for the record, it took me almost 3 years to buy butter :laugh:

My ex mother in law has a scorching case of it.

They are trying to get it put into the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). The time when it gets really serious is when people get to the point that they can't eat anything because they don't believe anything is nutritious/"clean"...and obviously the over-exercise part.

i'm more on the over exercising to be honest, but i suppose cutting out chips, chocolate, crisps, cakes, alcohol and such would probably qualify me for the nutriticious bit. mind i still eat alot of stuff with empty calories and besides my bipolar disorder creates much more problems!

I watched a documentary on female bodybuilders, and most of them were anorexics... they just kind of re-focus their obsession.

yeah we have a c-list celeb like that over here called Jordie Marsh.
