Slight eating disorder

[Megan1]

I have a slight eating disorder. It's not severe, I mean, I do still eat. But sometimes I'll do extreme dieting and get down to only a few foods that I'll eat. And then a lot of the time, like right now, I'll eat normally, but feel really fat and guilty about it. I try to make myself run 5 miles a day, plus do sit ups, push ups, and dance class twice a week. [Edited by Jen: numbers] I'm 16 years old. I don't starve myself, I'm naturally that small, but I still always feel either fat, or like I am going to get fat. I have been dealing with this to some extent since I was 12, but it's gotten a lot stronger recently. I feel really sick when I diet, and I feel really really ugly when I don't. I'm not good at finding an in between.

I'm not exactly here looking for advice. I mean, it would be great if anyone could give me any....But I really just needed to get this out. Thanks.

Hey, first I am going to say you are actualy not allowed to post weight numbers or dress sizes on your posts, these can be extremely triggering. Can you edit your post please, or a moderator will do it for you...I can see you are new, but it does say this in the rules
It does sound like you have some form of disordered eating, i mean, yea its not full-blown anorexia, but now is the best time to get it sorted out!!! You should try and talk to someone, so that you can stop these thoughts, and get on with life. I am sure you are really beautiful and do not need to lose any weight!

Oh gosh, I am so sorry, I didn't see that in the rules! I see that somebody already edited it for me, so thank you!

And thank you. Yes, it's not starving myself or anything, but it's still rough. I have been talking to people about it and trying to fix the problem before it gets any bigger.

Oh lol don't be sorry! You're only new you didnt know!!!!!
I know what you mean, like at first I wasnt fully starving myself, i mean I wouldn't say i was 'starving' myself now! But it is really really really tough! And its good you have been talking to people!!! And good on you for wanting to fix the problem! You will feel soo much better about yourself!
