Re: Do I have a binge eating disorder? - May 9th 2012, 06:20 PM

First off, I think you have the wrong eating disorder in mine. Binge eating disorder, in short, is extreme over-eating. You said you barely eat at all, and you work it off with exercise. IF this is an eating disorder, you're looking at Anorexia Nervosa. But seeing as I'm not a doctor, I can't diagnose you with any sort of Eating Disorder. I think that you could have an eating disorder, just by your actions alone. Your eating is definitely disordered, though. I know you want to be a certain weight, and that's fine. Goals are good. HOWEVER, you're best bet is to call your doctor to make sure that your goal weight is healthy for your body.

Secondly, eating the amount you eat isn't healthy. You should be consuming two to three meals a day. your body needs fuel to keep going, much like a car. You don't eat much, so surely you've noticed a decrease in energy? This is due to not eating. Believe it or not, your body depends on food a lot more then you would this. And food isn't terrible. It actually can aid in weight loss. You just have to eat the right foods. Lots of healthy foods. You can exercise regularly as well, as long as it's not excessive and is right for your body.

Is there anything else going on in your life that's causing you to engage in this behaviour? I ask because more times than none, eating disorders are a lot more than just wanting to be skinny. Do you have people you can talk to? A friend? A parent? Or even a trusted teacher? Make sure you're not isolating yourself from people; it makes things more difficult. I know that it's hard to talk, but it helps. It's easier to let people help, then it is to push them away.

Take care of yourself <3
