It's not on purpose....I do force myself to eat at least once a day, and I've only been drinking water.  at most, I get 300 calories a day(if you include the fat).

I don't get it, not that I ever really have, now that I realize I have one.

it's like, I see food, I want it...and then think "what for?  well, I'm hungry".  then I think "too bad", and just go back up and write on my story I'm usually working on.

If I start losing too much weight(I've already lost 4 lbs in a week.), I may just go to an inpatient thing(if it gets that serious.

my question:

how the hell does an eating disorder pop up, when I am naturally a healthy eater at 6 small meals a day(usually vegetables and fruit for four meals, protein and grains for 2, all in sensible amounts)?

maybe someone might know the theory on it, or at least a link.  I'm not really sure what to look for on the net, other that eating disorders, which usually pops up treatment facilitties than explanations.

You dont have an eating disorder if this has been going on for a week. Sometimes our desire to eat does up and down, its not a huge deal.

haha, it's the first time it's ever been down and I feel somewhat healthy.  usually, the only time I don't eat much is when I'm throwing up(even then, I force a hot pocket...even though I know the result...)

It isn't about food.

hmm, wow.  I never saw it that way.  I guess if it gets bad, I know what is doing it.  I'm going down to go stare at the food cabinet again.  I may not want to, but I may just come up with something just in case.

There's your problem. You need regular meals to keep your body on a constant cycle or burning. 300 calories is awful. Less than 1000 is starvation, a regular diet should be between 2000 and 2200 to keep the body going.
