Its like I try to find an excuse to not eat but I know I need to and food and eating is constinly on my mind. Am I getting a disorder?

Replies Anonymous Posted at 2:21 pm on Oct. 30, 2008 MAKE YOURSELF EAT!!!! FORCE YOURSELF TO EAT!!!!! I went through this and lost almost 20 pounds, I am still getting sick from it and that was months ago. It isn't good, it isn't fun, and you pay in the long run. I am not sure if it is an eating disorder or not, but i did the same thing. I never went to a doctor for it though I should have, if you have a hard time forcing yourself to eat, go to the doctor and get help. trust me, it is better to make yourself eat. MixedDelight Posted at 2:18 pm on Oct. 30, 2008 It sounds like an eating disorder. Obsessive Compulsive eating habits are a part of eating disorders. Plus the fact that your mind is telling you not to eat when your body is hungry is a big warning sign. tell me again Posted at 2:16 pm on Oct. 30, 2008 It sounds like it. But I can't tell for sure without knowing how you feel. You've only told what you do. But why do you do it? Are you preoccupied with body image? All 3 previous replies displayed.
