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?

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.
