-- Posted by pseudo neurosis at 4:47 pm on Nov. 17, 2008 I am very overweight, obese. But I do not believe I have Compulsive Over-eating Disorder or Binging Disorder. I have bulimia and something like anorexia, except I'm not skinny. I skip meals, believe that the less you eat the less you weigh, and binge/purge. Or at least, I used to. I'm recovering. Is there anyone else who is overweight but skips meals, doesn't eat for days even? -- Posted by sisof2cnc at 4:49 pm on Nov. 17, 2008 i used to, its not good for you you need to stop -- Posted by catoman at 4:49 pm on Nov. 17, 2008 umm... interesting scenario you've got there do you eat all day and not have meals like lots of snacks -- Posted by Vbby at 4:49 pm on Nov. 17, 2008 I wish I could go for days without eating. But I do know people like that, excercise is the key. -- Posted by kay dee at 4:50 pm on Nov. 17, 2008 I don't think you would be considered "obese". Overweight, definitely. not obese. Not eating for extended periods of time will hurt you, and make you gain more weight when you DO eat. -- Posted by Anonymous at 4:52 pm on Nov. 17, 2008 Yes, totally! I am the one who gets shit all of the time for not eating, but can't lose the weigh.t I am starting to, but still. I'm not like, obese, but pretty hefty. But yeah, I know what you mean. -- Posted by sykexl at 7:53 pm on Nov. 17, 2008 Makes sense. Skipping meals, generally, tells your body to store fat in preparation for the next time you starve. Couldn't really say about the other stuff. -- Posted by pseudo neurosis at 11:28 pm on Nov. 17, 2008 Quote: from catoman at 5:49 pm on Nov. 17, 2008 umm... interesting scenario you've got there do you eat all day and not have meals like lots of snacks No, I have like not eaten for days and I binge and purge.

I ate, but only one meal a day, typo on my part, sorry! -- Posted by pseudo neurosis at 6:39 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from xsolox at 2:20 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You CANNOT have anorexia if you are not underweight You cannot have Bulimia if you do not purge via vomiting, over exersizing, laxatives. I never said I had anorexia, I just said I would starve myself. And by bulimia, I mean fingers down throat until I puked, repeatedly, after eating, in my case. -- Posted by Kimberleyy at 3:33 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Tbh this is just like me. I'm overweight but idk, i see eating disorders as something for skinny people? I'm a bit of a calorie counter, i count everything :/ and don't like to go over a certain amount. If i go over, i'll make up for it the next day by eating less. I don't go days without eating, my mum wouldn't let me do that, she'd make me eat. If you're suffering with bulimia, i'd definitly go and see someone before it gets worse. Making yourself sick isn't healthy. -- Posted by Catacomb at 1:51 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 good luck losing weight
