eating disorder
okay, i'm not overweight, but just a bit underweight considering im like 5-10 lbs away from average. i eat pretty much whatever i want with some restrictions. i'm not on a diet, but im on like a semi-diet, eating fruits and veggies for lunch and not really snacks. i'm 5'9, female, and i weigh around 145 lbs. i just ate a part of a muffin and i hate myself for it. whenever i eat some kind of dessert or something, i feel like crying and i just want to throw it all up. i am not bulimic or anything, but i'm starting to believe i have some kind of mental eating disorder. i just feel horrible when i eat anything like that and it really bothers me. i just want to throw it up and sometimes i even start crying after i eat it. can someone please help explain what this is?? should i just keep dieting??
thanks!!

Check out these questions and see if any sound familiar to you. You sound like, though you may not have an eating disorder at the moment, you are at high risk for it.
I do strongly advise for you to speak with your family physician about the feelings you have about the food you eat. It is good that it bothers you to feel horrible about eating something like half of a muffin, because half of a muffin is a far cry from eating muffins in excess.

If you don't feel comfortable or are unable to talk to your family physician, the above link is to a site where you can talk to people with eating disorders and get support. You have to make a user name and password to become a member and it is free of charge. I know you will be able to talk to others you can relate to. I just hope somewhere you can find someone to talk to about how you feel, because you are in danger of a serious disorder.

The link above is to a BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator. Put in your weight and your height in inches to have it calculate your BMI. I put in your weight as 145 lbs and your height 69" and it came up with your BMI as 21. A BMI between 18 and 25 is normal, so you are neither underweight nor overweight according to these calculations.
Don't keep dieting until you can get yourself to a point where you can do so safely, when you can a good self image even if you are 10 lbs overweight.

If you go on a too strict diet, that can effect you. Eating desserts or candies once in a while is perfectly fine and you shouldn't feel at all bad about it.
Just don't go bulimic or anorexic and just keep a healthy diet. Don't stress out if you splurge because, hey, we're all living humans and we need sweets to satisfy our cravings sometimes.
