first off, i do not have annorexia or bulimia. i always watch what i eat & exercise a few times a week. the thing is, if i do eat something out or fattening, i am ALWAYS thinking about it & cry over it. i know i have to eat & i hate throwing it up, so i do not do those things. i skip meals a lot. what is it that i have?? i think i am afraid of becoming fat but a lot of people say i might have an eating disorder mentally & just don't follow through with not eating//throwing it up. i can't fix it. i've tried & many people say i am not fat. but i think i am & i also afraid of getting there. i'm around 5'9 & 145ish lbs. idk. any ideas??
TARAfying answered Saturday January 20 2007, 11:16 pm: They're right. Eating disorders are just as much mental as they are physical. Watching what you eat & exercising are good! But don't beat yourself up over one fatning meal. You are allowed to treat yourself! 5'9 at 145 pounds is the perfect weight! You see, someone who is 5 ft even is supposed to weigh 100 lbs. Then with each inch you add 5 more pounds. So you're right on the money with that one. You said; "what is it that i have??" and I'm really not sure how to answer that... Honestly I think you are fine. Just stop getting mad at yourself & concentrating soo hard on everything you eat... and I think you'll be fine. If you still feel stressed out by the whole situation, ask your parents and maybe they can find someone to talk to you about it. Nothing to be ashemed of. Good luck!
