do i have an eating disorder???
i think i might have an eating disorder. but not the kind where u throw up or avoid eating. actually i think i might have i think its called a compulsive overeating disorder. but im not sure and i dont wanna tell anyone about it. all the time every single day i have to eat constantly and when i dont i feel really weird. and im not even hungry i just NEED to eat. and well i also eat really fast. when i eat with my family im the first to finish (dinner in about 5 minutes or less) and then i go find more food to eat, and then keep getting snacks and stuff like that ALL day. i eat breakfat, nutrition, snack, lunch, before getting home, right after i get home, and then dinner, sometimes a second dinner, and then snacks until i go to sleep. and when im sad ill stuff my face especially when my parents arent home....and i really dont know why i need to eat so much. im really skinny too. im 108.5 lbs---5'3. this is underweight and yet i always have digestion problems and i cant sleep and i think its all because of the food. i dont really even know. so if anyone knows anything as far as symptoms of any eating disorders or something else that might help, then pleaze tell me. thanx....SAM 14/f

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
Okay, the fact that you're able to eat this much and not gain weight, the fact that you feel weird when you're not eating, the fact that you can't sleep, and the fact that you have digestive problems all lead me to this conclusion: you need to see a doctor regarding a possibly hyperactive thyroid gland! If you ask your doctor to check that and there's nothing physically wrong, then you can think about emotional/psychological issues. First, though, rule out a physical cause.
Good luck and I'd love to hear what happens if you follow my advice.

Well, right now even if you're not gaining weight, you are going to face problems in the future so watch out!
Even though it may seem embarrassing, go tell your parents that you think you have a compulsive ED because it's better than possibly facing diabetes or overweighing later on.
When you want to eat something and you shouldn't, drink water...water, water, water. Drink sips of water between every bite at meals and try to control how fast you eat. Have your mom "close" the kitchen right after dinner so it may help you from getting late night snacks.
