Eating disorder?, Anyone ever had one? Options

[eli5e]

NOPE.. .but ppl think/thought i did =P -___-

[heyyfrankie]

no. not really. but sometimes i over eat!

and fyi, sometimes guys have eating disorders, too!

[HoodieObsessed]

Umm... did anyone get that? I didn't...   

nope...I didn't...lol

ya, but anwyays, no, I ahvn't had an eating disorder...if I wantd to tho it would be easy...I'm fien beign hungry, I'm serius, I can go without eating breakfest or lunch and not care about the pit in ym stomach, it doens't bother me, but ya, I make sure I eat resnobly, it's good not to eat to much but it's worse to eat too little....I jsut try to eat enough to get rid of hte put in my stomach but not be stuffed, that's the helthy way to do it...an doh ya, eating healthy food is good too, but the amount you eat is mreo important if you want to lose weight....

...and excercise is great too...

You don't "think" about developing an ED. You THINK about bingeing and purging, and starving yourself. Once it starts to get out of your control.. then it's an ED.

I voted "yes, but not anymore." I was (and I'm very proud of this WAS) a diagnosed bulimic. It took me a while but I got back on track. It took a few hospital visits and a nutritionist.. but I did it. I'm so proud. And I eat regularly and healthy now. I'm 150lbs and very proud... sometimes.

[FLIPxADDICTION]

i can't live without food.

PLEASE READ

Look, I dont think a lot of you reaise there is more to eating disorders than starving your self. I mean, an eating disorder is described by any extreme eating habits. Like fear of eating and gaining any weight (anorezia) then people who stuff them selves full of food then make themselves throw up (bulemia) and there there are emotional eaters, or people who eat whenever they are upset, whether physically with themselves, or because of stress or whatever. Theres alos eating disorders that arent defined by a name, but still considered a disorder...I like obsessive dieting ie today I'm staring a diet when I eat nothing but oranges and greapfruit juice. Then a week later its today I'm eating nothing but bread and water. They jump from one diet to the other, continuously giving up and finding failure. there are exercise addicts, the people who exercise to burn more than about 1000 calories a day, and/or people who eat minimal calories (lets say, 750 a day) and then burn more than that, so basically they are depriving there bodies of everything. There are fasters, people who dont continuously starve themselves, but do a fast, like only water for 30 days. <---that can be good for your body and everything, but these people do it all the time. Its always a new fast. So yeah. But whenever food controls one or more aspects of your life (aside from keeping you alive) it is a disorder. trust me, I would know. I suffer from lots of those all the time. The only ones I never really had a problem with was anorexia and bulimia. I just used to fast like one week out of every month. then I would limit my calorie intake to below 700 cals a day...I would plan out my food for the week, having different cals and foods allowed for every day. It I screwed up, I had to take off one thing for the next day. And I would always fail and eat too much, and end up hating myself later. But, I kinda have t live with that. Thats the type of person I am. I dont strive for perfection, and I dont LIKE depriving myself, but I always feel huge (all of my friends are like, size 4 or smaller) cuz I'm a size ten, and I'm just tired of being bigger than everyone else. I gotta work on it, and its a lot better. But remember, a lot of you are in the prime age when eating disorders start. so many of you worship Paris Hilton, and will want to be like that, and start going down extremem paths. Please take care of yourself. And to all of those that dont have eating problems, good for you. Be healthy everybidy!!

[*salcha*]

nope.
i eat a lot though...

[Nicolatofu]

no. not really. but sometimes i over eat!

and fyi, sometimes guys have eating disorders, too!

haha I originally had this in the girls locker, so my audience was directed towards the females. And sorry if I made it unclear, but an eating disorder isn't only starving yourself.. there are many forms of eating disorders.
Many people consider eating disorders to solve their problems, which is what i meant by thinking about it, but I agree, perfectxflaw23, some people don't realize they have it.

[mownkay]

nope.. im a guy. and i havent heard of many anorexic guys..

[Teesa]

no, I eat so much.
but I kind of used to be obsessed, like my freshman year I used to count calories all the time.

[xTINAA]

No I haven't had an eating disorder. I don't think I could have one because I love food way to much to give it up. Plus I'm not that obsessive about my weight or anything. I mean I'm not skinny but I'm not fat and I couldn't care less since there are so many other things going on in life.

[Weird_I_Know]

I lurv food but I usually skip breakfast cus its too early and lunch cus I'm just not hungry, however I snack and eat dinner, I dunno, weird foodness
and my friend throws up her food, we're trying to get her to stop, shes 91 lbs and in the 8th grade!, shes happy when she can break 100lbs but then it just goes back down again, thats not right....

[shortiiex]

tried it but it turns out i can't resist food
but long time ago..ppl said i was anerexic b/c i never ate.....i just hated food long time ago

[Jane Doe.]

I have disordered eating. But I don't have an eating disorder.

....

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

No I don't

[xosteffanator]

My older sister did...but i don't wanna talk about it

[racoons > you]

personally, no i havent.

although, someone did tell me i dhad the legs ofan anorexic the orther day. i wa slike no. i have the legs of a skinny person, thanks.

ANYWAY

i do have a friend who is currenty dealing with anorexia, and it isnt fun. peopl eneed to realize that people DO NOT just do it for attention. it is a mental problem, and it requires support, and love to get people through it. DOBNT bitch about your friend wor whoever behind their back. help them deal with it.

[sillakilla220]

I am a guy... and I DO have an eating disorder... for sum reason anytime i smoke a blunt i will just eat and eat and eat until my stomach feels like it is gonna rupture... for example last night i rolled up my finest Cali Kush and took a fat blunt to the head... shortly after i proceeded to eat a can of pringles, pint of ben + jerry's Phish Food ice cream, 3 slices of meat-lovers pizza, and then washed it down w/ a 2 liter coke... damn why cant i stop these unhealthy ways????

[angelrevelation]

i never have... but i kind of want to have one, but then i don't. because it's an effective way to lose weight, but definitely not worth the consequences.

but during the summer or long breaks... most days i don't have breakfast cuz i wake up too late. and during those times sometimes i'm never hungry till like 1 or 2 pm (and i'd wake up at around 12 noon)

i know lots of girls who have/had eating disorders. it's so sad. and some of them are like... gorgeous too

[maryissa]

I never had a eating disorder. I'm skinny, but i dont have one. But sometimes i feel like i eat to much then other times i feel like i eat too little. But i dont have an eating diorder nor do i want to have one.

[*ranniel*]

nope, don't have one. thank God!
well sometimes, I over eat but don't get fat. I wish I could get more fat, so I wish temporarily that I had a eating disorder for over eating.

[much2muse]

nope. ive never even dieted. im not overweight or anything. but i loveee food. whenever im hungry (or sometimes not.. lol) i eat. food is good. yes.

[Retrogressive]

I think I might have an eating disorder.

You "think" you do?
Hrm, well I don't know how that works.

[yummy_delight]

I did.

It was the worst 4 months of my life.

I try not to think about it.

[*chaneun*]

i made myself throw up like a month ago. it was because i "overate"

i dont want to do it ever again. ever.
