Data Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 What height and weight are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roses Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 An eating disorder is to do with your attitude towards food. I have suffered with anorexia and am now bulimic. You can be a little underweight and be completely healthy it depends on your build and the sort of activities you take part in (sports, walking etc...) without knowing what weight/height/build you are it is impossible to judge. I would also need to see like a week's worth of food diary. Parents/siblings don't know everything and you should seek a professional opinion if you are worried. If you need to talk I am here and perhaps we could find a positive way forward from this. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roses Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Hi again Fate, I just worked out your BMI and I made it 18.7 which is at the bottom of healthy. I hope this is of help. Like I said if you want to look at how you are eating a couple of days-a week of what you have eaten would be good. I appreciate that your consumption depends on your feelings that day which is why a food diary helps. It is good that you don't want to make yourself sick and that you are eating at least one good meal a day, sometimes two small ones. A lot of people skip breakfast so don't put pressure on yourself to live up to some false ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphyreraine Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I think it depends on WHY you are restricting your intake....I have been eating disordered for years, but it wasn't until I got a diagnosis that I admitted it to myself, now I can look back and see that even in the years leading up to getting help I was already in deep psychologically. My advice would be not to get caught up with numbers but explore the reasons behind your behaviour... If you have an understanding GP maybe you could talk about your concerns with them? Although in my experience doctors tend to focus too much on weight and height ratios without realising that a lot of the damage is done psychologically before you become physically unwell... and you don't have to be emaciated to have an eating disorder.Hope you give it some thought x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just.me Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I don't think you have an eating disorder, those with eating disorders, are fastidious about what they eat. You aren't. My son is 16, leaves the house at 8am and does not eat until 5pm, then only one meal a day, with snacks if he wants. At weekends he eats twice a day, once a toastie and then his dinner. He is skinny, but is not underweight for his height which is 5ft 10". I never eat breakfast, I eat when I am hungry, sometimes that is only once a day, and never a meal, maybe a sandwich.
