Bulimia

My doctor told me today he thinks I am heading for another eating disorder....and now I feel that he may be a scam artist

He said I am heading for being an "Exercise Bulimic" but I had always been told that the more exercise the better However he told me to limit my exercise to only 1 hour a day.....

This is frustrating since i am trying to lose this final 80 lbs to go w/ the 30 I have already lost...now I found out that I may have only been losing because of ANOTHER eating disorder and I am a bit confused..

So do any of you know anything about "Exercise Bulimia"? if so any input would help me out

(by input I do not mean a definition of the disorder I already know what it is)

i have heard of it, but dont know much about it. How much are you exercising in a day?

If you think the dr is giving you false information perhaps get an opinion of a different dr. I think what they are referring to is someone who doesnt eat and then excessively over exercises.
There is an eating disorder topic on this site and maybe someone there can give you the help you need.

I was told that I had an atypical ED, with periods of bingeing then overexercsing to compensate. I've also used obsessive exercise in the past when I wasn't eating. You definitely can overexercise, but I would seek another opinion. Personally, the first dr I sam identified overexercising as a problem but subsequently, less emphasis has been placed on it as I've been trying to deal with other ED-related problems.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
