Anyone do this?
Is this considered an eating disorder?

I think I've done this in the past, and, love, it's an eating disorder. When you can't just ingest what your heart and body need and not feel guilty, there's an eating disorder speaking.

Why do you do this? Is there someone at home or in your friend/mentor circle you can talk to? I say that because it's important to let a professional in. I mean, I could give endless advice, but it might be devastating in the end! A professional can really and truly help.

Keep posting, though.
LOVE.
