Control

I know it's quite obvious that alot of weight management problems and eating disorders come down to people wanting control over their life/images etc. But right now I'm becoming overly controlling, needing to get up at exactly the right time, eat even less than usual, excercise every day or I feel like a failure, like I'm letting myself down.....

It's kinda scary how bad it's getting, it's not even good enough that I control what I eat and when I eat it anymore.

Maybe you should be looking for someone (professionally) to speak to - I mean, if you already had the ED, and now it's getting worse, its always a good thought to have a GP to talk to.

And you know, the less you're eating, the more nutritionally deficient you'll become, and the more obsessive you'll be. That's a proven consequence of restriction/starvation.

You should try to make sure you're at least eating enough protein rich foods so your thinking is more clear. When you're in even a SEMI-starvation mode, things can "get away on you" pretty quickly. I hope you can get a hold of this before it gets any worse for you.

Go talk to your therapist about what's going on. I'm not a doctor but could it be that you have OCD and it's getting worse.

It's not so much OCD I don't tihnk because it doesnt effect anything else. I'm not a compulsive person about anything else, I just want to improve myself way too badly. Want to make sure everything about me is as good as it can be. Thankyou for your replies...

    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...
