hi,
i have no idea really if i have an ed or not. i am not bulimic, i dont binge eat and i dont throw up. i am not anorexic. i do obsess about my weight and feel like i am fat. i have tried every diet out there and was doing isagenix for the past year but that is way to expensive. i use laxatives everyday, anywhere from 10 to 24 laxatives a day but they are a natural thing. i know i have gained weight in the last few months and i am stressed over that as well as depressed about it. how can i have an ed when i like to eat, eat healthy, follow the g.i. diet and try to snack healthy? i just know the ideal weight i want to reach but cant seem to do it.
anyway, that was all i wanted to know, if anyone cares to reply.
thanks
always

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
Id' be careful with what you do....my bulimia started with diet pills and a vegan diet, excercise and organic living....but i love to eat....so yeah be careful that you are stepping into a bulimic pattern. pracitce things in moderation so you can have a balance....try to ease up on the laxatives...they strip your body of all its nutrients...
thanks for sharing though, it helps remind me to listen to my own advice :)
i went and looked at your profile and youre really pretty anyway.
honestly. dont worry about it. just try to eat healthy.
thank you for responding though. i really appreciate it.
Read this, okay?
i read it and hmmm. didn't realize all that. very interesting. also the bulimia thing, well i dont binge. that's just it, i try to eat regularly and well balanced, i am just obsessed with losing the weight and to be thin. i feel fat and honestly think i am fat. i assumed the laxatives would help. now i see that is not a very good way to go. i know i am dehydrated all the time and now my periods are messed up (that could be menopause starting too!!!) i am not sure. i have head rushes all the time when i stand up and i am so damn tired all the time.
i think i must weigh myself 5 or more times a day and right now, now that i am up to 118 i am stressed about it. i can feel it when i wear my clothes. first drinking and now this. damn my life seems in such a mess.
thanks for the info. i appreciate it.
worrying about your weight obsessively is not normal...
Ive been seeing a therapist and it is SO freeing to not think about it ALL THE TIME. I still worry a little, but as time goes by Im getting better...
its so much easier for me to say "whats 20 pounds?" it means nothing...
good luck
I have bulimia, and I've read lots on how bulimia affects people. Depression and Bulimia are often connected. I have depression. As well, with bulimia you have negative self views. You can gain or lose weight with bulimia. You might rid the calorues that you've consumed through vomiting, diuretic use, laxative use, fasting, restircting, or over excercising.
So... you may have an eating disorder or the onset of one. You should really nip this in the bud early and get professional help. The longer you leave this, the more overpowering it can be. It can really affect you mental and physical health. Be careful. You're worth it, just like everyone else. So, why not take every precaution necessary and see a doctor?
