I have a huge obsessive problem, when I really start to try and control my calorie intake sometimes it is so hard for me to try and make myself go over 400-500 calories w/o feeling so guilty..

I dont know what I can do..

I have a similar problem. I have OCD and even though I am told that I'm not eating enough and should count my calories so I know if I'm getting enough, if I do that, I'll just ed up restricting even more than I already am.

I'm sorry I don't have any advice. I don't count my calories anymore because of this.

I'm not obsessed with calories but I kind of figure out on some days how many I ate. I don't know what to tell you. Are there any foods you don't know the calorie content of. Than maybe start putting those in your diet. Or eat one little portion of a meal that somebody else prepared. That might help to trust your body more than the numbers.

maybe fill all your foods in another container and throw the origional containers with nutrition labels away..I know it may be easier said than done,but it's worth a try...good luck

I think a lot of us anorexics are obsessed with numbers, like calories or numbers on the scale or in our jeans. Numbers everywhere! It's a great way to avoid our feelings when we don't want to face them.

wow,
all 4 of those replies are really good,
i was going to add my own but i dont think i need to.

most days i will binge like crazy, and the days i dont i can not manage to keep above 400.

so its hard to stop myself, as well as force myself at times. its crazy.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
