Has anyone ever developed an eating disorder?

[arachnid-guy]

Its quite a problem, I've gathered from the media coverage over the years.
And well, to be blunt...I've suffered from mild issues in the past. It comes and goes fairly frequently. I don't necessarially think its serious as I do eat fairly fine. But I remember as a skinny young child at like 10 looking at my photos on holiday and thinking 'I look fat- I should lose some weight.' And I still do, admittedly.

Im just wondering if any others have had this 'problem' and just basically share your experiences, if any.

If there's already a thread on this..then merge or whatever you do.

Would eating too much junk food be considered an eating disorder?

If so, I got one.

 

[Majic Walrus]

I had a friend once who ate so many carrots his skin turned orange. He would only eat maybe twice a day and it was usually something like a ziplock bag of carrots or a cold can of spinach.

 

[Captain Planet!]

No.

Don't say that i eat loads of carrots.

Sometimes, if I feel like I've pigged out too much, I drink 2 litres of water, and throw the lot up.

But do I have a problem? No.

Im not manorexic...never have but I do think I have some sort of body dismorphic disorder. I remember I used to be very gaunt looking and I always thought was some corpulant chubby kid...but everyone thought I looked like some skeletal figure.

Even now, people say Im skinny but I think Im closer to chubby if anything. But I can never give up food...I love it too much ....and bulemics, ugh, vomit does not taste good...how can someone do that?

On the plus side, you'll have great eyesight.

You'll be able to define the exact hue of orange you'll turn into.

Just eat well and vigourously exercise and you'll be just fine.

I could not be a bulemic- I can't make myself throw up. I have never tried really hard, I suppose, but the ol' finger in the mouth doesn't work. Plus, I also hate the taste of vomit.
I forsake my thunder thighs for the joys of good food.

Nice

As long as that's not all you eat. This guy ate like carrot sandwiches topped with shaved carrots and carrot juice.

Well, you are what you eat.

You should have gotten your friend a big bunny rabbit as a pet.

Just make sure you were in the will first.

 

[UA-Archangel]

Here's is the best way to approach eating disorders, I think.

Basically, it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you have a good diet, lots of exercise, and you're taking objective body fat measurements - like calipers, or density tests.

As a male, you should be, for best health, between 7 and 10 percent fat and females should be between 12 and 15 percent fat.

t: I could probably have done that. Too bad he moved away.

Why did he move you ask?

No joke, he became a carrot farmer. Even remembering when he told us why he was leaving has me in stiches...

 

[Lando81]

I eat TOO Much.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

The good (skinny) or bad (fat) kind?

 

[tzarinna]

I'm sure I did when I was a teenager. I looked back at some of those pictures and wonder how was I able to stand on my feet. I was so tiny, practically emaciated. I did skateboard a lot, but ate very little. Not always the good stuff.

 

[AndThePickles]

Nope. My best friend in high school suffered from bulimia, though. It was very sad

 

[CashforStash]

I eat too many hot pockets (if that counts)

 

[Mario_Galaxy]

I've been really hungry lately. Usually I don't eat much in the morning but nowadays I can down an egg sandwich,cereal, and some pancakes.


Mmmm,I think I'll have that tomorrow, actually.

 

[CashforStash]

**** you now cause of you I have a craving for 2 bowls of cereal tommorow

 

[Showtime]

I developed one, but it never went into production.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

In college I had a combination of boyfriend troubles, a stalker, school stress and life stress, and it made me throw up everything I ate, and when people noticed the weight loss and complimented me, I started to skip the few meals I was eating so that I would get more compliments. Eventually I was at about 105 pounds which was about 20 pounds underweight for my height and frame.

Sometime later I got pregnant and because I was underweight, my body reacted by putting on pregnancy weight too rapidly, and then when the baby died, I was too depressed to lose the weight right away.

Sigh.... I am a yoyo

Has Susan Dey taught us nothing?
