I tend to be a compulsive eater. I started in my early teens as anorexic, then I started to like food but would feel guilty eating so I became bulimic.......than I stopped being bulimic and just continued to enjoy food and kept eating....mmmmmmm foooooood. :p

I am a compulsive eater which is a quick fix with dealing with stress but that is why I am overweight.  Being overweight is a cause of my depression and I'm sure part of my social phobia.  So when I am stressing or depressing over my weight I eat to feel happy.  

Doesn't make sense.  Such a vicious cycle.   mad1.gif

I have anorexia. I was once bulimic, then became anorexic, purging subtype, and have been anorexic, restricting subtype (meaning I don't purge anymore) for the past few years. My eating problems started when I was ten, and I'm 27 now. I have had eating disorders for so long I don't remember what it's like to be a normal eater! Probably a lot of you feel  the same way....

I went back and forth between hard-core anorexia and bulimia in college.  That was the only time my weight dropped down pretty low.  Now I'm at a "normal" weight and I guess I'm EDNOS.  In fact, it was hardly an issue at all for a couple of years, but now it's coming back, some days like a freight train.   help.gif  

Ugh.  Can't we outlaw EDs somehow?   mad1.gif

Love,
Em

LOL I wish we could!!! It's awful that even when we think we've got a thing beaten, it can lie dormant for years and then return with a vengeance. I suppose EDs are like addictions, we can go into remission but the potential is always going to be there (sorry I know I am being negative .. i do know, however, that just like addicts many people with EDs manage to conquer them for good)

I'm a compulsive eater. When I do exercise it's not just for my health-I appreciate that it comps for my binges- I've recently discovered that this is a type of purging. I may have been technically anorexic in my late teens.

JO~

I think food is like an addiction, andd being an addict, and I can honestly say that they do compare.

Food is a much weaker addiction to have and it does not give you that high or numbed up effect but you get cravings in a much smaller sense but similarities do exist. :;):

I am like Lizzy--I stick to 'safe' foods as well.  For me, eating is not a pleasure, but a chore--a daily requirement that needs to be fulfilled.

Hi Picasso, welcome to the forums. Sorry to hear your son has anorexia .. I understand that it's getting more common in boys. How does your son cope with it?

Josephine, he has his own therapist and medical doctor who treat him as well as me trying to be his support.  its very hard on him because i am a little more than a little sick and he doesn't think its fair that i can force him to eat while i do not eat the same foods i make him eat.  yes, i'm a hypocrite.  i know it already and don't need it pointed out.  i just do not want him to have to endure what i have for most of my life.  the thought of him suffering into adulthood and never being able to live scares me.  he is so far responding to therapy very well although he still has his harder times.

I am back here after a long period of absence. Used to be Lucky Charm. Cat...hey hon. I just read your posts and I'm glad to see you're still hanging in there. Hope to talk to you soon, k?

I just found this thing again and I'd like to check in and update as I'm trying my damned hardest to recover from bulimia. Recovery is a new concept for me. But in any case...I'm at school, I have an eating disorder therapist, I have friends here who know what I'm struggling with, I will be joining an on-campus bulimia support group this week.

I've recently discovered, only in a genuine attempt to stop the bulimia, just how addicted I am. I've never meant this more than I do now. Going a day, an afternoon, a break between classes without it is foreign to me. I feel like I'm going through withdrawal from a drug. I've already relapsed twice, in addition to some bingeing.  But I'm trying in earnest this time. I promise. I am not promising that I won't mess up, but I want to get better, so I promise that the desire is there. I'm going to post this in the bulimia forum too. That's all for now. Thanks for reading.

Maybe  bulimia? Always have been a "picky" eater. I only like a few things. Is not eating for a day (or two) after a day or two of eating, (not a binge, just eating), purging?   ???

Maybe I'm just strange....I dunno. No matter what size I wear, from a 4-8, I'm always "fat", never feel "right".

It's called... EDNOS (Eating Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified).  You have Disordered Eating, like so many people, and you're sending out an SOS... I hear you. hearts.gif  The question you have to ask yourself, R, is... Are you NOT eating because of your size?  Or are you NOT eating because of emotional issues?  You have to "get at" what makes you NOT eat.  :(  For me, it's both.  I don't eat when I'm upset, when I look in the mirror, (even though what's IN the mirror and what I SEE in the mirror are two separate things)... I don't eat for a variety of reasons... flashbacks... certain smells, sounds, words, and colors can set me off.  

Have you pinpointed your "reasons" for not eating?  It might be the start to getting to where you need to be.  Which is "inside" the heart, soul, and mind of "R". hearts.gif

For a friend of mine (whose name is unimportant), she EATS to soothe herself she says.  She SAYS she eats when she is depressed.  I says she eats to push others away.  It's all about feeling badly about her body.  When she eats, she gains weight... she feels badly about her body... she wears baggy clothes, she perceives others as NOT WANTING HER BODY, as a way of distancing herself from those who love her "in that way".  Her husband... her lover...  This is HER WAY of pushing them away without having to push them away.  Do you see?  They don't WANT her anymore, sexually.  Therefore, letting HER off the hook because she doesn't have to maintain intimacy and put herself "out there" for them.  She can remain 'inside' herself.  Safe, in her own world.  Untouched.  Her heart, her soul.  Her body.  In this way... no one can hurt her... Except her.  Because she feels so badly about herself.  She's doing it TO herself. tear2.gif  It's painful to watch.

But for her, it's painful to watch ME.  So... there you go.

What MAKES you eat "normally...."  then STARVE yourself?  THAT'S what you need to know, R.

sending you only good thoughts... and of course, love and laughter,
Cat hearts.gif

oh... and in answer to your question... no.  it's not purging.  purging is through throwing up, or through excessive exercise.  You are fasting... or starving yourself.  You NEED 1200 calories a day JUST TO MAINTAIN a body in a comatose state... did you KNOW that?  Just to support your organs.  that's what you need.  Think about that.

???   Hmmmm, I dunno the whole story of "why".  It is not because of my size, exactly; it is more of a fear of what size would happen if I ate everyday. Example, if I eat a "bad" food, pizza, I have to "make up" for it by not eating the next day   rolleyes.gif
When I look in the mirror, I don't see what others see.   :(   The why of this is a mystery.  The pickiness is just that.  I don't like a lot of stuff.  Texture is a big deal to me.  I rarely try anything new.  Fruit, veggies and most meats just don't exist on my plate.   no.gif
  Disordered (messed up) eating is the perfect name for my habits.  "Freak"
Thing is, I don't mind it much. It is just when people point it out....hard to explain I guess.
  Thanks Cat.   :)   hearts.gif

The question is... When you DON"T eat... for that day... are you hungry?  Are you going hungry?

For me, I can go days, but I'm TRULY NOT HUNGRY.  I have to force myself to eat because I know I SHOULD.  But Not because I'm hungry. :(  You shouldn't make yourself go without food if you are hungry... But I don't know what the answer is... I know how it is to look in the mirror and SEE something totally different from what others are seeing.

The ONLY reason I know that I am thin is because of the size written on my pants.  And that's the ONLY reason.  Because I look AT the PANTS and they look big to me... I look AT MYSELF and I look big to me... I look in the mirror... and I see BIG, and I hear everyone telling me that I'm small, all the time they tell me that... but I feel big and clunky... and that's what I see... and I compute it on the scale that OTHERS weigh more and that their pants are bigger.... but still... to me... I feel, and seem, and therefore, AM bigger. tear2.gif

It's a sad state of affairs. :(

I TOTALLY can relate to what you're saying.  It DEFINITELY spurs on my fears and has a direct correllation as to what I eat or don't eat... as to whether or not it CONTROLS my hunger pains... I don't have any idea. Somewhere between my stomach and my brain, there is no communication going on.

What about you?  Are you hungry all the time?  Or have you "learned" to go without on those days and be satisfied?  I'm really interested in the answer to this.  Because I wonder if it IS a learned behavior... something we've told ourselves, or what.

when you go without food for long enough, your body will stop sending reliable hunger signals. Your metabolism will actually slow down (the body is equipped to deal with starvation).

I find that during intense periods of restriction, I'm often not hungry, or if I am, it's during the night (and probably when I'm less stressed/less able to mask it). Excessive exercise can also diminish hunger signals.

You really do have to learn how to eat without being hungry for the hunger signals to come back. That sounds really difficult (it is difficult, trust me!). Perhaps all I can fall back on is the old adage: anything worth having is worth working hard for.

Yeah that makes sense.  The body conserves itself when you go without food.  (so I guess that is not a good method after all) That also explains why I'm not hungry.  I didn't use to feel big when I wasn't, wonder why that changed?   ???

Hey Jag, how are you? hearts.gif  You're right, of course... and being hypothyroid, doesn't help my metabolism either... so it's REALLY difficult to lose weight to begin with, put hypothyroidism on top of that, then go into starvation mode... and you have NO METABOLISM at all!

I know that when I DO eat, it's rarely when I'm hungry and usually only when I tell myself that I SHOULD eat.

One of my problems or triggers I've found is that I'm 5'7"... my husband is 5'8"... it's hard not to feel clunky next to him, even though I'm smaller, I still feel BIG... sometimes I just want to be OVERSHADOWED by a man and I just equate that with feeling "feminine". :(  Hence, I end up feeling powerful, manly, and BIG unless I starve myself.... and even then, I hardly ever experience the "waif" feeling I'm shooting for... "Playing the waif" goes against everything I believe in... I don't know why I would shoot for the "outward" appearance when I'm everything BUT that on the INSIDE? ???  Another pschological mystery to solve.

Anybody have any answers to that?  I mean, I go around trying to find women's clothing and they don't MAKE it any smaller than I am, and I'm tall with long legs, to boot... and I STILL come away feeling clunky and statuesque?  Something is inherently wrong with that.

I know that in my brain... But my eyes tell me another story. :(

It makes me sad for myself... I'm missing out on life. tear2.gif

I am somewhat like Dispatch in that if I eat something 'bad' especially carbs, I need to make up for it.  I weigh myself daily and if I am even a half a pound heavier I have anxiety and am very upset with myself.  Today I've been up for about 12 hours and have eaten 1/2 of a hamburger- and was stuffed.  Still not hungry, but know I 'should' eat something.  My husband has commented 'You'd better eat, you can't lose anymore weight'.  But, I'd like to. shocked.gif

I wouldn't know if I fell through any of those catigories. I think I'm fat sometimes, only in the stomach, but I'm skinny in the arms and lets. I watch my wieght even though I shouldn't have to. My resolution last year was to gain weight, and i sucessfully gained ***pounds the whole year. I was at*** and now i'm at ***. Go Me. But now I can't seem to gain any weight, I seem to loose weight in a couple days even though I don't even exersize. I eat about 1 meal a day, if even, sometimes I snack a bit, but watch what I eat. I think I have a problem, I know I already have several, but things don't seem to be getting better.  :(

***edit by I am Cat: Please don't post numbers, they are triggering to members.  Thank you. :)
