Eating Disorder Or Not?


Guest mio

Recommended Posts

I'm not at all sure if I have an eating disorder or not, because I hardly ever think of me being too fat. I just seem not to care if I eat or not, and sometimes I eat only a slice of bread for even three days a row or not eat for couple days. There are also times I just keep eating lot of stuff I wouldn't normally even like. Sometimes they come after the other face. I have never thrown up.

Sometimes I eat perfectly normally, and i don't think this is (if it even is anything) the most serious eating problem you could have, but it's not making my health better... and I have noticed now that my weight flings quite much.

I have always been skinny, and as a vegan (only for ethical and environmental reasons, and I've been in better condition after I became vegan) I eat different food (and often do it myself) than the others, so it's easy to eat just a little or sometimes not at all. I don't actually plan my eating or not eating, I might make a delicious meal for myself and when it's ready just throw it away.

It's hard for me to understand why I'm this way, because I might eat really weirdly when things in my life are normally and eat normally when I have difficulties.

I'm confused.

I actually have noticed(/or just admitted) this quite recently, because there aren't "I am fat"-thoughts. But when I think about it, I have been eating like this for years. Could it be this EDNOS? Or is this even anything?

well... I dunno. psychological diagnoses are hard to pin down even for professionals...

If your eating habits are bad to your health, then it is disordered eating. That might not be the same as having an "eating disorder". Either way, it would really suck if you lost your health or even died from not meeting your nutritional requirements, so that's something to think about.

You say sometimes you could go on a piece of bread for about 3 days. Whether or not this is literal I have a question that might help you realize yourself if this is an eating disorder or not.

Is this because you're thinking about food and your weight? Feeling guilty? Or because it just happens? If it just happens, and you're not hungry, I wouldn't consider it anything at all. I'm the same way. One day I'll eat certain foods or no food at all, and some days I'll gorge myself until I'm sick with unhealthy foods. It all depends on your body with this, and not necessarily your mind.

If you think you're healthy, then don't worry about it. If you do think about this all the time, and consider it a problem, you should talk to someone more professional about it.

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.

      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
