Eating Disorders...

eating disorders? well.... i used to have a problem but i'm clean now i'm very happy to say! i sorta battled with dilemia *however u spell that* but it wasn't full blown: it was kinda comlicated but i'm great now! but hey fare warning! it messes with u and everything on or in ur body! it's crazy
 
Ever since I was little I didn't chew right. I went to a therapist for a while and it helped, but I'm not all good yet. Nothing serious, I'm just the last one at the table. ;-)
 
I've never personally experienced an eating dissorder but I know many people that have. I have had close friends that have had problems with eating dissorders for many different reasons. One girl did it for pure attention. Others did it to have control over something, when it seemed they had no control over their lives. It was tough seeing them hurt themselves that way but all you can do is offer support and pray for them.
 
I had a problem before, but i am not sure whether it counted as a disorder.
I was pretty chubby and wanted to diet. My best friend was really skinny and recently she'd stopped being my friend. I don't think size had anything to do with the breakup, but it didn't help. My parents started continually giving me lectures about anorexia and other disorders and i always yelled back at them and insisted i knew what i was doing. One day my mum forced me to go and see a doctor to check make sure my health was okay. The doctor said i needed to eat more otherwise i was going to be really unhealthy and stunt my growth. Even now i am 17 and only 5ft. >-< I can't help wondering whether it's my fault i am so short.
After that my parents started forcing me to eat. They wouldn't let me leave the table without eating what they ate. (I think they over reacted really, considering the doctor didn't say it was a disorder.) It was extreamly painful, and there were several times after meals when i'd be in pain because i wasn't used to eating the amount i'd been forced to eat.

I still can't eat what i used to eat, but then again i used to eat a bit too much anyway. But i know i am not going back there again.
And just a word of advice to anyone, be careful if you diet because if you take it too far it can be really painful to get back to normal again. >_<
 
I used to be anorexic, my mum and sister never knew that I was actually anorexic, they thought that I was just a little skinny and didn't eat enough, I used to argue at even eating a bite of food, and I ended up at 6.5 stone at 5'4"
I still struggle with my eating and have to check my weight as often I lose too much weight, and have to put it back ona gain, but my mum hasn't noticed that I still struggle, she has noticed lately that my eating has been pretty bad, but it's a really bad experience, and it screws with your body emensly.
It can stop you from being able to get pregnant, cause certain organs to fail, and many other problems, as well as kill you straight off if you don't deal with it, I know that it may be a contributing factor to the depression i have being so bad!
I hope anyone who reads this that is starting to get unhealthy eating habits will take notice and deal with it now, before it's too late!

I didn't, and now I have soo many problems due to it! trust me, it's not worth it, swallow your pride and admit you have a problem!
 
I eat...I like to eat....I'll pray that God helps all of you to appreciate food....

In all seriousness, it's odd how something we need can become something we don't.
 
im not sure youd call it that....but i did go about a year maybe a little less not eating as much as i should...lost weight...no working out or anything...i guess u could call it that...it sucks....its hard to explain to people...its tough!
