I'm scared i have an eating disorder... or at least weight obsession (ok, that i KNOW i have) please help?


i don't get it.i'm almost completely satisfied with my body.if i weighed like 3 lbs less i think i'd be like perfect for my body type.i'm slim but not skinny. otherwise i'm totally happy with my appearance.i'm 5'3.5" and between 105-108.my ideal is 105.it started with a couple weeks ago i lost about 10 lbs cus i was sick and i was SO happy.(was 115 and went down to 105)but then i was scared to put it back on but then i ate some fruit and ever since i gained like 3lbs(must've been water weight)and so now i'm trying to work it off again.i'm worried though.cus i can't eat without thinking about how many calories there are.when ever i do eat i feel all stressed out about it. and i can't bring myself to eat more than about 600 calories a day.i basically drink tea ALL DAY and then sometimes a bit of "negative calorie" foods.and i go for a high cardio 45 min hike every day.i researched it a bit and i seem to have 2/3 or so symptoms....i'm really freaked out. how do'u find out if ur anorexic?

My best advice would be to go to a doctor or psychologist and nip this in the butt before it becomes a serious obsession.

The vast majority of women, and a lot of men these days, are dissatisfied with their body weight. 70% of young women would like to be at a weight that would be unhealthy for them.

If you choose to deal with this without mental health professionals, acknowledge that 600 calories a day is not enough to live off of, as your basal metabolic rate is at least 1200. You will continue to lose weight, your internal organs will not be able to function, and your brain will not be receiving its necessary energy to function. You will not look or be healthy, and it will be noticeable by other people (and not in the way you're hoping). The fact that you're concerned is a good thing... so get ahead of the problem and talk to a professional.

It sounds not like an eating disorder, but anxiety. You obsess about a few pounds. My BFF is like this. I would ck with ur family doc and try an anxiety pill. I take Zoloft. Its very safe and it works great for me. I don鈥檛 have anxiety but depression. Zoloft works for both. Its is mild and safe if you ever plan to have children.

Good Luck
