Do I have and eating disorder?


I'm 116lbs and 5'10''.

I eat ~300-11000 calories a day. I eat A TON of food sometimes and then throw up. I'm obsessed with the way I look, I look fat in my stomach and thighs. I can't eat in front of people, don't eat past 7PM, and count calories in EVERYTHING.

I'm confused...do I have and eating disorder? Is it anorexia or bulimia?

I'm 17 btw :)

yes. please talk to your parents and get some help.

Here are a couple good articles.....

Binging and purging (ie eating a lot and throwing up) is bulimia, but it sounds like you vacillate between anorexic and bulimic behavior (apparantly quite common.) You claim to eat a TON, yet the highest amount of calories you eat in a day is just one candy bar above a starvation diet (a starvation diet being 900 calories.)

Either way, you're severely underweight and probably have damaged your body in other ways, not to mention your mind. Please tell your doctor.

it definitely sounds as if you do. you probably have a bit of anorexia and bulimia - you either don't eat much or you eat tons and then throw up. Either way, this is very very damaging, and you should talk to a therapist to see how to go about overcoming these dangerous habits. good luck!!!

yea, you kind of have anorexia and bulimia because i have the same thing and its really unhealthy but i can't help it.. people don't understand what its like.. if i eat too much food, i get grossed out and feel like i'm going to gain a ton of weight and i go throw it up. i'm grossed out by throwing up too but i can't help it....

It would be bulimia, because you still eat, but then you throw it up.
And you weigh like nothing for your height.
Im 14, 5'4.5'' and weigh like 150.
Im not fat at all, but im not as thin as i would like to be.
You should stop throwing up your food because the acid is hurting your throat/teeth.

Bulimia.
Bulimics know when they have a disorder or they suspect they have a disorder. Bulimics also throw up. Anorexics starve.
Basically, tell mom and dad.
You're way thin and way bulimic.

You eat a lot and throw up? Sounds like bulimia. You also sound underweight.

yea, and your waaayyyy too skinny for ur height

i'd definetly say you do
get help fast..
