Do I / did I have an eating disorder?

I lost a lot of weight (about 100 pounds) mostly by eating half portions. Then I used to stress about my weight all the time and used to make myself throw up to keep the weight off. My doctor said that really isnt that uncommon and that I don't hav an eating disorder because my BMI is in the normal range even tho its at the low end. even so, a lot of my friends tease me and call me anorexic or tell me to eat some cake or a sandwich and stuff like that. I dont throw up anymore but i still stress and portion and weigh myself multiple times a day. was my doctor wrong? im also a guy if that changes things

well, symptoms like these can lead to diseases like anorexia, and it doesn't really change things if you're male or female. if your friends keep doing that, they're only going to lead you to self-destruction. why are they even doing that if they're your friends? they should tell you to stop being so negative about your weight, and it's perfectly normal for a person to be at the size you're at right now. i'm actually underweight, but i don't have an eating disorder. my friends don't call me anorexic.

i thin if this continues, go see a psychiatrist for help, or someone in the fields of that profession.

honestly, i think you should just stop being osessive about your weight. just watch what you eat and you'll keep the pounds off. i'd rather keep all my fat, happy friends than to keep by skinny, miserable friends. so, if you were fat and happy, then i'd rather have you be my friend than to have you be skinny and miserable.

If you have a psychological need to worry about your body image even when you logically know you're skinny enough, then you might have an eating disorder. Anorexia and Bulimia are just physical manifestations of these self-destructive thought patterns. An unrealistic body image is the underlying cause of eating disorders. Get treatment as soon as you can, it might not seem like it now but once you get into it, an eating disorder can ruin your life and even kill you.

Making yourself throw up to lose weight is an eating disorder. I would get a new doctor. Makes no difference if your BMI is good or not. You can copy and paste this link to your browser for specific on Bulemia Nervosa in males.

If you feel compelled to weigh yourself several times a day, you have an eating disorder. And yes, guys can have anorexia. I suggest you see someone who is an eating disorders expert. It's great that you lost weight, but now you seem obsessed.
