If someone always feels guilty after they eat is it a sign of an eating disorder? |
I know someone who decides she isn't going to eat that day but she usually does. After she eats she always says "I shouldn't have eaten" and then she gets depressed. Is it a sign of anerexia or bullemia? It can be. There are actually 3 diagnosable eating disorders in the current version of the DSMIV: anorexia, bulimia, and eating disorder NOS (not otherwise specified). If someone is experiencing body hatred, preoccupation with calories, exercize, body image, etc., but do not meet the full criteria for anorexia or bulimia, they may still have an eating disorder. How does your friend feel about her body? What's her relationship with food and body like? If she's eating when hungry and stopping when full, that's a good sign. If she's restricting her caloric intake to maintain a lower weight, or compulsively overeating, that will certainly throw off her natural weight (or "set point" at which your body settles). It's a shame our culture makes women feel badly about their bodies... More about ED's: http://www.something-fishy.org/... http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/... No. It is probably someone who is fat and wants to go on a diet and does not have any willpower. No, being fat is a sign of a eating too much disorder and vise versa for toothpick people. Feeling guilty is a waste of time. Tell her she's looking fat and she'll stop all that. That rhymed. if this someone is you. Your probably overweight already. no That behavior can lead to a problem. Does the person need to watch what they eat? Either way, encourage activitiy. If they run 2 miles per day, 6 days per week, they can eat a lot more and still look great. |
