How do I know if I have an eating disorder?


I'm 18 years old, 5' 2" ( 62" ) tall, and 103 Lbs. My family keeps asking if I'm bulimic. I don't throw up or take laxitives, but I have taken diuretics (water pills) and diet pills. I don't think I have an eating disorder. I just want to know if I'm at risk of becoming, or I'f I already am. Thank you.

Are you obssessed with your weight? Do you sometimes spend the day eating nothing just to feel thinner? Do you feel insufficient energy? If yes, you might have an eating disorder. But if you eat normally and still thin, it's just your metabolism, don't worry about it. It means you're just lucky!

Be careful with your health whatever you do.
yes, i would think so. most bulimics take diuretics and diet pills. i had bulemia, but i purged. if you cant eat it yourself, get help, wether its a friend or teacher. its nice to eat and not worry about it!
