Could I be developing an eating disorder?!
Question: okay before I go on, I think I eat pretty normal for any teenager my age. And I am not bulimic and I have NEVER vomited up my food. But sometimes when I'm in class or hanging out with friends, or just chillin and listening to music, if I even think of food or crave food I feel like a fat glutton. And then I imagine myself making myself vomit up my food. So is this a normal feeling to have? Or am I steps away from actual acting out my thoughts?

Are your eating habits becoming a secret? How much or little you eat, or how often? Do you punish yourself for exceeding your self-imposed calorie limit? Do you over exercise? Do you constantly find fault with your body?
Ok, you get the idea. All of these symptoms are the beginning of an eating disorder.
What comes next is poor health, dysfunctional emotional thinking, negative social relationships, and deep heart ache.
None of this is pretty. I am speaking from the position of a person who's mother had a serious eating disorder.
She knew she had a long-standing problem but instead of accepting treatment, she turned bitter toward anyone who tried to help her...even loving family...and especially had only contempt for doctors.
Her obsession with avoiding her definition of "fat" turned her into a scolding self-righteous tongue lasher. It was typical for her to point an accusing finger at everyone else so she could feel good about herself. This isolated her all the more, and sabotaged any support system.
This issue is so serious. To experiment with ED is like dancing on a trap door with a loose hinge. Maybe you will take a little spin in this area, or maybe even a heavy stomp...you just never know when the trap door will collapse. Where you land is an anguished pit of physical and mental disaster.
Please do not go near ED. You are way too valuable to waist your life. I sincerely wish you health, happiness and a fulfilling future.
If you are strong, you can greatly influence your friends and yes, even help heal suffering women.
Thinking about throwing up your food is one thing. Actually doing it on a regular basis is very different. I mean, I've thought about smacking my sister across her face lots of times, but I don't do it. I don't think me thinking about smacking her makes me abusive. Thoughts are thoughts. Actions over a long period of time are different.
yes i think it is a normal feeling to have, and it could be possible unless you don't want to.
