Do i qualify as an anorexic?!


Question:

Do i qualify as an anorexic?

I constantly worry about my weight, regardless of how many people say i'm thin, and i feel guilty after eating large amounts of food. I even plan to stop eating on a certain day but i lack self control and end up eating any ways. I also spend a lot of time on the internet reading anything and everything about eating disorders. Technically, I have yet to lose any weight do to anorexia, so does that mean that I do not qualify as an anorexic?


Answers:

You hate eating disordered thoughts/AKA, a distorted body image. Consider it a pre-eating disorder, or maybe just disordered thinking. This, too, is a problem. I think you should see a counselor or a psychologist before it goes any further. You have some problems with your self-image, something all of us have struggled with--so don't feel ashamed. But DO talk to someone! You could have EDNOS. Eating disorder, not otherwise specified. Which means basically that you have disordered eating (not normal/not a normal thought process). You don't have to not eat to have an eating disorder. Really.
