It sounds as though you have taken a courageous step in getting your eating disorder under control and are on the right track to healthier living. I am glad to hear that you are under doctor's care for the medical aspect of your disorder, but as you mentioned, getting over the mental aspect of an eating disorder can be difficult.
Eating disorders are primarily psychological and nature. Usually, when someone has an eating disorder, there is something else bothering him or her. It may be low self-esteem or depression, but the person uses food as a way to try to gain control of their life.
I encourage you to talk to your parents about getting counseling. A professional with experience in eating disorders can help you get to the root of the problem and give you better footing as you continue your quest for healthier living.
Good luck.
No it seems ok to me. As long as those 6 foods are nutricious
This doesnt sound like a eating disorder.
It sounds like your just a picky girl. Hey maybe so stomache aches are cramps when your on your period?
rust me i know what an eating disorder is...its not that
You might have a food anxiety disorder. Bring up that possibility to your doctor.
believe!
i dont really know if im right or wrong here but try some of the new foods mixed with thing hatdon't make u gag and that only if the foods would taste good together if it works happy to help if it doesn't im sorry
go and see another doctor the more points of veiws you see te more of an understanding you can have about your problem, also try to see someone that specializes in eating disorders, but for now the foods you do eat, crush some suplements and add them to your food, this will help you alot with your nutrition, until you find an ultimate cure. also get checked out for (ocd) something happened when you were a child and i caused you to be obsessive about what you eat the gag reaflex could all be because of this (obsessive, compolsive, disorder) (if it is that)
