Answers:
No, you probably don't have an eating disorder!.
A true eating disorder is usually centered around troubled body image (or, as you said, "feeling insecure" about your weight or body shape); if you are just eating when you're hungry rather than purposefully eating very little *despite* being hungry in order to drop weight, you probably don't have an eating disorder!.
BUT, if you think you are losing weight quickly and find it odd that your appetite has decreased (ie, you used to feel more hungry and now you have no interest in food), I would definitely see your physician!. You might just be less hungry because the fat or caffeine in your diet has increased (these suppress appetite), but there are a few major diseases that can cause loss of appetite and weight loss (the scariest of which include HIV and cancer)!. So, best to visit your doctor and discuss this with him/her -- your doctor can decide whether any furthur tests are needed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ignore the first answer!.!. Yes eating orders can occur if you are worried about your weight!. I don't know how old you are, but many young women deal with weight issues!. They think they are too fat or too skinny which can lead to either overeating, or purposely throwing up to lose weight!. What you need to do is find the proper diet!. I'm not saying you should eat less or more but I'm saying you need to understand what your proper diet should be for your weight and age!. I'm not a doctor, but I believe talking to your local doctor is the best way to get the answers you need!. They can tell you what you need to know better than anyone else can!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
