Do I have an eating DISORDER????

[Nick_nap]

Well, I'm fat as hell and sometimes I just cant stop eating. I eat when I'm hungry; but most of the time I eat from anxiety or sadness, or I'm mad or just feal like it. I feel really bad about it and it depresses me because I hate my body, I don't like my self most of the time and I 'm always feeling lazzy. I want to know, do I have some type of binge eating disorder? Also, I really can't get over my lazzyness. I think it's because I'm so fat. I seriously need some self controll and If I weren't so lazzy I could actually do something about it. I want to be skinny by the time I'm 16.(I'm 14 now turning 15 in may):(:(:(:(:(

(But I do look good for 317 punds cuz I'm pretty tall and strong.):mad:

You do not have a eating disorder...but you do need to love yourself first. Treat yourself right. The greatest love of all is to love yourself. You can do this by eating correctly and exercising. Do not compare yourself with other people physically because we are all created differently. YOU ARE CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD. THat means you are unique and very special to him. Keep loving yourself, eat right, get exercise and stop putting yourself down. YOu will then later realize that people will start giving you more respect. Respect yourself by taking care of yourself first. Do not listen to hollywood that tells the world we are no good without a sexy body or if not blond and have blue eyes. To me, a man is measured by what is inside his heart. AND YOU MY FRIEND HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER....but love yourself first.

Well, whatever you want to call this, you have a problem with eating, b/c you're doing it for reasons other than hunger or snacking. You're doing it to soothe yourself, it's like medicine for you. And the amount of food you're needing to feel better clearly indicates the extent of the underlying emotional issues you're struggling with. That's not good (as you know).

I think you'd do well to find out what's depressing you and making you so anxious, they seem to be the triggers for your overeating. Then, you might come up with other ways of addressing and coping with those things that don't involve the comfort of food. A good diet and a sensible exercise program would help, too.

Sounds like a lot for you to do alone, I know, so maybe having some therapy would be a good idea. The therapist could help you do a lot of that work, finding out and fixing the causes for your underlying emotional issues. Once those are addressed, you might find it easier to adjust your diet and lifestyle to accomodate a thinner you!

Talk with your folks about the depression and let them get you to a doc. Your weight issue seems like a symptom of a deeper, more serious problem best treated by a therapist.

As stated above, you don't have a disorder rather an off tone "lust" for food. It comes with the wrong reasons mind you. Though the key term here is when you said you get depressed over the way you look. DO NOT EVER DO THIS. If you feel bad about the way you look, dont fret and feel sad, do something productive.

If you would like some help, since you gave your overall stature, go and start a thing of cardio. The work out will help a bunch, just keep a consistent schedule. Own a game system? Go buy DDR. This is an excellent and very fun way to toss off pounds. Also when ever you get sad or mad find something else to confide in; a stuffed animal to hug or just sit with, or eating something that has healthier properties, such as carrots and fruits.

Sure it looks intimidating but if you truely want results the path of hot coals will always make you stronger. BUT DONT FORGET, if you are going to start a regimen of exercise cunsult your doctor to find what is best, and another idea just popped into my head. Get a tharapist, and I dont mean this in a mean way. You can talk to them and get what your think out of your head and they can help ease off the stress to help you alnog the way. Also seek support from friends and family. If they're willing to do it with you, it makes it so much easier :)

I hope this helps you, as well as the others above me, and hope you get to where you want to be.

Well Instead of eating when ur bored or when u feel like it do something fun that will take your mind off it. If your feeling sad or depressed.. stick a comedy on or go online, read a magazine, go on the wii. It will pass time and you wont want food any more, if you really think your hungry have a glass of water first, if ur still hungry after then eat something healthy. 90% of the time your not hungry, ur dehidrated!

Good luck

Thanks:)

No you don't have an eating Disorder, it's just like that you are upset with something and in reaction, you feel satisfaction in eating more. Carefully monitor what you are facing i.e, issues, and whenever you feel stressed, try getting yourself involve in other activities and stuffs that are interesting & pleasurable to you. Eating Disorder like bulimia for example, deals with excessive weight loss through self-starvation and sometimes through purging (vomiting, laxative usage), excessive exercising, refusal to maintain normal weight, intense fear of weight gain, obsessive preoccupation with weight and shape, loss of menstrual periods, distorted body image and so on. Similarly Anorexics usually think they're fat, even though they're very thin. People with anorexia may get so thin that they look like they're sick. This physical manifestation of harmful intent to self, threatening all-round health and wellness and total well-being is disturbing and also prevalent in the teen population. Individuals suffering from anorexia, go to extreme lengths to keep themselves from gaining weight. Source: http://www.parentteen.com

karel: eating disorders aren't only aplied to not eating or purging.
Over eating, or compuslive eating can also be consitered EDs

OP: it's hard to tell with the information you've posted, but you do need to get a handle on how you see food.
Food isn't a comfort device. if you're feeling upset, you need to vent it somehow, not stuff it down.

About the lazyness, well.... Sorry, but you kinda have to get up and DO something

Maybe it's an unnatural love of food. I have that. And if you personally think it's a problem, go to the doctor. Go to a gym. Do what you think is best and what will help you the most. :)

[BeautifulTragedy]

Dang. Well to me it just seems like you have low self esteem and a HORRIBLE self image. But you dont have an eating disorder.

And 317? Thats not that bad if ya have a little height on ya!

You may have an eating disorder, a doc can tell you.

The key thing you can do is get moving, now you can do many things when on the move,

cardio is the best thing for loosing weight, so go for a walk - pace yourself when walking, do not just walk, walk so you get out of breath when walking.

Once you are good at walking, great get running, doesn't have to be long or fast, go for a short run to start off with, then increase the distance each week.

You could also gor for a bike ride, assuming you have a bike which most people do. Just a 30 min ride is a massive fat burner!

If it's constant cravings, it could be hormonal. Before I get my period I can eat anything and not stop. Did you stop getting your period while you were anorexic? Since you've started to recover, your body is probably craving foods to gain the nourishment it needs for your hormones to return to a normal level. When you start getting your period (if it ever stopped), then you're on the right track.

[ShatteredWings]

the OP is male haha. he's not going to be having periods.

Thanks flying Star, for correcting. However, I do know that eating disorders are not limited to just purging or not eating..Not all of the people who have eating disorders are anorexic or bulimic...Anyway, thanks...:yes:
