Exclamation Do i have an eating disorder? - July 19th 2011, 03:45 AM

I would ask if i was Anorexic but i sorta self diagnosed myself as
Anorexic with a binge-purge sup type. This means that i not only calorie restrict but i also binge and purge. I was just wondering if im over reacting and if im normal or if i really do have an eating disorder and need help...
so my normal calorie intake per day ranges from (edited)
Ill fast most days and then when i binge its usually around (edited)
I will also purge after i eat even if its normal amounts of food, if its a day where i feel like i should be eating less. I also workout a lot and try to burn at least twice what i ate.
I constantly calorie count and im part of a "weight loss community" on a website (im not going to say which) where many people do the same.
the reason i ask is because i know i should be eating (edited) calories a day but i dont feel anorexic..and even eating less than (edited) calories a day makes me feel insanely fat.

Well first of all, I'm no doctor and only a doctor can truly diagnose whether you have an eating disorder or not, and I wouldn't call this Anorexia because the definition wouldn't involve bingeing, and a doctor would probably diagnose you as having an EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified) Meaning it still is an eating disorder, but what you do, does not fit the black and white definition of Anorexia or Bulimia. Basically ED's are not just Anorexia or Bulimia, there are in-betweens and they are usually either disordered eating (meaning it's not an eating disorder but could easily get worse and turn into one) and also EDNOS (which means it doesn't fit the exact definition of just one or the other of the main ED's).

Which would probably be referred to as an EDNOS because it does not exactly fit either description to a tee rather has traits of both.

I agree that you don't have anorexia or bulimia. I think you're more likely to have EDNOS. Thoughm I am not a doctor, so I can't diagnose you. I feel as though you are participating in eating disorder behavior. My advise is to see a doctor. They can help.
