Q. I am a normal weight adult female. I have a normal BMI for my height. I don't obsess about food but I do workout often every day for half hour to 45 mins. I also check my weight ever morning on the scale. My friend thought that was excessive and said I might have an eating disorder called exercise bulimic. Though I don't binge or purge( because throwing up is gross). I also eat three meals a day.
What do you think? Are there any good websites for figuring this out?

A. Just because you exercise everyday does not mean you have an eating disorder.
eating disorders are when your deathly afraid of getting fat/obese and you think your overweight but your not. and you starve yourself and exercise excessively.
What your doing is healthy and normal.
You don't need to check your weight every morning..If you exercise regularly and eat healthy you don't need to worry about your weigh

What are your feelings about your eating disorder?
Q. I am writing a paper on eating disorders and I think it would be helpful to those reading it to really understand how someone feels with an eating disorder. If you have anorexia, bulimia, and/or compulsive eating, would you please tell me how this makes you feel?
A. Since I was little I remember feeling that it was very important to be skinny. I was extremely sensitive about weight. I was always scared out of my mind of being fat. Part of it was because when I was little the meanest thing you could call someone was "mean" or "fat" and I got bullied a lot when I was in Elementary school. When my family moved just before middle school, I had an extremely low self esteem and a fear of being fat... so I was pretty much destined to have an eating disorder. I mean I felt like my life was out of control, and I had gained a few pounds so in my eyes I had to be fat. All I remember thinking was that I could not get fat, that I'd rather die. I remember as I became tinier and tinier that I began to feel a sense of pride over my frailness and it was, in my head, my only good quality. So when my friends and family tried to get me to gain weight in 8th grade. I thought they were crazy. Being thin was all I had, and sometimes I believed that the only reason my friends were my friends was because I was skinny. I honestly believed that my whole self identity was based on being the skinniest girl in the grade. But then my friends basically forced me to eat when I was with them and they would ramble off stupid facts about the effects of eating disorders, and they went to the school counselor. At first I was angry, but it was one of the only time I ever felt loved when my friends were crying over the fact that I couldn't eat a piece of pizza without throwing up. I tried to get better once I felt like people needed me to get better and that I was loved and therefore worth something, but I was so addicted to being skinny. Then one of my stupid freinds told my crush at the time to talk to me about my eating disorder. He handed me a bowl of spaghetti at a party and insisted that I eat it. I insisted I was fine. He was insistent that I was anorexic if I didn't eat his stupid spaghetti. So I ate a whole plate of spaghetti everyday just to try to prove to him that I was not some crazy anorexic girl. Well, it worked. I got 'cured'. But then I moved again, and again, and again. 3 times during my first few years of high school. And everytime I moved I felt completely confused and lost, and even though I've figured out how stupid eating disorders are, I always succumb for a few weeks to the binge-purge cycle of bulimia. Then it goes away and, I always think I'm fine, that it's over completely, until something drives my emotions crazy and I don't know how to handle it so I use my only coping mechanism for a few days. I'm proud to say that it's been 3 months since I last threw up, the longest it's ever been between relapses, and I'm hoping that I finally kicked the habit.
What is the name of the eating disorder where you over eat uncontrollably? And what cause it ?
Q. I think I have an eating disorder. I'm not sure if I'm using term correctly but I need help! Can someone enlighten me with their knowledge on eating disorders and how they are cause or how do you obtain one throughout life?
Well the reason I initially asked this was because my parents are both big in weight size and don't want to be of that same shape. And it's really freaking me out! Like I know lots of bad things come along with eating to much so that's why ask. I want to stay as healthy as possible for the rest of my life.

A. You mean binge eating?
Well, some people feel the need to binge eat for emotional reasons...You're just going to have to look at yourself and figure out why it is you (think) you have an eating disorder.
And maybe it's not an eating disorder, maybe it's just a phase.
