I have a fear of gaining weight. I don’t know when this started to become a fear I’m assuming when I was 14.

Continues- I now eat only one meal a day. I even feel guilty about eating. I cry after, sometimes even during. I just know it needs to end before my eating disorder gets much worse.

[c=#7700B2]I had a eating disorder when I was a teen and it is in my opinion one of the hardest habits to break but it is possible if you want it bad enough.
therapy is a good start towards that. A big part of getting myself out of it was when I was hospitalised for 2 months due to other issues. I was forced to eat three meals a day. It sucked but once I stuck to it and tried not to just constantly think about being as thin as I could get, and just start accepting myself for being what I am. it got a tad easier day by day till eventually getting out.

I do hope you get some help before it gets much worse :([/c]

I’m hoping by recognizing it now. I can get help. It’s so hard started out eating two meals a day now I’m just down to one. So I’m trying to teach myself but it’s so hard@PlumBerries

omg.. its a serious psychological condition.. You need to take your mind off your food ..

Are you living alone and without any activity such as work or study ?

You can try blindfolding yourself before eating, and let someone else serve or feed you .. and distract your mind that controls the quantity .. eat like a baby ..

I also think a good idea at least as a quick solution is distract yourself while your eating, keep yourself from thinking about the fact that you are eating

I knew someone who had an ED too, they're really hard to deal with

Do you have a good support network, and access to professional help?

Nutshell29 · 26-30, F

I’m thinking about looking into it. I’m sure people know they’re just unaware @BeefySenpie

That sounds hard, maybe it would be a good idea to seek counseling? If you are in college then the counseling center usually helps students for free.

@Chaoshead Well, you can study so you are prepared for these type of questions. How much study time are you putting into your message posting?

@MarkPaul Uh...

I've been slacking. 😓I got a B on my last exam in postenomics.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@Chaoshead Okay... we'll need to increase your study time and take away your phone during that time... and limit your game playing. I'm confident we can get your grades up. It's going to take work though. Now, give me 25 push-ups soldier.
