Eating less, being able to go longer without eating,etc makes me feel like I've accomplished something, makes me feel proud. Having the least amount on my plate, but being the last to finish is something I strive for at every meal. It is hard to explain, does anybody else have this and know how to put it into words?
It's called the beginning of an eating disorder. You wouldn't know it to look at my fat ass now, but I developed anorexia in high school. I can't even begin to explain how amazing I felt when I skipped meals and how over-the-moon I was when I lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks. It wouldn't have ever ended if I wasn't threatened by my family with a baker-act.
I wouldn't say I'm that over the top with it, on the anorexic spectrum. What's a baker-act?

Basically, it's being committed to a psych ward. 72 hour hold, if you are a threat to yourself or others.

Not trying to be too nosy, just let me know if you don't want to answer, but what made them commit you?

I wasn't actually baker-acted then. They just threatened it. I had been baker-acted before (2 or 3 times) for self-injury. I'm not a cutter or a burner anymore though...so no biggie.

You don't like to think that what you are doing could be the beginning of an eating disorder but when you feel triumph over food like that, it's not normal. It starts small and get's worse over time. Do you think the girls with anorexia nervosa started out starving themselves completely? They started out just like you. Nip it in the bud now. Instead of limiting your portions to that degree, go on the health nut side of it. Grilled foods and fresh vegetables. Let this manifest in a healthy way and not a starvation way. good luck to you. Please don't ignore what people are telling you. Many of us know from experience EXACTLY what you are feeling. it's not normal to feel that kind of triumph over food.
They are trying to ban buying soda from FS
Do you REGRET having kids
