eating disorder?

Question

Im 16 and a year ago i started going on my own diet which led to me not eating anything for days at a time. I would get light headed when I played basketball and I almost passed out a few times. This lasted for 10 months. I weighed 133 and Im 5'5'' so I wasnt underweight. I dont do that anymore but was that considered an eating disorder? Its just that when I go on a diet I end up taking it to the extreme. well thank you!

Answer 1

Yes I think you have an eating disorder, ANOREXIA, you have the typical characteristics of this condition... If you want to lose weight or if you want to keep the same weight and not get fat, what you need to do is a healthy diet. 133 pounds is not a fat woman... I would recommend you to talk with your parents and tell them you need professional help.

Anorexia could be really dangerous and you can die of this condition. Please read the info. in the following Links, and please... be smart, ask for help!

Answer 2

Sounds like an eating disorder to me. You are probably a perfectionist or an overachiever, not a bad thing. But you want to do your best at everything, even dieting. You are passing out because your blood sugar has dropped so low. Continuing to do this can cause you to get diabetes, have vision problems, memory problems; it will affect your skin, hair, nails, heart, etc..

You can maintain your weight and eat all day long. It's what you eat! Keep a varied diet. Quit worrying about the scale and start thinking about your health. Fruits Vegetables Lean Meats Whole Grains Don't be afraid to try new things and stay away from the fast food and too many sweets and sodas

Answer 3

Well, it sounds like you have overcome it now, so I wouldn't worry too much. It does sound like you had some kind of eating disorder. This is similar to what I used to do in high school. I would starve for days at a time, but then would end up binging for a day or two and then starve myself again. I would feel quite unwell and my head would feel like it was pounding sometimes and I had no energy to do sports or even walk home from school on some days. I'd probably suggest some kind of counselling, so you understand why you become obsessive with dieting and loosing weight, so that you can be more responsible in the future. Good luck and take care : )

Answer 4

It sounds like you have control issues with food. You might want to consider the fact that you have an eating disorder.

Answer 5

Sadly, that would still be an eating disorder. Even though you didn't become skeletal, you were engaging in dangerous eating habits (or the lack thereof). Glad you're not doing it anymore. :-)

Answer 6

I don't think it was an eating disorder because those take over your life and you usually can't stop on your own. It warps you self image and you always see yourself as fat. as long as you don't do any of that anymore you're okay.

Answer 7

Yes.
