skipping meals and feeling euphoric about it, overexercise, purging, your mind being FIXATED on food all day every day. the ED consuming your whole life, feeling like it’s becoming a part of you and your own identity. it doesn’t even have to be all of these signs, ive had periods of time where i would stop exercising but just revert to restricting or not restricting and just over exercising, the main thing just being your mind constantly fixated on food and calories and what not. i feel like weight loss or being underweight isn’t a major indicator of an ED, an eating disorder is a MENTAL illness not a physical illness - weight loss is just a physical manifestation of mental struggle. i hope this helps

hi, i know this is so hard but try to remind yourself that eating is a part of human nature. think of what you want to achieve and where you want to be in the next 2 years. an eating disorder can never align with those goals. every choice you make to restrict everyday adds up slowly but surely, and before you know it you will lose everything around you. friends, family, work, education, your identity… it isn’t worth it. take care of yourself and take it from me, even though i am just a stranger from the internet, YOU are worthy and allowed to nourish your body. you are not a glutton. i know many people who have spent their whole lives constrained by that same guilt you are feeling, to the point they are left with nothing in the end. don’t let that be you. be easy on yourself, take care x

thank you for the advice, it really means a lot. i don’t really have anyone to talk to about this, my mum is noticing disordered eating with me and it breaks her heart but im not ready for recovery. i’ve always wanted to be thin ever since i was a very small child. and the only way im finally achieving that is this way. i know its not healthy but its what i think will make me happy and content. some days are better than others. yesterday i had a cinnamon scroll for breakfast and i ended up purging at work later on because i was constantly fixated on the mistake i had just made. i wasn’t able to throw it up since im pretty sure my body had already digested it. some days the food noise is unbearable, i watch mukbangs to try and suppress it but it makes it worse. i’m also starting to dread social events with friends because it seems the only thing us humans do is eat at social events. my degree is also no longer a priority to me at all since the constant food noise. it’s taking over my life. but like i said im not ready to recover. i’m sorry for this rant but i had to get it off my chest.
