Is this an eating disorder?

i feel a little out of place here as im usually in the self harm section... but anyways.

i spend a lot of time hating myself. at school or in public i am constantly looking at my arms and legs, wishing i could hide them from the world because im so fat. im X which apparently isnt that bad but when i look at myself i look a lot bigger. as soon as i go home i instantly stand infront of the mirror and most times cry because i cant believe how fat i am. i always wear loose clothing so no one can see the curve of my stomach or the curves of my thighs.

i constantly look at the nutrition guide of what i eat, and i pack things like celery to eat for lunch so people dont think im eating nothing. after eating any food at all i feel overwhelming senses of guilt and shame, and a couple of times i have made myself throw up in the bathroom if i feel ive eaten too much.

does this sound like an eating disorder? i dont think it is, as it doesnt seem too serious and i barely lose any weight no matter how hard i try. im only asking this because a friend told me that she thinks i have an eating disorder.

sorry if this isnt appropriate

Hi hon,

Firstly, no-one here will be able to confirm whether you have an eating disorder as a doctor has to diagnose that. However, your story sounds a lot like mine and I have disordered eating if not a eating disorder. I don't mean to sound judgemental and I hope that you won't take this as such but most people would say that it's not 'normal' to behave as you (and I) do and it is certainly something you should try to speak to someone about as, from my experience, things only get more extreme with time and harder to deal with. It doesn't matter that you are not loosing weight - you are actively trying to and taking extreme measures to achieve this. Our views about ourselves and behaviour would not be considered healthy and your friend may well be right. It will have been hard for her to tell you about concerns and hopefully she will continue to support you, whatever the outcome. I really hope that you'll speak to your doctor/parents about matters so that they can offer you support and assistance and, if necessary, help you to establish healthy eating patterns and also with your self-esteem.

This sounds like you should talk about this to someone and get help for it.
