Miserable At Best.: HEY YOU! →
shawnaaamarieee:
Yes, you. Stop being unhappy with yourself. You are perfect. Stop wishing you looked like someone else or wishing people liked you as much as they like someone else. Stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you. Stop hating your body, your face, your personality, your quirks. Love them….

Anonymous asked: I've not been formally diagnosed by a doctor because I don't want to go. It's almost like going and hearing him/her say it, makes it real. But despite that- I know I've an eating disorder. Now, according to the DSMV, I thought I would be considered EDNOS because I do have a period (which would be the only thing that wouldn't make me anorexic). However, with your last post,...
Diagnostic Criteria
Since there have been some questions from people asking if they have a certain Eating Disorder or not, I thought I would post what the DSM- iv criteria is.
Anorexia Nervosa:
Criteria:
Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height: Weight loss leading to maintenance of body weight <85% of that expected or failure to make expected weight gain...
fughawzi asked: For the person who asked what the diagnosis criteria was for bulimia (from DSM-IV):
Diagnostic criteria for 307.51 Bulimia Nervosa
A. Recurrent episodes of binge eating. An episode of binge eating is characterized by both of the following:

Anonymous asked: In response to the girl from earlier, bulimia may be outwardly defined as the acts of binging and purging. However, in the medical diagnosis the true core behind any eating disorders are not addressed, and that is that it has manifested in your head. An eating disorder is constantly associated with binging and purging but what an eating disorder truly is, is an idea that has manifested itself...
Anonymous asked: To be diagnosed with bulimia how many times must you throw up in a day? I eat 3 meals a day and throw up after everything i eat no matter how small. I guess i dont binge i just panic from anything being in my stomach. as an example: today i ate breakfast, threw it up, lunch, purged, and purged dinner. Would i be diagnosed as bulimic if i told me doctor? I am 5'4 and weigh about 120.

Anonymous asked: hi. i have a friend who is having problems and kind of getting into the worse stages of an eating disorder. the thing is, she's an internet friend and i don't know her irl. however, it still really worries me. i'm having trouble with it though, because i admit... i just can't understand it. i don't know what to tell her any more, because i don't want to support it,...
Anonymous asked: I think I might have an eating disorder. I've had a distorted body image my entire life, but I just recently started counting calories. I exercise excessively and I worry about my weight way to much. I usually take in around 600-900 calories a day, and with my workout it can be anywhere from 300-600 calories. I'm worried I'm developing an eating disorder, and by no means do I want...
Fat in your food does not equal fat on your body.
Live your dreams.
A lot of people with any kind of eating disorder feels like they are never going to accomplish anything in life. I’m here to tell you that is completely false. Whatever your dream is; to be a doctor, singer, actress, model, teacher, scientist, whatever, you can do it. Even if you are in recovery and you don’t think you can do what you love and try and become healthy and the same time,...
I looked in the mirror yesterday and felt...
I haven’t felt that way in years. I learned I gained three pounds since I left the hospital, but it didn’t even phase me. I am recovering, and it feels amazing.
How are you all doing?

Anonymous asked: No, I don't purge after eating, but I do exercise a lot after I've eaten. Maybe I'm not bulimic, but it seemed to be what described this best.
WatchJust filmed a little video letting everyone know some things that are happening. Enjoy!

Anonymous asked: I go for as long as I can without eating, and then I give in and eat loads of unhealthy foods and feel incredibly guilty afterwards. I'm 5'9 and I weigh 130 lbs, but I still feel like I should lose weight and I'm never happy with how I look, even though I tend to lose weight very easily. I'm not unhealthily thin right now, but I feel like I'm heading that way and I think...

I had some sort of epiphany last night...
I was lying down and realized how tired I was of worrying about how much I eat, how much I weigh, how much I need to exercise, and how many calories is enough. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired because of my eating disorder. I will recover. I know this will be a long, hard process, but it is worth it. There are different ways to make yourself feel good about yourself. You want to get...

Anonymous asked: Hey there:) I go to an eating disorders group therapy twice a week. You have nothing to worry about love. You might be nervous about seeing people and everything but just remember that everyone there is just like you. They are struggling and need help also. You will make plenty of friends. It's easy to bond over something you have in common:) as far as triggering, I myself compared myself to...
noregretsjust-love asked: Although the group may be triggering, it is worth a shot to try it. In my experience it was easier for me to work on recovering in my ED when I know I had support from other people who were going through the same thing as me. Yes, at times it was triggering when people were slipping and loosing weight and jealousy got the best of me, but most of the time those were the same people that encouraged...
