~Hey my name is Kim, I think me and my friend may have an eating disorder, see a while back we decided to go on a diet and we've been going the whole day without eating except for supper. This probably isn't an eating disorder and I probably don't even know what im talking about, but i don't know if i should be worried about us. Please write back and tell me what you think~!

Hi Kim and welcome!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif

Of course nobody here is a medical professional, but starving yourself is not healthy. If you're worried about yourself and your eating habits, you should start to change them as soon as you can. If you're suspecting that you have an ED, it's quite possible that you do. Starving yourself also does not work as a diet. Your body will begin to store all the food that you DO let yoruself have as fat, because it begins treating itself in a defence mechanism type form. Eating 3 meals a day in healthy foods and healthy portions with moderate exercise will help you lose weight and become more physically fit but starving yourself will not accomplish this. When you starve yourself you lose your muscles first, before the fat...just some info...good luck and becareful. Let us know how you're feeling, will ya? http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

hiya from what you have said, it doesn't sound like an eating disorder BUT if you carry on with the diet and diets it could well turn into one. don't mean to sound lectury but 3 healthy meals a day and moderate excersise really is the best way to loose weight, keep the weight off and not loose your mind like an ED will force you to do

Hi,

My ED started out with a diet. First low fat then low carbing. Then diet pills and eating once a day. Now, I will eat like a horse, take laxatives and eat diet pills like they are candy. I will also starve myself.

So just make sure you are aware of what you are doing. Eating once a day is not healthy and can lead to an ED if you dont watch it. Just be careful, Okay?
