Question Is it weird that I miss...

Is it odd that I actually miss being hungry all the time? Even though I still restrict my calories on most days, lately I havent been able too (its only because my family has been around more) Even though I was miserable when I was restricting I actually miss the feel of my stomach being empty or growling. I mean I felt so "pure" during this time I guess its also a control thing. I also miss seeing the numbers on the scale being dangerously low, it was like a reward for me to see the numbers keep going lower and lower. Even though Im still considered "underweight" for my height the thought that I weigh more now is depressing to me. I also miss seeing my shoulder blades in the mirror and my collar bones sticking out more. Am I alone in this kind of feeling?

Re: Is it weird that I miss...

Mops I read your thread on the Diet and Nutrition board about your diet and I think with 600-750 calories per day that you would feel hungry, am I right?
I do however agree with you and know the wonderful feeling of hunger. I know that's sick, but the truth is that I too feel power from seeing my bones stick out and my stomach going in. Since I chew so much gum though ( I have way too much nervous energy so I chew gum constatnly) the asparteme they put in it makes my stomach huge and I hate that.
But you are not alone, I think we all feel the same way about our EDs.
