  • If you know & you are asking, you most likely have an eating disorder. Your diagnosis would probably be Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia, Nonpurging type. You have not given many details.

    You would most likely feel you are fat even though others don't think you are. You feel disgusted by how you look.

    I don't think the diagnosis is(EDIT) as important as your getting some help.

    Google: mayo clinic>>diseases>>anorexia nervosa

    >>bulimia

    Good luck

  • There is Bulimea Nervosa which includes binge eating and then followed by purging either by throwing up or use of laxatives, then there is anorexia nervosa which includes skipping many meals training your body to live with less and less food until your body crashes.

    You should get it looked at because this is a cold hard fact- 95% of the total people that have anorexia nervosa are females in their adolescent ages.

  • Anorexics just don't eat, especially not binge.

    Why, would you like to be one?

    Anorexics are more unhealthy than people who stuff their face with fast food.

    Our bodies need food and nutrients in order to survive.It IS possible to eat healthy without gaining weight.People who have the will to not eat can do it without a problem.

  • Yes. This is NOT healthy. You need to remind yourself that it is very unattractive to look like a dying skeleton. What looks good is someone who takes care of themself. So, take care of your body. Eat healthy and excercise.

  • doesn't sound like it to me.....if you do it knowingly....

    you might have hypochondria though....
