I have to watch carefully that I not fall into those patterns, but just be moderate. I have also over-exercised, but haven't the energy to do that currently.
I have never purged, but I have binged on the odd occasion when depressed and suicidal. So I probably fall into a disordered eating category, though I have never been actually anorexic...or had to be hospitalized. |
I do similar things, and have talked about it with my T. It's never been an official diagnosis for me. I was super restricitive about eating in high school...but I made sure that I ate enough to not raise any suspicions, and made sure that I never got
too skinny. I know I fall in to the disordered eating category, and my T remembers to check on my eating habits every couple of weeks. I hadn't felt the urge torestrict food in years, and it suddenly cropped up this past year around Thanksgiving. It worried me enough that I talked to T about it, because I thought I was past that. Since then, it's been a bit of a struggle not to limit food. I've found that if I stick to a schedule for eating, and I have things planned out, I do much better. If I haven't been to the grocery store and don't have a plan, then I just stop eating.
