I don't know if this is typical or not, but I seem to switch between anorexia and binge eating. My therapist says this happens among many people, but I've yet to meet someone who also has this problem of combined eating disorders. I've gone through alternate periods of being quite thin or very overweight. Neither are fun. Right now I'm at a healthy weight I suppose, but I'm still very confused about food-- I eat because I know I have to, but I am afraid to, and I am very uncomfortable with eating around people. I generally don't feel comfortable eating 3 meals and 2 snacks, although I know that is the recommended amount. I just want to have a healthy relationship with food, and I want to enjoy it without overindulging or depriving myself of the nutrients that I need to stay healthy. Right now I've just had breakfast (cereal with skim milk and berries, all measured out to the recommended serving sizes-- now I feel incredibly fat and repulsive and I don't want to eat for the rest of the day. I was quite heavy until recently-- since January I've lost around 75 lbs. But I'm still very confused :-(
