This is my first post on the eating disorders forum. Basically, the issue is that I started losing some weight a couple of months ago due to a new med, and I am so thoroughly enjoying losing the weight that it may be becoming an obsession.

I generally don't eat all day and then eat a reasonable dinner when I get home in the evenings. I started out taking laxatives on the weekends when I am prone to eat more (I am aware that I am only losing water weight with these as the calories have already been absorbed by the time the laxatives kick in, but it is weight nonetheless.) The past couple of weeks I have been taking double to triple doses of laxatives a few times during the week. Yesterday I attempted to make myself vomit after dinner, but I guess I didn't hit the right spot or something. When that didn't work, I ordered some ipecac online, which I intend to use on occasions when I feel I have eaten too much.

I am not underweight and actually still need to lose a few more pounds to hit the healthy weight zone for my height, but I am wondering if I may be treading dangerous ground with this.
