In my adult phase now and looking back to my younger version I realize I had an eating disorder.I would abstain from food completely until my dad noticed.The longest period was 10 days.I think I did this so that the abuse stops and attention is diverted to make me eat.It would be minimum one week before they noticed that I had stopped eating completely. During that period of my life people admired at how physically fit I looked and asked me what work outs I did.I never attended gym back then.It was just a distraction technique and a coping skill,I think.
