Also preoccupation with your physical body and appearance. Disordered eating involves unrealistic restrictions with foods and sometimes a bargaining phase where you might make deals with yourself- I.E. " I am going to only eat 550 calories for the next five days and binge on the weekend". Of course I do not know if any of this qualifies as an ED but IMO it should. I had disordered eating and an unhealthty obsession on body and weight but never quite made the threshhold for an ED.
Do you rapidly lose weight with just disordered eating? I’m losing a pound a day.
