But i'm curious.... For the past five months i've had one week every month where i cut down to (certain amount of calories) for the week then feel bad about it and eat a butt load of food from being hungry and then feel bad about eating so much then eating so little. So i stop. Then a month later it comes back. This moth has been good i didnt go on the scale or count calories for a whole month!! ( i was super addicted weighing myself twice a day and counting every piece of food)- then yesterday i figured i'd weigh myself again to see where im at!!!! I know im overweight and so far ive maintained my weight for a month. So today i counted calories again which caused meto cut down... Again... I just felt so unhealthy eating so much likr I was out of control and i cant gain weight!!! I just cant. I have some anxoety problems (read my other threads) and such i dont know if this plays into it. Does this sound like an eating disorder?

I think if you're not in IMMEDIATE danger of dying like from bulimia or anorexia, "they" don't call it an ED. Even if you have morbid obesity, morbid meaning deathly, you can't have an "active" ED going into gastric bypass surgery. Personally, I think your ups and downs sound painful, and they sound too familiar to me. People advised me to get this under control when I was still young because it only gets harder. Easy for them to say! My advice, from experience, would be to find a sport OR TWO OR THREE. You will start off doing the sport to lose weight, then losing weight to do the sport better. And having a lot of fun and making new friends on the way and REALLY changing your life for the better, and making the best memories of your life. Your ability to track calories etc can be an asset.

Hi Mysterygirl, we're not allowed to diagnose here so we can't say if you have an eating disorder or not. If you're concerned (and it sounds like you are), please talk to a doctor or therapist and ask their advice. It does sound like what you're doing is self-destructive and potentially very harmful for your health. So please do seek help.

Alroght i need someones opinion! I took the eatig attitudes test and 24 and up means high rism of etig disorder. I got a 36. What does that mean?

i know you want an opinion, but the only one that matters is your doctors, i strongly would like to encourage you to talk with him/her. they are there to help
also you can ask them to stay confidential.. so dont wory about your parents, ok?
