There are a lot of posts about binging, but isn't there a place in the middle? Like a median between binging and total starvation? I eat, but according to everyone else i don't eat much. To me, though, it feels like i've eaten too much and afterwards the guilt is simply...too much to handle. But i don't binge, i don't eat excessive amounts at once. Does anyone else feel like me?...how is it possible to cope with the guilt?

yeah i don't really binge either, like today i ate one meal but I purged. But I still eat and some days i eat lots but feel guilty but still don't purge. Sometimes I purge over a normal meal or even less than but then sometimes I binge and don't purge.

lol its late and my eyes are getting blury. I thought the subject name was quilt instead of guilt and I was like whats that going to be about.

yeah sweetie, there are people who feel similarly to you.

i was just looking through the posts on the board trying to find some people with anorexia. my friend has anorexia, you see. i've been trying to learn more about it so i might be in a better position to help him.

i guess there are binge eating disorders (where people eat too much)
then there is bulimia where people binge (eat too much) and sometimes they purge as well (to get rid of what they have eaten).
then there is anorexia where people eat so little (and sometimes purge what little they eat) that they are unable to maintain healthy body weight.

sometimes it can be about guilt with eating.

what kind of weight are you maintaining? you don't have to tell me... but are you seriously underweight, or underweight, or normal weight?

different people do eat differently and some eat more than others...

but the guilt doesn't sound good... do you have a therapist to talk to about the guilt?

I am a tad underweight, like maybe 15 or so lbs. No, i don't have a therapist to talk to. i don't trust any of the ones around my town, they're really fake it seems. Plus, only one of my friends really knows that i'm having this problem. i'm trying to help myself without getting everyone else involved.
