I go back and forth between restricting and eating normally and regular dieting. Often my restriction is not on purpose it’s just I get distracted and I forget to eat for hours or I am just not hungry for long periods of time. I’ve lost a substantial amount of weight since last Thanksgiving. I do want to lose more weight and I am considered overweight. My mom thinks that I may have something. My Pdoc said what I’m doing is normal but I only see him every 3 months for 15 minutes and it’s in video sessions. Therapists will refuse to work with me if they don’t know about EDs if I bring it up. Although I’m pretty sure my last one just used that as sn excuse to get rid of me. But I honestly don’t see? A problem. I’m more of a grazer I think when I do eat.
So do people with EDs often not know or admit that they have one? __________________ I'm Blue |

I can't speak for everyone with an ED, but I didn't know until a concerned friend brought up how little I was eating and how I disappeared (to purge) after I did eat. I denied it for a week or so then went back and forth on the issue for about a month and then when I was suggested to go to a program for eating disorders it assured me, yeah, I have an ED.

I knew what I was doing wasn’t normal, but I always told myself it wasn’t a problem because I could stop any time if I wanted to (that was a lie). When people started showing serious concern and I realized I couldn’t eat even when I wanted to, I realized something was off. I still remember going to my first assessment for eating disorder treatment and telling them “I don’t think I have an eating disorder,” and them looking at me like I was crazy and assuring me that yes, I definitely did have an eating disorder. Now it’s been like 8 years and I still have times of denial.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
