I took the sanity score test this morning before work and saw that eating disorder (although not a major concern) had a score. I was slightly surprised but when I thought about it, I realized, I have problem losing weight and I don't think it's the average reason.
Last week I hopped on a scale to learn that I had lost 5 pounds. A victory. Until I start talking about my weight. That's when everything goes sour. Because that's when I think about what other people think about my weight and my stomach literally pooches out when I'm stressed about it. I internally stress about it and therefore create the problem. I'm thinking I need to be satisfied to some degree and be cool with it bc that's how I remember losing weight.

BUT FOR SOME REASON I FEEL LIKE MY WEIGHT MUST BE JUSTIFIED. Why??! Who the freak cares about my weight. I live with and date very physically fit people and so I size myself up.

Must learn to be accepting. I used to purge a little too, but didn't discover it was ever worth it.

I agree with Patricia -- good insight. I think it's a good idea to address these issues early on, and I think they are common among ALL women not just ED.
