What are some good eating disorder related songs?

I have an eating disorder related question... Please look. Any takers there to give me the insight I need?

  • It all started last summer and into fall/early winter. I restricted my calorie intake to 300-600 a day. I know that sounds like anorexia, but I didn't fit the criteria in terms of body weight. It got out of hand, though I felt great about the power and control I felt. Weird, I know, but that's just how it went. I'm not saying it's right or appropriate, because I know it isn't. I couldn't stop. The weight loss was good, and I felt guilty every time I "overate" my personal calorie limitations. When I got up to 800-900, I'd feel awful, just because of the guilt. I was 5'1", 128 pounds, female. I got down to around 112 before it stopped. It felt amazing to be able to pinch off less and less flab, and my thighs (which are naturally muscular) got down to a size I could appreciate and admire. I prayed about it a lot and broke the cycle on my own. Then it went back to normal for around 4-5 months. I was eating regularly, around 1,800 calories a day. I work a physically demanding job, which covered the exercise portion. Then, all of a sudden, something snapped again. I am back to where I began, restricting to around 600-700 calories a day. It gets lower by the day, though this has only been going on for about a week. It's unfortunate, but I have the same mindset and haven't been able to break it. I am afraid the same thing will happen again... Which I'm not too disappointed to hear, in a way... But it seems extreme. Today, for example, I went over my limit and had an apple and a couple of pickles. All I could think about is gIning weight, and it bugged me a lot. My guilty conscience took over, and I threw up. It was NOT self-induced; I never make myself puke. Well, anyway... I guess these are my questions: 1. What would you call my situation? It's not anorexia because I don't fit the criteria... Is it EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified)? 2. Has anyone been through this cycle before? Have any insight? 3. Basically whatever else you'd like to add.

  • Answer:

    I wouldn't worry about classifying it. Try to get help for it.

1. this is most likely a case of extreme dieting. it is not anorexic, as you do eat. it is not bulimia because you do not purge. 2. yes i have been obsessed with dieting, but i have gotten over it. you just need to accept yourself for who you are, on the inside as well as the outside. it sounds like you could benefit from seeing someone who can help you set up a HEALTHY eating plan, such as a nutrionist. it is important to eat healthy, but not to the point where you are each as few calories as you are.
