Question

What would be classified as an eating disorder? I am 14 almost 15, and have thought of myself as bigger and unattractive compared to other girls. Since I was 11 I have been aware that I want to look beautiful. When I was 12 I starved for 3 months, then thought it was useless and started eating again. But just recently I have noticed the number on the scale go up and so I’ve been restricting my calorie intake for 2 weeks now. 250 calories or below. I’ve noticed results but everyone around me is still telling me I should start losing weight. Nobody knows about any of this. But I just wanted to know if it is a problem or if I’m just trying to lose weight.

Answer 1

Just eat protein,grain,dairy,water,fruits and vegetables.Mostly fruits and grains are good.as long as u get some exercise your fine

Answer 2

Listen, it’s unhealthy eating that way and yes it can LEAD to an eating disorder. 250 calories per day is a lot less than what a 15 year old should be eating to be healthy. I’ve been through that and I’m actually still going through it but it’s a must that you always think of yourself as beautiful and perfect the way you are (healthy is perfect). If your unhealthy that should be fixed but if your decently healthy and your doctors say your weight is normal than you shouldn’t be doing that to yourself. And not to mention that muscle takes up the number on a scale so weighing yourself isn’t the best option. So, in conclusion or in concise words, eating healthy and exercising is the best lifestyle and you should follow it. You’re only doing this because of a stupid number on a stupid scale! Your perfect and except it
