Hello to all, I need some advice. I think that I might have an eating disorder...or at least, Im on the edge of one but I am not sure. My therapist doesn't know anything about this except that I have gained a few pounds in the past year or so. I didnt think I was having a problem but, I have been eating like crazy. I bought 2 things of ice cream and ate them with in a couple of days...along with the chocolate syrup that freezes in 30 seconds...yummm...but, the bottle only lasted 2 days because I used so much of it. I ate that, plus im eating when Im not hungry...I have been trying to get down to 130 lbs and im up to 148......Last week however, I weighed myself and was down to 143..so I gained a few since then...
I dont weight myself every day but, I did weigh myself today (I work in a doctor's office) and the doctor came out asking me what I was doing and that I am only supposed to weigh myself once a week...I laughed and said that she didnt understand because I have gained weight not lost it..and she laughed and said it didnt matter...(I work for my dad who is a doctor so they all know me there...)But, I am concerned about my gaining weight. But, I cannot stop eating. Like tonight, my plan is to make this cake that I bought and eat it...(its not a big cake) but Im eating so much junk.
I bought this tea called "slimming tea" and of course it doesnt work....but I have come so close to buying medicines to help me loose weight but im to scared to do that to myself. I havent bought anything except for the tea.
I know I should probably be writing down what I eat but I really dont see it as a problem yet except to say that im concerned about my weight. The ultimate would be for me to start excercizing but I am too lazy. I think i need help...
I have a session with my therapist tomorrow afternoon but tell me what you think, do you think that this sounds like an eating disorder? No one knows about it and my parents would FLIP if they knew what I was thinking...
What got me messed up was that I was eating well, and gained weight anyway and that really irritated me and now i feel like im on the edge of a problem...
Someone please give me some advice or help...
Does this sound like an eating disorder?
Thanks.
