Eating disorders

first off I definately have to say its a disease and NOT a choice...As a young teen I suffered from anorexia and 3 yrs ago suffered from a bout of bulemia...did I choose it? absolutely not...its rough living like that, seeign yourself that way and the whole thought process etc....

my eating disorders? i love to eat alot. like most time of the day. i have breakfast, lunch, and dinner all the time. i have regular snacks. but i still love to eat many times in between. my friends laugh at me saying i do have eating disorders.. eating much without getting fat. but i think it's okey. for as long as i am enjoying life.

It is a disease that can ruin many lives. My daughter was diagnosed with it at the age of 14 and was not practicing it anymore until she was over 20 years old. Currently she is 27 years old and complains of horrible teeth due to this disease, she wishes everyday she did not live with it but she is in control now, not the disease!

I did when I was a teenager - not real serious or anything. But I wouldn't eat much and did like 400 situps a night. I just thought I was fat. I wasn't I know that now, but I thought I was then. Now I limit myself on eating, but I won't got without. I love eating too much. And all bad stuff too!!! I have a low metabolism and I worry about getting fat. So I just watch what I eat and how much of what I eat. But like I said - not too much or I'd cave and would get fat. Diabetes runs in the family.

I used to be anorexic. When I started out it was because I liked the feeling of losing weight so I just survived on chinese tea and laxatives. I didn't know that it was an eating disorder until I was forced to see a psychiatrist. That was the beginning of a long struggle to get back on the road of healthy eating. I should say that whatever the triggering factors, it's a choice and then when it's uncontrollable it becomes a disease.

I'm anorexic. I feel like it's at least half a choice for me, at least at this time it is. Why I started making these choices I haven't figured out yet. I wouldn't say it's lifestyle though, it's a secret. I wouldn't ever tell anyone I knew in person. I would have to say I am choosing not to recover at this time though. I am so addicted to health sites and natural medicine/prevention nutrition sites and such that if I chose to I could put together an absolutely ideal eating plan. I just don't want to. Am I choosing to not want to, I don't know. I know what my desire is right now and am allowing myself to give into that desire. Whether or not I am in control of that desire of a disease is causing it I can't say for sure.
