Im 21 years old. I dont have issues with my body or weight. I believe i do this to have control and a form of self punishment. I feel proud when i go over 48 hrs without eating sometimes i sip water whilst having a starvation period sometimes not. I feel it gives me power. I run 12kms a day and workout on my bedroom floor if i cant sleep. I keep it well hidden i think people would think i was distgusting if they knew i also like having such a big secret too myself. Bindging starts when i start to feel the affects of starving light headed faint nausea and my stomach feels tucked up. I normally binge on junk food anything a scoff as much as possible wait for that urge to empty my stomach and do "the deed" i do this in privacy. Ive learnt to not do this in company as people think im sick and suggest the doctors.
You might want to consider how malnutrition and purging might affect your looks if this behavior spins out of control, which occurs quite often in eating disorders.
Hair starts falling out, and teeth get corroded from stomach acid. Your personality can also suffer in time, making you neurotic, hyper-defensive and paranoid.
I've also read more people DIE from eating disorders than any other psyc illness.
Until you get a handle on this, you really NEED to be sure you take a multivitamin ever day, and try to eat at least one decent meal. If you're going to eat one thing in a day and keep it down, eggs may pack the biggest nutritional punch in a small meal. A hard boiled egg with mayo or an egg sandwich would provide a bit of quality protein and vitamins.
Most eating disorders get progressively worse with time, and you need to watch this... If it gets out of control, you need a plan of action to get help. You don't have to sign up today if you don't want to, but find out now where to get help if you find you need it.
Best of Luck to You!
