Worried I may have an eating disorder...what do you think?

Does it sounds like I have an eating disorder?

The last couple of days I've been bingeing on junk food, then yesterday I threw it all up, I felt so ill I just had to get it out of my system, so I stuck my fingers down my throat to get it all out. (I have done this once before)

People have been telling me that I exercise too much, but I don't think I do, I've always been sporty. I go to the gym 3 times a week, plus sport I do during school.

My life isn't easy at the moment, and eating isn't always at the top of my list. Am I ill?

MissKin agony auntThe only way to be sure is, as Mandy7 suggests, to see your doctor. However, from what you have said it does not sound like you have an eating disorder right now, it sounds like your life is a little out of balance. Try to work out your stresses, take things easier and make yourself eat right.

Talk to an adult, someone you trust and a doctor about this as it could grow to cause you serious health problems.

Please be careful.

Best wishes,

Miss K.

Hi Hunny,

You very well could get ill if this continues, Exercise and keeping fit is good but so is eating healthy love, You should go and see a doctor and tell him/her everything and get a good diet planned and stick to it, if you are working out alot you need vitamins and minerals and plenty of water. Dont go mad excersising then binge as you will feel ill and dont throw up its just not good for you at all. Look up on the net about eating disorders and what they can do to your body. You are special you have to believe in you sweetheart and look after yourself. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOU LOVE MANDY xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
