Eating Disorders
I am not trying to diet but sometimes I can’t help it but do the tricks I know. I am too skinny already (I know this so I don’t have any false body issues) but when I actually do lose a pound or two I get so happy even though I know that I actually don’t need to lose weight. I think it’s probably a bit of an eating disorder that I have but mostly I am in charge. If I can pick a weight that’s OK and stick to that weight does that mean I don’t have to worry about how I think about eating? I don’t do any purging or binging.

I am a 32 year old binge eating male. I have been binging for 6 years. I do not purge. I am dangerously overweight. I am sick of living like this. I want to get treatment. Diets do not work for me. Nutrition plans do not work for me. I have a compulsion that is beyond my control. I understand this now. I have never had any kind of therapy or psychiatric treatment before but I suspect I also have borderline clinical anxiety and depression on top of the BED although I think that much of my anxiety and depression gets mixed up with the tension and shame of the eating. I feel like I want to really get away at a rehab type place but most of these places seem to be for people who already have a treatment team and all that. How do I get started with treatment? Is a residential facility going to be an appropriate place for a male of my age? Can you recommend a good facility for someone with my types of problems?
Read answer →Eating Disorder?
So I stopped drinking like 6 months ago and I have lost 30 pounds since then. I am close to rocking a 6 pack which is something I never believed I would ever see grace my portly-since-i-was-a-kid body. SO this is good. But what’s weird is now that I am all of a sudden in good shape I am feeling obsessed with counting my calories and exercising and trying to get to that body I have always wanted. I think about it all the time. All the time. I am always checking myself out in the mirror and making plans to exercise and reading about health and fitness a lot. So my best friend was anorexic in her teens and she says I am starting to scare her because I am getting weirdly obsessed. SO this worries me. But if anything was the matter I would be feeling anxious about how I look, not feeling great about it, right?

my friend told me that she made herself throw up and she stopped eating for two days cause her sister called her fat but she told me she's going to stop and knows it's unhealthy for her. What can I do to help her and would exercising with her help her stop?? She also seems really stressed out lately, is there anything I can do to help her get through this??
