Do I have an Eating Disorder!?

Question

I don't have anorexia or bulimia I know that but when I was little I would eat and eat and never gain weight but of course it wasn't on a regular basis. My parents were poor and sometimes I went days without eating. Now as a 18 year old I can go up to 3 days without filling hungry! And when I get hungry I feel like I'm dying! And food just seems to make me sick. I'm 18 5' 6" and weigh anything from 95 to 100lbs. I really don't know because my weight yo-yos back in forth I lost 5 pounds in 1 day once! People are always telling me oh don't knock it you'll wish you had that figure back but when I look in the mirror I think what figure! I know models look good like that but I wasn't built to be a model!! I'm tired of not being able to buy clothes from wal-mart because everything it to big! So can anyone help is this a eating disorder? And if it is what is the name? If I look up eating disorders all I get is the main two! Help me please.

Answer 1

By the sounds of it you dont have an eating disorder but what you need to do is break your body out of the routine its been in for so long.. If you truly want this to change you should see a doctor and they will put you onto a Nutritionist and then they will help you with your food intake and the right way to do it :-)

Answer 2

You don't have an eating disorder, just a fast metabolism. Just try eating more carbs, like bread and pasta.  

Answer 3

I don't think you have a eating disorder,unless you don't eat on purpose cuz' you think your fat.I also would go a couple days without eating just cuz' i wasn't hungry.But you have to force yourself to eat 3 balanced meals a day .your stomache shrinks when you don't eat ,so you feel sick when you do.Your body gets pretty messed up cuz' you starve it.You want to put on some weight,their,but do it in a healhty way.Eat carbs.Veggies,fruits,pasta,breads,eat often.The Dr. told me to eat small amounts 6 times a day.And exercise.Good luck.Not to dissapoint you,but,i myself have always been skinny and have gained weight over the years only cuz' i'm getting older.i'm 5'5'' weigh 108lbs.And tryed everything to gain weight but it just wasn't me.My whole family is skinny.Go to T.J.Maxx and you can find cloths you'll be happy with in the Jr. section.
