[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This might be triggering to those with ED, so please tread carefully if that’s an issue for you.

About a month ago I decided I wanted to lose some weight. I started running, eating a little less, and now I’m totally hooked. I like “feeling” skinnier and also - flame away - notice that people treat me more reverently since I’ve started to slim down. I skip breakfast sometimes now and feel proud of myself for being so strict with my diet. So I guess “nothing tastes as good as thin feels,” is something I’m really experiencing.[/quote]

Your body is enjoying less food and more energy. I support you fully. It’s a nice addiction to have. It’s clear to me now why I see skinnny women at the gym. They must be enjoying nice compliments and don’t want to lose them. [/quote]

One of the PPs here. Yes, sure, but it can also be damaging mentally. Like I said above I am 126 lbs. and 5'4''. I know rationally that I don't need to lose weight, but I still have a compulsive need to eliminate any fat that I see. I don't want to be dangerously thin, but I want to lose 5 lbs. I am upset when I weigh myself and I'm up by even 0.5 lbs.

I got hungry a couple of hours ago, but had already had 750 calories and I try to stay under 1,000 calories before dinner, so I got a red bull and a pack of gum.

None of this behavior is in response to anyone saying I look fat -- my husband always tells me I'm beautiful and before I got married I never struggled to find a date. It's all in my head and while I recognize it's a problem, I can't stop thinking I need to lose weight and that if I cheat at all on food I'll become really fat. [/quote]
