[quote=Anonymous]I have struggled with mild anorexia/food restriction for my whole adult life.

Let me tell you -- we don't just deny ourselves permanently (we would die if we literally ate nothing). There's a wide variety of ways anorexics restrict food, but part of it is trying to delay eating for as long as possible.

I never eat breakfast. I weigh myself every day. If my weight comes out as something I consider unacceptable (like today I was 127.4 lbs, which I consider too much) I'll restrict my food. Today I will have a iced skinny latte (130 calories), a container of baby carrots, and a small container of leftover pasta. That's all I'll eat until dinner. Then for dinner I'll probably make a cream cheese and jelly sandwich. Right now I'm hungry but I won't eat because my weight is too high.

This is actually an improvement from when I was in college and would only eat cold cuts, vegetables, and fruit.

My point is just that I agree with OP. IF is what a lot of anorexics do. [/quote]
