[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you really aiming to limit yourself to a few hundred calories per day?  You do not want your body and metabolism to get adjusted to that kind of restriction.  No one should feel guilty about eating more than once a day!  I ate more than that when I was &lt;90 pounds with an obvious ED.

I did not even weigh myself during my daughter's tween and teen years. We had all kinds of food in the house and she learned that everything is OK in moderation.  I never skipped a meal, never dieted (maybe briefly after younger DS was born) and never mentioned my own body or my feelings about it. It was easy for me to do this because my own mother caused so much damage to my body image - I basically just had to do the opposite.  [/quote]

Just wanted to say thank you for doing this for your daughter. It’s so important and hard for many women to do. [/quote]

+1 I think you should talk to your PCP about professional help. That’s a very small number of calories. I grew up with a mom who struggled with disordered eating and my sister also did. It was incredibly sad. One of the best gifts you can give your child is getting this under control. It’s sometimes easier to do for someone else but you deserve to be free of these worries for yourself too.[/quote]

NP but how are you also doing this while making sure you and your kids aren't headed into overweight? [b]Maybe my eating is "disordered" by DCUM standards (I don't eat after 7pm, don't eat dessert more than once a week and try to avoid snacking), but I'd rather be this way than overweight. [/b]I rarely think about eating and it doesn't rule my life. I really want my kids to eat like I do and stop when they're hungry, but also understand nutrition. It's a fine line. We have only EVER talked about eating vegetables because they are healthy and make you strong and not eating too much dessert because it gives you cavities. [b]But my kids are little and have asked about why some people weigh more.[/b] [/quote]

You have issues.  Please get help.[/quote]

NP. You’re being ridiculous. What is problematic for you? Avoiding sweets and eating veggies is an issue for you? Perhaps you need help. [/quote]

I think there's a subset of Americans who just think they should be able to eat ANYTHING they want, at whim. And anything else is just disordered eating. [/quote]

DP We will get flamed for saying it, but it’s true. And frankly, looking at the state of the nation, the vast majority of “disordered eating” is the kind of eating that is contributing to obscene levels of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes, among other metabolic disorders. It’s disordered to eat mindlessly all day long. It’s disordered to eat too much processed crud. It’s disordered to eat oversized portions. That’s the stuff that’s moving the needle towards poor health on a larger scale. [/quote]
