Eating Disorders

I was just wondering... can any woman truly say she has never suffered from ANY sort of eating disorder AT ALL, however mild? Cos every woman I know has done some crazy diet, or binged, or starved herself, or made herself sick...

If this is too bad a topic, I don't mind if its deleted, I just think its an important thing that will never go away if t is ignored rather than discussed.

I can say I haven't, I don't believe in diets much ❌
If you want something bad enough, then let your body have it. Unless you're pushing toward eating way to much. I try to keep my meals in the right portions, and don't pig out.

However, I can't say I've never like pigged out at a sleep over or something, that's a given 😮

maybe its just my area of england... 😑

I've done all sorts of wacky diets... the cracker diet... the cereal diet... the one meal a day diet... the not eating diet... the fruit diet...

and the worst thing is, I don't know why I do it! I know its bad for me, but I just can't stop - I still starve myself! its not so often nowadays, but I do sometimes try to see how long I can go without eating, which is IDIOTIC!

poor phoe hug
everyone has to eat, but eating healthy is the key 🙁

*hugs*

I think the longest I ever went without eating was about 26 hours... cos my mum was always there at tea-time, so I had to eat...

i think the majority of gals have tried some sort a diet. Dont worry Phoe, i was just like u at one stage!!! And i can tell u it wasnt good. 🙁
*group hug!!*
btw, Phoe, what on earth is a cracker diet? Ive never heard of it! 😕

I know some women that have defintely tried a number of diets and then some that eat whatever they want. Of course, the ones who seemingly eat whatever they want may be eating much less behind the scenes.

Anybody know of any serious cases among friends?

~I can truly say i have never been on a diet. I'm one of the REALLY skinny types that can eat anything and wont get fat or gain pounds. Unfourtunatly i no its gonna cach up to me one day. but im pretty active between soccor and hoseback riding(u no it aint jus sittin up there theres a lot more to it!). thats kinda like my diet.....but not really.~

I had never suffered an eating disorder

I diet very often and I also like to maintain myself fit. I rarely consume any dairy products. For me Fiber is very essential. A healthy exercise and dieting always helps to control eating disorders. A woman that goes through eating disorders needs support and with nutritional help. Dieting sometimes can be good if taken correctly but it could be bad if it is taken seriously. dieting and exercise are key to a healthy lifestyle

there is nothing wrong with trying different diets. As long as you keep yourself fit you should be fine. Exercise is one of the most important thing in life.

aww *hugs*. I haven't really tried dieting before but i'm pretty sure i will in the future...

Dieting aint too bad, im not sure if it even works. Apparently u gain the kg u lost about a month or so later. I dunno.
Its just really bad when ppl starve themselves. Esp if their friends dont notice. 🙁

😂

well, I have an anorexic friend, a bulimic friend, I've suffered from mild bulimia, and all my girl mates are funny with food to a certain extent

(scratches head)

See, this is where my massive ignorance of the workings of the female gets to me. It's the same way I cannot work out the 'I am fat' thing that so many girls in excess of seven stone seem to think.

Can someone explain to a socially inadequate ignorant male how this all works and comes about and so on and so forth? Phoe?
