I'm new here... have posted twice so far but this is my first time starting a discussion.. I am 30, had an ED when I was 17 that I thought had gone away... I guess it never REALLY goes away or does it? Anyway... I've had some of those old feelings coming back as I have recently started this new obsession again with my weight, calories, eating, working out. When I had my ED at 17 I was anorexic/bulemic. My question is... am I going back to old tendencies thought they may be in a different form? I write down EVERYTHING I eat and the calories (I do eat though!) and I am obsessed with exercising everday. What I learned from my ED before...I know that this comes from feelings of being out of control and wanting something to control. I know that I am a perfectionist and I am seeking the perfect body, perfect life etc. and if I can't have the perfect life well then maybe I can have the perfect body. Or, if I can't control other things in my life at least I can control my weight and looks of my body. Is this an ED? I eat about 1000 calories a day, run 3-4 miles 5 days a week and weight train 4 days a week. Is this obsessive? Am a back to old habits but in a new form?
Thanks for any advice,
