OK I was just wondering if this would be considerd and ED. If I ate about 100 cals. of fruit for breakfast, a small salad or some veggies for lunch, then more veggies and a little protein for dinner. Also, moderate excersing along with about 2 miles of walking each day. I know its kinda restricting calories, but i dont think I could even eat "regular" foods anymore just the thought of all the cals. in them freaks me out and makes me sick

HI Caitlin,
I think that trying to put a label on what we struggle with is not really all that important. By clinical standards one might say that you don't have an eating disorder, at least not based on what you said in your post. However, the number of calories you are eating is incredibly low, your body will most likely go into starvation and your metabolism will slow down. None of that is healthy and can lead to greater problems down the road, and definitely move you in the direction of getting an eating disorder.
The thing to do is to address it now, from an emotional and physical standpoint, and try to avoid bigger problems in the future.
I hope this helps.
Love & hugs, Kristina
