How do I keep myself from getting an eating disorder?
I have all the early signs of an eating disorder (constantly checking my weight, always looking at my body in the mirror, not eating any candy or anything unhealthy) and I’m really scared that I’m going to become anorexic or something. How do I keep myself from hurting myself? By the way I’m already on the low side of average for weight and people tell me I’m skinny but I think I look fat.

change the way you think …thought restructuring…when you begin to think negative thoughts about your weight or body image…immediately change the thought to something like…no, my body is fine and i am not fat, I like the body I have. Do this every time immediately and in time your thoughts about your body image will change.
Sounds to me like you already have an eating disorder, and you’re in denial. Go to a psychologist and talk about your concerns.
You seek the help of a professional so that you don’t end up looking at your life 17 years later and wondering why you didn’t do something a long time ago. That’s me… 17 years… although it gets easier to make good decisions nowadays. There is nothing wrong with healthy eating. Stop looking at the scale, a number shouldn’t determine how you feel about yourself. Find a part of your body you really love and concentrate on that. Also, you only have this life, do you want to waste it looking in the mirror, worrying about fat and numbers. I wasted tooo much time. Seek a counselor. Best to you.
