If you have an eating disorder, what is the most common thought that runs through your mind?
I’ve been wondering for a while – mainly about anorexia and bulimia (though I would be interested to find out about those with compulsive eating disorder and the like). Do you think about food all day, do you completly forget about food, do you think about exercising or purging or binging or how to avoid people or what?
If you could also state how long you’ve had your ED for, that would also be helpful as I think that makes a big difference in your thought pattern.
Also, how does everyone else react to being hungry or full relative to their ED? Because I’ve read up alot on this but I’ve found that some of it when applied to real life just doesn’t seem true to me so I would like to find out what the truth really is.
I’d really appreciate non-textbook answers, more real-life. Also, one thing I forgot to put in the question, how do you feel after you binge/eat accidently?

Don’t eat
Unfortunately we live in a society that is focused on the thin. Leaving a lot of teens, even preteens, with an outlook I have to be thin to be accepted in society. Or I have to be thin to look pretty. Times are changing, the average weight of today’s society has increased dramatic. But the ED is a disease of the mind. They see themselves as fat. The image they see in the mirror is completely different than the image you and I see of them. Most Ed starts in the early teen years Children are put under so much pressure to fit in with the crowd they will go to any lengths to fit in. Then it becomes a way of life to them. They will always try to fit in with the in crowd so to speak.
Eating disorders are diseases, just like alcoholism or drug addiction. Unlike other diseases, these are commonly inferred by people who have addictive-like personalities. People who are addicts want to control something – some facet of their life – and they do it by developing habits that are, in a sense, very selfish.
People who have diseases like these only think one thing – even if it’s an underlying thought…
