Struggling
Eating Disorder Support / by emmawastaken

...See more So I’ve been struggling with my eating lately, and have been counting my calories. It’s been stressing me out over how much I’ve been consuming. In a few days I’m having a friend over for my birthday. We’ve planned to make a cake and but lots of candy and stuff. After planning this, I decided I wasn’t going to count my calories on that day, because I know it will make me upset seeing the large amount of calories I will be eating. However, I’m already feeling really stressed thinking about it, and going over my limit. Idk what to do. Any advice?

I think I’m developing an eating disorder.

...See more I’ve always had a low self esteem and not-so-good body image. But in the last year it’s gotten so much worse. I hate the way I look and constantly criticize myself. In mid October (2020) I started restricting as much as possible without my parents noticing. While in school I was eating small lunches and dinner, but when out of school I’d try my best to only eat dinner (Because that was the only time my eating was monitored by my parents) I’ve even started counting calories. I feel as though I’m eating too much, though I know if I told anyone how much I’ve been eating they would probably be concerned. My mom has even noticed I’ve been losing weight too. I don’t want to self diagnose but I think I have an ed. I just want to know what’s going on with me, without having to tell my parents anything.
