Am I suffering Anorexia?
Hi! I just think calories are controlling my whole life. Everywhere I go all I can think about are calories. I have lost 5kgs in past 2 months thanks to this. Is there something wrong with me?
@Letshelptogether7354 I want to start by saying that there is nothing wrong with you. In fact, you sound like an insightful person who is experiencing an appropriate curiosity and concern about your recent behavior. Some people may count calories and pay particular attention to their diet without feeling as though it is controlling or affecting their life. If you feel as though counting calories and your recent weight loss is preoccupying your mind or interfering with your daily functioning, it may be helpful to reach out to your doctor or a trusted professional for support. At the very least, letting someone know about your current concerns may help keep you accountable and on track with your health-related goals. You are strong for reaching out and I wish you nothing but the best!

^^^What kristen said. Also theres a cool free app called Recovery Road it helps with eating disorder behaviors. You don't have to have a ED to use it. You record your food and meals but not your calories. It also has features to rates your behaviors, thoughts, and emotions for each meal. It's a pretty cool app and it helps me alot. If you have a therapist you can link it to them and they get reports. It also has mindfulness stuff and positive affrimations. Using the app helps me focus on my disordered behaviors and thoughts than calories.
