I think I might have an eating disorder
Hi, my name is Luna. Im a teen and Ive always had a little bit of a problem with my body. On 2015, before I got into puberty I was a little bit on the heavier side, but just because I still hadnt matured. Then last year I lost a lot of weight without really trying, we are talking about [weight edited by 24Help1] kilos. I was super skinny, and my BMI showed I was underweight, but as much as I can remember I dont think I took much care about what I eat. Until about June this year I stayed super skinny, but then I gained a little weight. Im by no means overweight, far from it, Im skinny, have nice legs, a shapely butt and boobs, but a toned tummy, but I still feel insecure. So Ive started taking a lot of caer into what Im eating, and Ive been eating less than I think I should. For example, for breakfast I hades a green tea and 4 walnuts, then I had strawberries for lunch and eat something healthy at about 6 in the afternoon, so I didnt eat much during the day. Im taking care of what I eat, I dont eat bread, chocolate, candies, for example. The thing is Im restricting, and whenever I eat something that is more calorie dense, or even if I just eat like a normal person, I feel super guilty. My mother is kinda concerned, and I want to know is it posible that I have an ED?

Hi Luna. Thanks for sharing your story here. I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. I don't know if you have an eating disorder but if you are concerned about your behaviours around eating, then it might be worth talking to your doctor about it. Most people need 3 solid meals a day and what you described doesn't sound like enough but talk to your doctor to be sure.
