There was a time after I separated from my husband, I went through a bout of depression and not eating.  In fact I didn’t eat for days.  I was like a zombie walking around.  I would be looking at t.v. and some one would ask me what I was watching and I didn’t have a clue.

I then started eating and I kept “thinking” how fat I was.  I would eat and then go in the bathroom and make myself throw up.  Even though I was losing weight, I “thought” I was fat.  I was on theis self destruction mode for a while.  I would see people that I hadn’t seen in a while and they thought with all the weight loos so quickly they thought I had AIDs!!  No, it was just that I was starving myself, even though I was eating.

Now I like food too much!! lol

Have you ever had/have  an eating disorder?

Nope I never had earting disorder problem but I did had throwing up because I forced myself to do it.

I had gallstones in my gallbladder.

So, everytime I eat food, I had sharp pain in the between my diaphram.

Those stones were stuck in the gallbladder pipeline .

So, the bile duct couldn’t move forward.

So, in order to stop the pain, I had to put my finger into my mouth, into my throat and gag out all the food.

It was a relief when the food came out. The pain stopped.

So everytime I ate a bread or oatmeal, not even rice or meaty food, I had to force myself  to vomit out the food once the pain started.

Yes, my weight dropped from 60kg to 40 kg in a month. ( 132pound to 88 pound)

@peachpurple are you still doing it now?

@4cryingoutloud I never had an eating disorder but I know a classmate has bulimia, is that the right term? She was fat before and doesn’t want to get fatter so she eats what she wants to eat but vomit after it. She put a finger to touch her throat and there is a mark on her finger that she is putting it on her mouth.

I have weight issues and even after now I want to get thin. I never plan to vomit a food because I already put it on my intestine, lol. It should stay there. I think there is a way around to get thin. I am glad you get over that kind of illness because it is never helping you, it always leads you to somewhere that will bring danger to your health.

I never had eating disorder – I was slim until I reached 32 years old, I’m now 33 and I’m still within normal BMI but I can see the changes in my body – slow metabolism, sedentary lifestyle, no exercise and such. I have thought of being Bulimic but you don’t force yourself into that right? you fell into it and I also don’t have anything to be depressed about. My fats make me sad sometimes but even when I was depressed back then, I didn’t develop any eating disorder.

@peachpurple, hope you got help for the gallstones?  I can relate to gallbladder problems, in fact I had mine removed.

@grecy95, yes that would be bulimia.  That’s what I would do.  At first I made myself throw up, then it just became automatic every time I ate I would just throw up.  I knew no matter what I ate I was going to get fat and I didn’t ever want o get fat again.  So, when I would eat…I could see me being fat again and I didn’t want that.

Now food is my friend! 😉  Or I just don’t care what other people think of me.

These eating disorders where did they originate from i wonder. I have never had an eating disorder before, maybe depression. I also remember a time when i was so frustrated with life, i didn’t like what was going on in my life. I was always anniyed with someone i always felt down nithing made sense to me at all. So with that came the idea of not eating i had no appetite, food was not really my favorite thing at the time, but never once did i want or have the feeling of throwing up. Mine was just the depressing mood that made me not eat. Its a really bad feeling but i soon got iver it and i have learned that getting myself worried over stuff that i cannot change doesn’t add a day to my life.

@Anitah Gimase,  I also wonder about eating disorder.never had I experienced eating disorder. I am thankful to God for I always have the appetite to eat though I control myself to eat plenty for the body and mouth never surrender if take and take foods. It’s the body that is seen as over eating for it expands and hard to reduce,lol.

I pity those with bad sicknesses like what @peachpurple is suffering , her gall bladder problem. I hope her gall bladder is now ok. I am also stunned with the problem of @JoDee Stout .Her problem was so weird for she has previous eating disorder.Thankfully she is fine now and food is now too er friend.Nice ending at least food as the best friend. Let us always take good care of ourselves which sometimes we like t abuse by eating unhealthy foods.
