Do I Have An Eating Disorder?

396545382 I'm slightly worried. Okay, so I am completely against eating disorders and starving yourself/binging and purging, and I have complete empathy for those who are anorexic or bulimic and hope that they realize they are beautiful the way they are and don't need to lose weight. Now, I don't think I'm overweight, I know I'm not. When I look in the mirror I think I look okay, not extremely pretty but not ugly. In the past few years I've been noticing that my stomach area sticks out so it makes me look kind of chubby, just in that area though. I also sometimes have a slight double chin, only when I move my head back though. I don't want to starve myself or anything but nowadays I've kind of just been feeling like I want to get rid of that part on my stomach that sticks out, and the double chin too. I don't count calories but sometimes I feel guilty for eating something and I keep debating over whether to eat something that I know is kind of unhealthy. I don't want to lose weight, because I'm almost underweight already according to my BMI. (not because of dieting or anything) I just want to get rid of the fat areas. I think I look perfect when I just suck in my stomach so that my stomach looks flat, because the rest of me looks fine in my opinion. So do you think I have an eating disorder? If one is developing, I want to stop it before it completely takes over my mind and I start starving myself. Thank you!
@Jhgh: Um, that wasn't really my question...but thanks...

  1. Lena - It doesn't sound like you have an eating disorder, you're just conscious about healthy eating.

    My best advice is to talk to a doctor or fitness expert at a gym. They would help you with achieving your goals, while still maintaining a healthy outlook on food.

    Getting rid of belly fat can be as simple as doing crunches everyday! Google some abdominal muscle workouts you can try and it will help you.
