eating disorder?

[justwanabe]

hi im 20 years old when i was 13 i went through  about of bulimia but got help but almost a year ago i decided to embark on a weight loss journey  in 6 months i went form 247 to 158 i did it by only eating around 300 cal and purge 1 or 2 times a day a sometime less if i went over i would purge extra.Every one keeps calling me anorexic but at  5.9ft  and 132 pound im clealy not anorexic but i continue to restrict and the last 2 moth have only lost 7pounds because i have binged and purged 3 times i feel like a fat failure because i feel i have plateaued  on my weight toss but i am to tired to up my workouts. after looking at the criteria for anorexia and bulimia i fit neither does this mean i don't suffer from an eating disorder?

There is no specific weight for someone who is suffering either Anorexia or Bulimia, anyone can suffer it regardless of their weight.
It might be good to get help before spiralling back into your old pattern

You definitely have an eating disorder. There is something called non specific, where you niether fit exactly into a catergory.Purging is not good for you ,EVER. NO matter how often , its so bad for your body and teeth. I have suffered from bulimia and I know its a struggle. MY advice is to not restrict yoursefl to 300 cal a day or anything under1200-1500. Your body will go into starvation mode and retain more water and food and in the long run it will make you fatter and unhealthy. Try to get on a healthy exercise and diet plan. Sometimes your body plateaus when its time to stop losing weight. I woudl also see someone like a therapist and find out what the back issue is that you have a problem with your body and food. Good Luck!
